History / Most important Poles and Slavs that ever lived [74]

If the list have 15 places instead of 10

It's a pity that there is a limit. Crow why did you do that?! :)

no problem with that. Spot this. There goes the list of 100 most important humans in history. So, why we wouldn`t make list of 100 most important Slavs in history? Later, when we learn more about many important Slavs, we can try to figure out by which order to make the list. Then, we would have idea which Slavs deserve to be among 10 most important Slavs that ever lived

History / Most important Poles and Slavs that ever lived [74]

yup Mrs Einstein too, he would have been nothing without her. The school told her he was an idiot.

well, in any case, in one period of their life Mrs and Mr Einstein lived in my town, Novi Sad, on the south of Serbia (and Yugoslavia). When walk in that particular street, i often pass close to their former house (there is nice table on house dedicated to them) wondering is it possible to become smart if just pass close to the house of the genuine people.

my working List of 10 greatest Slavic scientists and inventors ever

*** Nicolaus Copernicus
*** Maria Sklodowska
*** Mikhail Lomonosov
*** Konstantin Ciolkovski
*** Dmitri Mendeleev
*** Jan Janský
*** Josef Čapek
*** Nikola Tesla
*** Mileva Marić Einstein
*** Milutin Milanković

Mendeleev

absolutely.

I'd avoid Copernicus because of the debate about whether he was Polish or German.

Man was Polish. We all knows it. All Slavs knows it.

It nicely says so in Wikipedia in Serbian. Serbs knows (swhich between Cyril/Latin Serbian alphabets):

Nikola Kopernik (lat. Nicolaus Copernicus, polj. Mikołaj Kopernik, nem. Nikolaus Kopernikus, u mladosti nem. Niklas Koppernigk; Torunj, 19. februar 1473 - Frombork, 24. maj 1543) je bio poljski astronom, matematièar, pravnik, lekar i ekonomista, prvi nauènik koji je formulisao heliocentrièni model svemirskih tela.

But look what says same Wikipedia page in English. Its not nice by Anglos, masters of propaganda:

Nicolaus Copernicus (/koʊˈpɜrnɪkəs, kə-/;[2] Polish: About this sound Mikołaj Kopernik (help·info); German: Nikolaus Kopernikus; 19 February 1473 - 24 May 1543) was a Renaissance mathematician and astronomer who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at its center.[a] The publication of this model in his book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) just before his death in 1543 is considered a major event in the history of science, triggering the Copernican Revolution and making an important contribution to the Scientific Revolution.

Yes,

alright.

Depends on your point of view, however the thread says "important" and he was certainly that

There are other principles, too. then, after all, we are limited on 10 places.

1. positive impact of the person`s work and results locally and globally, during life and/or after the death
2. that is person famous within its own ethos
3. that is person internationally famous
4. importance of the person from different aspects

Yes, in terms of lasting impact.

yes, that i had in mind.

Ditch that Svetopluk person and also the Zawisza one. Chopin and Stravinsky deserve a place. Maybe Kosciuszko too.

we are limited on 10 places. Make your own list

Fascinated by Tesla - wasn't he a bit of a tortured genius who was no good at schmoozing?

one of the most significant stealing of the Tesla`s inventions was on the field of radio. Tesla sued Markoni for stealing and trail process ended after 40 years, just after Tesla`s death. Court declared that Tesla invented radio, not Markoni. Many people today even don`t know that it was one Slavic man, a Serbian, who invented radio, not Italian. 40 years of public lie dealt damage to Tesla`s contribution.

Then, because stealing of Thomas Edison, in protest, Tesla refused Nobel Prize. What i know, Tesla was the only one who refused to receive Nobel Prize.

Remove these, replace Dvorak with Smetana, add Dostoyevsky, , Marie Curie, Lenin and Chopin (half Polish) and there you have it.

hm, interesting

i think that`s it. Maria is in the game. For the Smetana, i agree wholeheartedly. Lenin? Was he Slavic? Was he positive? Dostoyevsky and Chopin were considered but, list is limited on 10 places.

Well, maybe if i move out Pope John Paul II, i can create space for Dostoyevsky. What you think?

