Polish relation about Russians, Ukrainians? [281]
VLAD123 "And didn`t Russian saved Poles from total distruction? For example: they saved them from full scale Tataro-Mongol invasion, they saved them from Swedes (Poland was devastated by Swedes), they saved them from German Nazies. I guess you know that Nizies planned to eliminate 80-85 % of Poles and rest of them either sterilize or send in Siberia?"
The Mongols defeated Russia and occupied Moscow. The Mongol army continued into Poland and were eventually stopped by Polish knights. Ghengis Khan also died and the Mongols settled in the Tartar Mountains - and later fought with the Poles/Lithuanians to defeat the Teutonic Knights. Ghengis Khan said of the Polish troops - you can cut them down like grass in a field - but drop your guard for one minute and the grass will grow around your ankles and strangle you. Sweden devastated much of Poland but the Poles held out in the southern town of Zamosc. The Swedes killed the Polish Princess and took the crown jewels back to Sweden where they still are. No sign of any Russians. Russia waited for Nazis to weaken Poland before they INVADED on the 17th September. NOT helped. NOT saved. But invaded. they executed many on the spot and deported 700,000 to Siberia - including my Grandfather. In the Gulag he watched most of his friends starve to death. Russia ONLY released the Poles because they were stupid enough to deal with Hitler who invaded Russia. Russia denied aerial support for the Wasraw uprising. Waited on the left bank of the Vistula until the Germans slaughtered the Poles in Warsaw. After the war Russia denied Poland freedom to move, talk, print, speak. Most young men were turned into alcoholics, brainwashed, families destroyed, shot, deported. Russia DID NOT rescue Poland from the Nazis. USA supplies 40 MILLION tonnes of equipment to Russia to keep it alive so it could attack Germans. Poland helped allies by giving the Anigma code - fighting battle of Britain (12% kills) fighting all over - including with Red army to take Berlin. Russia did NO FAVOURS to Poland WHATSOEVER. The sooner you realise that the better. Then we can go for a pint.
