Famous Russian Poles

Greeks..., Greeks...

Balkans remain the dynamite one way or another.
I heard that in Russia the protesters were crashed.Greeks have really anarchist feelings,they don't like to be ruled,foreigners have known that.

It was the problem ....


Well Poland was much different than Russia (as always) but I was refering to the economical situation.

It is fact that where Russians introduce their absoltists rule ... there is regres ...

Only gas helps you in your insufficient system. Unfortunately some parts of Poland looks different and in the past were much richer it is result of introducing your visions...


Our politicians don't have official doctrine saying that in 20 years times "Gas and pipelines are going to be like panzer divisions"


That is why in my opinion you don't need more ethnic groups in your country :)


I hope so. As you know Poles are very likely to help you in such changes :)


He is realist when it comes to Russia.

Not that I expect any kind of good manners from our Russian friends... but I have just realised Kostik means Polish Slavic names !
Rather funny that Moscovites pretending to be most Slavic of all Slavs don't even understand this tradition.
Beautiful names used from Montenegro to Poland are absolutely unfamiliar to Russian wannabe Slavs !

Refering to Roman and Greek tradition looks ridicoulus as well.
I would rather suggest names like Baatarsuch, Naranchuu, Ojun, Czuchalchuu etc.
Ojun Ivanov sounds great.
Same for Bjamba Putin.

Are these names Russians? Never have heard them!

I like jews, poles and russians. Stop hate!!

We slavs are so mixed, so if we hate each other we hate our own family. AND YES JEWS are part of our slavic family, live with it nananan!!!!!!!

So, love Jews and Russians seems to be the message :)

I called him a "Russophobe" implied that his reasoning on Russia has never had anything with reality. Nowadays US is the agressor as the USSR used to be with the only difference that their "Poles" are Serbs, Iraquies etc... Quite hypocritically of you that you support them (to say nothing that it's not very smart).


With all respect... Jews are not Russians.

Many Jews are of Russian descent tho, Sasha.

Russian cannot be a jew, but Jew certainly may be Russian.

There're lots of them of British and Germanic tribe. But this fact doesn't make them relate to those categories. Most of them live not in Israel but in the US. This doesn't make them Americans either... Jews are jews.

Their impact particularly in the last century on Russian history was... let's put it "ambiguous". That's probably why many Russians have mixed feelings about that...


That's a profound thought. :)

Ambivalent was probably a better word, Sasha

Profound indeed!

Frankly speaking, I am recalling Mr. Berezvski, who once proclaimed himself Cossak's chief. He-he...

Yes Russianess is much more hardcore than Jewness.

Another famous Russian of Polish origin is the novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky. He was also a venomous Polonophobe - negative remarks about the Poles and Poland can be found in quite a few of his books, e.g. Crime and Punishment, The Gambler, The Karamazov Brothers. That's why, after my initial great interest, I stopped reading him at all. Actually, today I value Lev (Leo) Tolstoy much higher than Dostoyevsky or Chekhov (the latter is another Polonophobe). Tolstoy was at first a bit Polonophobic but eventually changed his attitude into a friendly and compassionate one (see e.g. "Hadji Murat," Tolstoy's last work). Another famous Russian of Polish origin is the great Romantic poet and short story writer Mikhail Lermontov, author of the magnificent Hero of Our Time. His family, the Lermonts, were originally Poles of Scottish extraction (this is mentioned, if I remember it right, in Norman Davies's God's Playground. A History of Poland.) Cheers, guys.

:)

interesting infos. Thanks

- Well, Kopernik was born in Poland, one of his parents was Polish (the other, true, was of your bunch), and he fought against your wonderful nation, so we have a point in regarding him as a Pole. I don't mind if you regard him as one of yours - but mind that he didn't seem to like the Germans too much. :) Who allegedly thinks that "everybody stemming from what is now Poland (even centuries back) HAS TO BE POLISH"? It seems it's you, nazi creep, who are trying to ascribe this statement to us. Hehe, your greatest philosopher, Friedrich Nietzche, considered himself Polish (of the noble Nickis family) and had an extremely negative opinion of the Germans. Would you give us your kind permission to regard him as a Pole, or not? How does it taste to regard such a virulent Germanophobe as Nietzche as German?

:)

Well...he was a crazy guy....must have been his "polishness" in him.
I wonder though if he spoke one word polish or which "great" Poles educated and inspired him...I know of no one, do you?

Curios, brilliant minds like Dostoyevsky an Checkov knew you and couldn't stand you (becoming polonophobes after your own words) and a Friedrich Nietsche has no idea at all about you at all and seems to like you...LOL

Missed the stink you are farting Pussy! Where were you so long???

Ioann, eh? Thanks Kostia. I shall consider it when naming my daughter. ;)

- What an ignorant, slow-witted nazi nincompoop. - Nietzche had syphilis which, as I understand, he contracted in Germany, from a German woman or man. (By the way, does the German government still encourage unemployed German women to work as prostitutes?) So according to you, Nietzche spoke some Polish, or not? You seem to suggest he didn't. Prove. Do you allege 'a Friedrich Nietzche has no idea at all' (sic) what the Poles are like? Prove. Well, if such an inquisitive mind as 'a Nietzche' took pride in his being Polish, this seems to mean he knew what he was talking of. Dostoyevsky was a Russian chauvinist who disliked not only Poles, but also, among others, the Germans. You don't seem to know that, cretin. Hence, considering the fact you're a German chauvinist, perhaps if you knew what Dostoyevsky scribbled about your ilk you wouldn't call him 'brilliant.' :) So you say Dostoyevsky and Chekhov knew something about us Poles and because of that they rightly hated us? Are you able to tell what they allegedly knew? Please, divulge this mysterious knowledge to me. So you suggest that because no Poles educated Nietzche we Poles should be blamed for that? Why? Why on earth it is Poles, not Germans, who should have educated Nietzche, who was German, lived in Germany and spoke German? So you brag that it was exclusively 'great' Germans who educated Nietzche? Well, they must have given him a great education if he hated Germans so much. :)


