News / What's the stupidest question asked about Poland? [414]

Once my friend was in UK and someone asked him to translate something for some Russian guy and when he said that he doesn't know Russian, reaction was like "So you don't have the same language in Poland?".

Really? I thought that Poles have the same language as russian too....

one of my mates came 2 with this silly n cheeky smile on his face and asked me:
is it true u ev got polar bears in poland n that penguins r runnin on the streets?? :P

damn that made me laugh :P

Stay it for us, russians. Everybody (and poles including) in the world knows that bears is running across red square !!!

History / Battle of Grunwald 1410 The biggest medieval battle. Germans smashed. [174]

Oh I see that It hurts when on the other painting of this artist Russians are shown on knees ...

Sure Yes! It hurts us, but Russians were beaten for many times, not only from poland, but from tatars, swedes, french, germans, jupanees abd so on. But Roman empire, for example, was not so invincible, as it is described in textbooks.

It depends from the fact which Roman Empire do you mean? If it is Western part, than it fell long before Russia, if it is East Roman Empire (Byzantin or Romeion Empire), than Russia had long term relation with it, and may be considered as a true successor of it and therefore of all Roman Empire. This fact was well expressed during 15 cent in wellknown phrase "Moscow is a third Rome, two Romes fell (Rome itself and Constantinopol) but third stands and will stand forever"

History / Norman Davies - the Brit who loves Poland and becomes one of Us [250]

Norman Davies is well known for his love to Poland. He Wrote many books about Polish history. After so many years he speaks Polish excellent. What do you think of him? He is often criticism cuz of his Polish-PHOBIA.

He hardly may be regarded as a historian, all his books just a biased profanation of the historic events. I can say it from my, Russian point of view.

as to Norman Davies ... he writtes about our histry in neutral way and writtes the truth

What !!! Neutral way? All his books full of rusofobic fantasies and thus, of stupid adoration of polish expirience...

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

i must say that the level of hatred for Jews displayed on this website is a horrible way to show one's Polish identity.

That's right babe....Everybody hate Jews. I hate Jews, you hate Jews, even more Jews themselves hate Jews...And what? I am Russian, and Poles hate Russians, but Russians hate Poles in their turn.....What a problem? Or you just want to feel yourself some kind of exclusive?

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

About 3 millions of Poles. While from about 20 millions of Soviet citizens, about 7 millions were Ukrainians, 2 millions Belarusians.

Well, and of course it is supposed that it wasn't Russians at all among the victims, yes?

Life / Why many funny stories about Polish People in Europe? [38]

I bet every one of you, racists, is a wretched coward, scared of physical pain and attacking us only because it is safe to do so over the computer. How about meeting me, Puzzler, in person, and showing what a strong guy you are? Would you dare, racist scum?

I don't like pain, but welcome to Moscow.

Of course yes, it's our history, it is a part of me....

History / WWII - Battle of Britain and Poles [104]

Poland had the fourth largest army combating the Germans, the most highly decorated navy, the largest, and most effective, resistance organization, and made numerous other great contributions.

So much the worse was Poland's defeat. How it could be that owing all such forces Poland was able to resist only few weeks?

Con, within the same time yours lost territory much bigger than the whole Poland.

You are right, but we were still able to fight.

Besides It's not easy to fight when one is attacked from every side.

You are not right. Soviet troops invaded only after total Poland's defeat by Germans.

Sweden? Actually dont remember such campaign from 1809, the year we had our last military conflict with Sweden. If you meant Finland, well, it was right war, because needed some additional territory around SPb.

vonavka - perfume

On Russian word "vonyat' " means "to stink"

Other above mentioned words on Czech just sound very funny for Russian ear

Just guess, how it will be "train"? ;-))))

I bet it will be "Vozidlo"? ;-))))))

Language / Interesting inconsistency between Polish and Russian [71]

actually russian has both words 'stul ' (u - sounds like in book ) and 'kreslo'. BTW, you should know being in Russia, that verbs 'to write' and 'to pee' have the same writing form and may be differed only by stress.

I heard that russian 'chetire' (four) make a great impression on Spaniards

History / Life in communism vs democracy in Poland [234]

One thing I cannot understand, how can you hate communism? How can you hate the idea which means the prosperity of all mankind? You should hate the human nature which spoils and kills the essence of any generose idea instead!