If it was not for Jan Sobieski, Polish Woman would be using Burkas today.

Frankly, if there was no Jan Sobieski, Serbian woman would be using burkas today, too.

Alright. Alright. i moving Novak Djokovic and Antonín Dvořák out and adding Maria Sklodowska and Jan Sobieski. But, it was under the pressure, you know ;)

*** Nicolaus Copernicus
*** Pope John Paul II
*** Zawisza Czarny
*** Maria Sklodowska

Maria Sklodowska = why did you leave her off?

as i said, only 10 places available. i explained

Why don`t you make your own list? It would be interesting to me to see what other think

anything to do with her missing penis?

no. Really not. Until you didn`t mention it, i wasn`t even aware that my list consists completely of man. Interesting. Maybe even disturbing

Great woman. Yes i had her in mind. But, when you are limited with only 10 places and, when think of entire Slavic world,... But, if i had to make a list of the 10 most important Slavic scientists ever, she would defiantly goes among first five.

History / Most important Poles and Slavs that ever lived [74]

This should be interesting and relaxing topic.

Here is my list of 10 most important Slavs who ever lived.

i made selection on the base of next principles, while tried to be objective:
1. positive impact of the person`s work and results locally and globally, during life and/or after the death
2. that is person famous within its own ethos
3. that is person internationally famous
4. importance of the person from different aspects

/i selected 10 persons but, without numbering their position on the scale. i still contemplate./

*** Nicolaus Copernicus
*** Pope John Paul II
*** Zawisza Czarny
*** Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
*** Peter The Great
*** Leo Tolstoy
*** Svatopluk I of Great Moravia
*** Antonín Dvořák
*** Nikola Tesla
*** Novak Djokovic

Anybody have suggestion for different list of 10 most important Slavs ever? From my list only Novak Djokovic is alive (others lived in past) and still bringing great results, his glory rise even more day by day, not only glory of the great sportsman but also glory of a great man.

News / Next 100 years - Poland as great power? [35]

Merged: Future of Poland in predictions of George Friedman, in his book The Next 100 Years

Friedman

Just few quotations from the book, for the opening of discussion:

6. After 2030, three Great Powers will emerge to challenge the US: Japan, Turkey and Poland.

Finally there is Poland. Poland hasn't been a great power since the sixteenth century. But it once was-and, I think, will be again. Two factors make this possible. First will be the decline of Germany. Its economy is large and still growing, but it has lost the dynamism it has had for two centuries. In addition, its population is going to fall dramatically in the next fifty years, further undermining its economic power. Second, as the Russians press on the Poles from the east, the Germans won't have an appetite for a third war with Russia.

Japan, Turkey, and Poland will each be facing a United States even more confident than it was after the second fall of the Soviet Union. That will be an explosive situation.

Work / How can Americans of Polish descent get work in Poland? [22]

One becoming tired of constant double standards that on the international community imposing ruling world establishment, mainly from USA and west of Europe. if they can stimulate immigration, Poland can, too.

i don`t care if some powers weaken after Poland start to stimulate re-immigration in order to re-populate Poland. i don`t focusing on that. Let just Poland take back what belongs to her.

Work / How can Americans of Polish descent get work in Poland? [22]

Poland should stimulate return of Polish Americans to Poland. It can strengthen Polish national being. It can be good for finances of Poland and for economy in general. Whole process of uniting the Poles would also result in many new ideas on all fields, rise of creativity.

Do many Polish people in America hate Americans?

no need for hate. Chicago, with its 3 million Slavs and half of it Polish Slavs, should be turned into the Slavic autonomous province. Specific problems are more easily overcome in autonomy.

History / Questions About the Reformation of the Husaria under Sobieski and Poland's Husaria [9]

i see that some people here don`t know for the Serbian role in Polish history, in life of one Sobieski and particularly in formation of Polish Husaria. Obviously, education in communist, as well as in post-communist Poland failed. As if communist and post-communist regimes in Poland agree at least in one thing, that is in what should be or should not be object of study and learning in Poland.

Well, what can we do. You can always go and consult some Polish online encyclopedia or just google about it.

