Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first

seems that you found

Yes, a good source for everyone to learn in a pill how Poles treated Ukraine and its people in the past.

Keeping Ukraine under the Polish boot was possible thanks to the trecherous collusion of Polish top elites like royals and aristocrats with Russia. I already mentioned it several times before that most Polish nobles didn`t care what happened to Poland as long as their property and land ownership remained intact. Russian troops provided such protection.

Interviewer: "Your Royal Majesty should not lament too much over the loss of the public good, since You managed to save individual goods," writes Jan Potocki to King Stanisław August right after the Third Partition of Poland. This theme runs through your entire book - Polish elites exploit the tsarist power to maintain their wealth.
Daniel Beauvois: This is one of the things that was not discussed before my research. The archives show that the landed gentry collaborated with the tsar on a huge scale. Without the help of the police, sometimes the Russian army, the Polish lords could not suppress the rebellions or maintain order on their estates. I think this was most visible during the revolution of 1905. At that time, the landed gentry sent a lot of various appeals and telegrams to Kiev, asking the authorities to send a police detachment or a Cossack sotnia to help them. They were surrounded by their peasants. They themselves said: "Our residences are islands of civilization in a sea of ​​barbarity." That's how they saw themselves: as people constantly under threat.

So different than what the nobility regarded ethnic polish peasants then. Besides ethnic Ukrainians were part of the schlata and were part of the parliament etc.

Exactly! You only forgot to mention they were allowed to be such after complete polonisation, which included the adoption of the Polish language, culture and religion aka RC. Ha!!!!
It means they were Ukrainian aka Rus no more. They were Poles and Polesses!!!!!!

nobility regarded ethnic polish peasants

Polish peasants were catholic while Ukrainian weren`t so the attitude towards the latter was different aka much worse.

you are just annoying

Yes, I know, I am annoying to Polish nationalists who dream of committing crimes on others without bearing any responsibility for it.
I am here to dispel those sick desires of yours and your buddies.

Cossack risings

The Polish film adaptation of By Fire and Sword novel written by Polish Noble Prize winner Sienkiewicz is illustrated with the march of Cossack army against Polish forces during Chmielnicky Rising of 17th century. The scene features Let`s pour brothers which is an ancient Ukrainian song, origin and author unknown.

Let us pour, brothers,
Into crystal bowls,
Sabres would not take,
Bullets would pass by
Our hard heads!

So that Ukraine
would never cry,
So that our fame
and Cossack glory
Would endure forever.

For Cossack glory
is covered with our blood,
Slashed with swords,
Hewn with sabres
And washed in tears.

Let us rejoice, brothers,
While we have strength!
Until the march,
Until the sunrise

For the Cossack fate,
Like a rue in the field -
Slashed by rains,
Whipped by thunderbolts,
Together with the wind it rages.

Like the clatter of storks,
The Cossack character -
It will burst into laughter,
It will burst out sincerely,
In the end it will cry.