- Wow, you're acting really confident in this Polish forum. One could think you're the host here. Get lost, racist trash.
:)
PS. The very sole representative of German culture I care to appreciate is composer Bach (who, by the way, didn't seem to hate Poles; he wrote a few great polonaises). But if you, nazi creep, keep on insulting my country, its culture, etc., I'll grab all the Bach cds I've got (I've got them all), urinate on them, throw them into the trash bin and never-ever listen to Bach again. So if you really love your native culture so much, think twice before you start slamming Poles again.

Haven't heard about it. Where did you read that?


If you like his books why not read him? Besides, is there any evidence of his "polonophobeness"? I haven't heard of it either. Neither have I about Chechov who was comedian and that would be quite weird to learn of his dislike of any nation...

As for Lermontov I heard only of "Scottish" version.

Well... Würstel, it's rather your way of promoting German achievements lol.
But I'm already bored with all this Copernicus stuff.

Your true heritage is the German Democratic Republic.
The Zone.
Would you please name at least ONE famous,
worldwide known DDR-scientists, artist, movie maker, author etc.etc. except for commie darlings like Brecht or Fallada ?
I'm all ear.

- The great British historian Norman Davies mentions Dostoyevsky's Polish origin in his book 'God's Playground. A History of Poland' (a Polish translation of the book is titled: 'Boze igrzysko'). I think he mentions in the book also Lermontov's Polish extraction. By the name, 'Dostojewski' is a surname found often enough in Poland. It's not typically Russian, is it? Hehe, if I remember it right, one of the communist officials in Poland had the surname.

Sasha, no offence, but I think I'll keep clear of Dostoyevsky for a while longer. I still read Pushkin's prose, Lermontov's 'Hero...', Gorky, Bulgakov, Gogol (oh, he, Gogol, was of Polish origin too, his Polish surname was 'Jankowski' or 'Janowski'). Boris Pasternak is my beloved poet. Best wishes.

PS. Osip Mandelshtam was born in Warszawa.

Be my guest!


As your's was the commie republic of Polonistan??

- What a list of mediocrities and bores. I tried to read some of them long ago (only because I'm curious about any literature), but gave up. By the way, I don't like Brecht either. His best stuff, The Threepenny Opera, is a plagiarism of an English author, and in the play by Brecht (there's also his -bad - novel) the best are the songs, I mean the music, by the Jewish composer Weil. :) No, I don't really know anyone who can honestly say: 'I love German literature.' Not even one such a person, hehehehe. Everyone says: 'It's so grim, boring, with no sense of humor.' But the Germans are educated to believe strongly that Goethe and Schiller are the greatest poets of all, admired throughout the world. Sorry, I prefer for example, Shakespeare, Pasternak and our Polish Wojaczek.

:)

PS: At least we OWN a Goethe and Schiller (if I go asking for this "Wojtschach" how many people know about this one?), you instead have to run around in your neighbours countries to steal some "names"! :)

Let's see how the internet lexicon Wiki compares our people, yes?:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany

And now you Pusy! :):):)
But you ARE a crazy Polak so your opinion counts for horse sh*t even if you think the world listens to you, but she gives also only a sh*it as you very well know....

Really hard to say since 1/6 of Russian population has ever had Polish ancestors. The last names with -iy ending is not considered typically Russian but they're pretty widespread.


That's ok. As for me I'm not the biggest fan of his creation. :)


Do you read that in Polish? I wonder if you have his poetry translated into Polish?


Kolia Gogol's considered Ukranian Russian writer. :) Sounds mutually exclusive. But that's the way it is... :)

Yes, I do.
But I'm much more than a standard European lol.
Most of them enjoyed some local popularity in der DDR only.
Jurek Becker was Polish Jew from Lodz.
Do you really believe Krug, Biermann, Masur were some top names of the international show business ?

But you made my day putting Sigmund Jähn on your list.
So, why not Baron von Münchhausen ?
He was even named a cornet in the Russian army lol.

The true is that occupied country like East-Germany had absolutely no chance to develop its own culture or R&D.
You were from definition underachievers in science and art.

Exactly the same goes for Poland's last 250 years - most important period of the modern civilization.
Take it for granted being under brutal occupation of the barbaric neighbors (Prussia and Russia), with all universities closed, scientists murdered or sent to Siberia is not the optimal environment for the blossoming culture and science.

- Well, my opinion seems to matter a lot for example to you, stupid kraut, considering your lame attempts to talk back to me. As for me, I am right now having fun in teasing you and laughing at your broken-English replies, but when my good mood passes I shall ignore you.

Is it you who scribbled this abhorrent bragging entry on German 'kulthur' in 'Wiki'? It's in your style, and in 'Wiki' absolutely every single one can post entries, even such a deranged hunnish animal as you.

By the way, actually, at present few in the world know who Shcllire and Geohte are, and this trend shall get stronger and stronger, it seems. And soon you're going to have to add to your self-praising entry in 'Wiki' also scores of Turkish names. Watch the right Turkish spelling. :)

From what 'neighbor countries' do we allegedly steal 'some names'? What names are those? As for stealing and robbing, probably few in the world compare with the krauts.

:)
