Sad really! but don't blame Poles this time!
there's no one to blame. Russia and Rech Pospolita (giving here a Russian transcription, not a spelling) have been two biggest confronting powers in the region for centuries.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned yet the first Russian Nobel prize winner
in literature (1905), the famous pisatiel - Gienrich Josifovich Sienkievich...
...he was a faithful subject of Russian tsar but wrote many interesting historical novels
in which Poland was oftenly mentioned.
*sorry, lads - I just wanted to see how does it feel to be a troll :-D*

Really? That's nice to know :-)
Oh yeah... Although I had thought he'd been Russian all my childhood. Probably because I had a little idea on how to tell a nationality basing on a last name or maybe because it coincided with a name of another famous Russian with Polish roots:
Juri Sienkiewicz
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Senkevich - Wiki in English
pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurij_Sienkiewicz - Briefly in Polish
Juri Sienkiewicz
In 1973, Senkevich began his career as a host of the "Travelers' Club" (Клуб путешественников), a show on the Soviet Central Television. During the 30 years, he visited as a journalist more than 200 countries. For his lifetime contribution to the television, he was awarded "TEFI", a prize of Russian Academy of Television, in 1997. Yuri Senkevich is in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's longest serving TV anchorman.

What about Bierut? His name certainly has a Russian ring to it and he was thoroughly Russified and Sovietised. Anyone know his ethnic roots?

Bierut was born in Rury, now a part of Lublin, the son of a village teacher Henryk Rutkowski and his wife Barbara (hence his later adopted name "Bie(r)-rut").
"Certainly"!

Sasha - I don't want to ruin your thread; find it very interesting - the different people you and some others keep digging up.
No too long ago I was in Sweden and while in a cafe I got to watch a Polish satellite channel (SatPol or PolSat?).
There was a program on people of Polish heritage who still live in Russia and other former Soviet republics who've been trying to move to Poland. Do you have any links, info on that subject? Preferably in English or Polish. I read and understand Russian but poorly. Find the subject interesting.
Mahalo or спасибо

Zygmunt Waliszewski/Валишевский Зыгмунт (rus).
A self-portrait:
Waliszewski was born in Saint Petersburg to the Polish family of an engineer. In 1907 his parents moved to Tbilisi where Waliszewski spent his childhood. In Tbilisi began his studies at a prestigious art school. In 1908 he had his first exhibition and participated in the life of artistic avant-garde. During World War I he fought with the Russian army, returning to Tbilisi in 1917. He visited Moscow several times and became inspired by the Russian Futurists. He, later, became a member of a Futurist group. In the early 1920s, he departed for Poland, and settled in Kraków.

Merged: Szymon Tokarzewski on Fyodor Dostoyevsky fellow political prisoner of the Tsar
Many people reading Dostoyevsky's major novels, whilst knowing something about his life story, have, after gleaning the ultra-reactionary political outlook contained therein, asked themselves incredulously "How in the world was this writer ever a part of the Fourier inspired group of would be revolutionaries known as the Petrashevsky Circle?" Strangely enough a Polish political prisoner, locked up with Dostoyevsky in Omsk Siberia, had already asked himself the same question before those novels had even been written. The following is from the memoirs of Szymon Tokarzewski In Siberian Prisons 1846-1857 (Siedem lat katorgi 1846-1857) translated for The Sarmatian Review
ruf.rice.edu/~sarmatia/405/254tokar.html
A well known story, regarding Dostoyevsky's political about-face, claims that it was after his conviction for political crimes, but before his deportation to Siberia, when he was being subjected to a mock execution, as he stood waiting for the firing squad to kill him, that he changed his political outlook and learned to love Tsarist autocracy. This bizarre "Saul on the road to Damascus moment" has always seemed ridiculous to me, but it cannot be discounted that in the face of imminent death, when a person is really faced with himself, it is possible that he, despite being about to be shot on the orders of the Tsar, may have actually realized that he loved the Tsar and believed that the Tsar loved him too-- as Nietzsche wrote "One beats the dogs one loves best". However I feel that the following explanation from Tokarzewski is far more plausible:
So what do you, dear reader, think about both Tokarzewski's explanation, as well as his attribution of Polish ancestry to the renowned writer? Dostoyevsky's father was from the Ukraine and at least one person bearing the Polonized spelling of his surname, Dostojewski, lives in Poland today.

How on earth could this man have ever entered any conspiracy? How could he have participated in any democratic movement? He was the vainest of the vain, and his vanity had to do with belonging to the privileged caste. How could he possibly desire freedom for the people if he accepted only one caste-the nobility, and regarded it as the only class that could lead the nation forward?
"Nobility," "nobleman," "I am a nobleman," "we noblemen" were constantly on his lips. Whenever he addressed us Poles and said "we noblemen," I interrupted him: "Excuse me, but I think that here [...]

However I feel that the following explanation from Tokarzewski is far more plausible:
So how did Dostoevsky become a conspirator? Probably he allowed himself to be carried away by a momentary impulse, just as sometimes, and also on impulse, he showed his deep regret that the waves of conspiracy carried him to the prison in Omsk. He hated us Poles, perhaps because his features and name betrayed a Polish ancestry.
So what do you, dear reader, think about both Tokarzewski's explanation, as well as his attribution of Polish ancestry to the renowned writer? Dostoyevsky's father was from the Ukraine and at least one person bearing the Polonized spelling of his surname, Dostojewski, lives in Poland today.
Polish physiognomy?
Russian Czarina Catherine II was of Sorbian origin, von Anhalt-Zerbst (Serbian)-Dornburg... and, her lover was Polish Stanisław Poniatowski who was real love machine and she gave him Polish throne
I miss Crow.
Even more, Dzerzhinskiy was Russian too
Kostya was much more worldly in 2008.
I miss Crow
Since we already know that Serbs are fighting in Ukraine as mercenaries, he must have died there. He would have spoken otherwise.
he must have died there
Well, I certainly hope not.
I hope he finally opened the restaurant business he always spoke about, and is simply too busy to write here.
too busy to write here
PolAm finds time.
I miss Crow.
That makes two of us.
People don't quit PF just like that... and Crow was a regular, a mainstay. Suspicious.
he must have died there. He would have spoken otherwise.
I highly doubt he went at all. He was an internet propagandist, not soldier. His nationalist compatriots sent him here to promote Great Serbia concept among Poles.
Suspicious.
Not at all.
He quit after I told him several times that he was wasting everybody`s time trying to convince Poles to his idiotic ideas and plans. He eventually realised the horrible truth - no Pole would go with Serbs and Russians against the West.
Remember, he was working here, not having fun. The work finished when it turned out completely futile - like Sisyphus`.
he must have died there.
I always thought he was well into late middle age, if not older. I doubt very much that he went to Ukraine. He's either dead or got fed up with this place, or he was being paid to post here and he gave up the job or was fired.

One of the Interesting comments from the video above:
Nasz brat Serb wspiera Rosjan. Jakie to piękne. Mam nadzieję, że są też myślący Polacy z Wami, tam walczący. Zdrowia Wam wszystkim życzymy. Bóg z Wami.
We can see similar messages of support from Poland to Ireland.
