Mods, I see where this is leading and it ain't healthy. Please monitor and be ready to step in.

Without us? Should thank us? This is inaccurate and inflammatory.

Nazism was very unfortunate. Let's move on...

other peoples achievements

In your dreams.
Or let me put it some different way:
Great achievements in collecting old Bundesrepublik's money.
And who is speaking of unemployment ?
Have already heard opinions of your fellow Germans from the West on your "Ossi Fleiß" ?

Dem Ossi von heute gefälllt es, sich selbst als ewigen Verlierer und den Wessi als ständigen Gewinner darzustellen. Verständlich - garantiert dieses sorgfältig gepflegte Looser-Image doch weiterhin satte Transferleistungen aus dem Westen ohne jegliche Gegenleistung.

Come on Borrki, I've hear that from you since I came onto this board. This is the same wrong impression you post about like your alleged catastrophe of the GDR compared to Poland.

Just look around, Saxony rivals now Bavaria, Saxony and Thuringias schools belong to the best in the country as the latest Germany wide test has shown, an Ossi is chancellor, an Ossi is captain of the holy grail of Germany - the Fußballnationalmannschaft etc.etc.etc.

Just because Poland had sucked and still suck doesn't mean Eastern Germany does so too...poor guy....either you are blaming other people for your fate or you have to denigrate them to apologize for your own short comings.

That way you will never make it...

Dem Ossi von heute gefälllt es, sich selbst als ewigen Verlierer

Wir sind doch keine Polacken!

Heulen und Jammern ist nich unser Ding...

Verständlich - garantiert dieses sorgfältig gepflegte Looser-Image

There is only one people here cultivating a "loser-image"....or should I say "victims-image"?

Half of this boards posts is about how the oh so bad Germans and the oh so bad Russians thought all the time about new ways to torture the oh so nice Poles who otherwise of course would belong to the leading country in the world!

Sofia Vasilyevna Korvin-Krukovski, a.k.a. Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya (Russian: Со́фья Васи́льевна Ковале́вская). (Moscow, January 15, 1850 - Stockholm, Sweden, February 10, 1891, aged 41 from influenza), was the first major Russian female mathematician, and also the first woman who was appointed to a full professorship in Europe in 1889 (Sweden). Her first name is sometimes given as Sonya.

Oleg Ivanovich Yankovsky (Russian: Олег Иванович Янковский; born February 23, 1944, Dzhezkazgan, Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, USSR) is a Soviet/Russian actor who has excelled in psychologically sophisticated roles of modern intellectuals. In 1991, he became, together with Alla Pugacheva, the last person to be named a People's Artist of the USSR.

He is not Pole. If you are -sky, it dose not mean you are of polish origin automaticaly. In this case, Yanko- exposes his ukrainian origin.

Kostia, privet!

Yanko- exposes his ukrainian origin.

His last name could have been transferred for several times. Afterall I wouldn't assert he's not any related to Poles. At least I found a couple links proving that (also see post#1 of this thread). What did you find?

Ooops, put it on other thread but it might have been better here. The artist Witkacy was a "Russian" citizen. He fought in the Russian army in WW1.

Even that is not true as compared to the pre-war East-Poland.

There's also the point that a number of the people moved into the "reclaimed territories" didn't know how to farm that particular type of land. People from mountain regions in south etc didn't always have knowledge of how to farmia in Warmia (for example).

Couple that with a totally disasterous non-commital agro-policy for a few decades.

Vija Artmane

Vija Artmane

Artmane was born Alīda Artmane at the time when Latvia was a sovereign nation. Her father, Franz (Fritz) Artmann, of Baltic German ancestry, died in a tragic accident aged 19, just four months before she was born. Her Polish mother survived as a single mother by doing seasonal agricultural jobs

He was born in Izhevskoye (now in Spassky District, Ryazan Oblast), in the Russian Empire, to a middle-class family. His father, Edward Tsiolkovsky (in Polish: Ciołkowski), was Polish; his mother, Maria Yumasheva, was an educated Russian woman. His father was a Polish patriot deported to Russia as a result of his revolutionary political activities

Alexey Sikorsky, Ivan's father, was an orthodox priest in Antoniv (Skvira district, now it's in Kiev region), so he couldn't be a Pole.

His ancestors must have been of Ruthenian szlachta origin (that is Ukrainians or Belorussians).

Well, you can't find more Polish name than Sikorski ....moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/sikorski.html

This name isn't polonisated version of Ruthenian name ... some Poles were simple moving on east ...

Sasha, you Russkies have a mafia country, never had democratic gov. Polishness is about democracy. She is Russian no Polish. You can transfer genes from one to another but no social and political structure. Sorry. Just go to google earth, see your cities, they are nothing like an European.

The Russian modernist composer Igor Stravinsky was the son of a Polish singer whose surname was Strawincy.
Regarding Gogol, regardless of his mother's ancestory, he was anti-Polish. His novella "Taras Bulba" is full of invective towards Poles. I.E. The beauty of Polish women seduces righteous Russians and turns them against their people. This is a Ruthenian parallel to the Prussian HAKATists who insisted that it was the Polish woman, angry about the loss of her political influence, who kept the flame of Polish nationalism alive through the years of partition.

Teodor Narbutt

Teodor Narbutt

After graduating from a famous Piarist college at Lubieszów, Narbutt entered the Vilna Academy, where in 1803 he graduated in engineering. He then moved to St. Petersburg, where he joined the Cadet Corps. He served in the Imperial Russian Army, where he became a captain in the field engineering corps. He took part in the 1807 and 1812 Russian campaigns against Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1809 he constructed the Bobruysk fortress (modern Babruysk, Belarus), for which he was awarded the Order of Saint Anna.
