Life / Can most people in Poland speak Russian? [43]

Many people speak Russian in Ukraine because there are around 5 million ethnic Russians in Ukraine who mainly live in the eastern and southern parts of Ukraine. Also when all of Ukraine west and east were part of the Russian empire Ukraine was heavily Russified the same with Belarus. Genetically there is no difference between a Pole, Ukrainian , Belarusian or Russian person all have the same founding fathers. You can google it and read all about it for yourself

Merged: Religion in Poland

How would you describe the average Polish view on Religion in Poland. what Christian celebration do most poles celebrate?

How do Polish people see the non- catholic polish citizens of Poland weather they be Polish Orthodox, Lutheran or anything else

Non catholic Poles what's it like belonging to a religious minority in Poland?

Genealogy / What ethnicity would you say a person would be if someone came from kresy Poland [41]

Obviously
My point is if someone came from western Ukraine when it was under polish rule and they had those surnames in there family would the person be of Polish or Ukrainian ethnicity

I am as much polish as anyone on this forum possibly more then most. However it's generally recognised by poles though rarely stated that there are poles and there are poles. That's why this forum exists in the first place. There is diversity within 'poles' I see this as a positive feature it's unfortunate that you dont seem to appreciate this positive difference. It is this difference that strengthens a nation.

I am trying to find out the ethnicity of my great grandmother those 3 surnames come from her side of my family

I have a Belarusian grandmother and all poles think she is polish. only when she says we're she is from some might suspect she is Belarusian but nearly all think she is polish from Belarus

History / Lwów, Wilno ... kresy - Poland have lost enormoust part of our heritage... [389]

In the end west Ukraine belongs to Ukraine and west Belarus belongs to Belarus hence both names but in the end we are all one people Slavic !

I've been to Belarus and she looks Belarusian but could also pass for Ukrainian or Russian

If you ask a pole if they are Slavic they will say yes, same if you ask a Russian, Serb ect We are all the same people open your eyes.... It's the same with Arabs from Iraq, Lebanon, Syria ect All one people Arabs speak dialects of classical Arabic same with slavs and ancient Slavic language derrrrr

The point is that different Slavic people are related to each other they are just sub groups who make up Slavic people

I grew up in Belarus, so you know the polish languauge is not spoke there

I am polish born in poland. Religion is nothing because its a choice and people change views like the wind changes direction.
Way of thinking is NOT genetic.

I am looking forward to watching the euro union collapse.... When It does you will think ' damn that crazy (so called) Russian was right. Germanic and Latin Europe will not care about Poland because in the big picture poland is just Poland.... The former government who sadly died in the airplane crash realised this that's why the EU killed them they were changing their minds about being a pawn state for the western illuminati.

Life / Do Poles drink more? [15]