History / Questions About the Reformation of the Husaria under Sobieski and Poland's Husaria [9]

First riders of Winged cavalry that latter turn to be Husaria were Serbian Winged Gusari (Eng. winged bandits, pirates). Among them were then recruited first military commanders and masters of cavalry martial arts for further training. That`s how Husaria was born in Poland and in Hungary, too. Some of those first Winged riders retreated to Poland from declining Serbian Empire because of Ottoman Turkish invasion. There were complete Serbian military regiments. Later, when Serbian Despotate was formed, considering that was Rascia (central Serbian medieval land) part of the realm of the Polish Kings, Serbs respected obligations and regiments of Winged cavalry were regularly officially dispatch to Poland.

Jan Sobieski played great role in the process of massive arrival of Serbians to Poland. That way he most directly contributed to consolidation of Polish cavalry doctrine. Sobieski salvaged best from collapsing Serbian Empire. In his time Sobieski was Grand Master of the Dragon Order, noble order that was originally founded by Serbian Voivode of Knights Milos Obilic in attempt to resist to Ottoman invasion. In Kosovo battle, 1389 Turks vs. Serbs, Dragon Order acomplished one of its main aims and that was elimination of the Turkish Sultan Murad who was killed in battle by the Obilic himself who was then also slain by Sultan`s axe bearing bodyguards.

One of the major roles of the Serbs in Polish service was during Orsha battle, 1514, Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland, under the command of Hetman Konstanty Ostrogski vs. army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow under Konyushy Ivan Chelyadnin and Kniaz Mikhail Golitsin. Konstanty Ostrogski relied on Serbian husars as his trump card and won. There, Serbians once more proved themselves as the military elite of rising Sarmatian Commonwealth.

History / Heresy of Germanization and/or Anglicanization - The genesis; Polish, Slavic opinion [14]

few interesting books for reading, to those who seek to found out not only what hostile foreigners did to Slavs but, what Slavs done to itself and, after all, where is the genesis of modern day problems of the Slavic civilization.

slavs

One of the greatest Slavic traitors, pro-Germanic and Nazi heretic - Stepan Bandera, Ukrainian nationalist and fascist. Bandera was political activist and leader of the Ukrainian nationalist and so called independence movement, which as at the time nothing but satellite of the new German reich.

In late 1942, Bandera's organization, the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, was involved in a campaign of ethnic cleansing of Volhynia, and in early 1944, these campaigns began to include Eastern Galicia.

I see Serbians are in the world news again.

ah, believe me my friend, its very simple. Those who don`t control us tend to destroy us. With it they in fact honor us. Eventually, we shall extinct or we shall win.

Our mind-set which luring us to work in direction of formation of some new Commonwealth is by some magnates and powers seen as heresy against destine that they planed for us.

Life / Importance of awareness of Poland's heritage and culture among Polish children abroad [24]

This is one very interesting and important thread.

Children are future of every people. You would note that i said `people`, not `nation`. Its because, every word is important. So when one think of Poland and Poles, one needs to comprehend that we here speak of one old ethos, of old civilization, old people. Nations are young and, plus, those who invented nations, invented nationalism, too.

Anyway, Polish children should be fully aware of their great heritage. They should be very early liberated from complexes imposed on older generations of Poles. Complexes imposed on them by those who defeated and humiliated Polish ancestors. Complexes that are result of false teachings that state that are Poles newcomers to Europe. Those are anti-Slavic teachings of Anglo-Germanic historical schools. Teachings that are colored by their political interests.

But, no. There is many proofs that shows how are Poles, same as other Slavs, natives of Europe. Tell it to Polish children. Protect them. Save them. Long live Poland and Polish people.

Salute to Poles from Novi Sad, from Serbia!

'heresy' cannot be used in that way

it can. You see that it can

It's funny, but in two decades here I have never met anybody who would care even three-fifths of fcuk all as to that 'question'.

Interest for topic exist. Why else would some people hurry to ruin this thread?

nobody here gives a flying fcuk about your pathetic efforts to drive a wedge between Poland and her European partners.

In that partnership Poland seams to be eternal younger partner.

You are from Britain Harry. Who could know more about Britain`s loyalty to partnership with Poland, isn`t it Harry? Please...
