News / POcopalypse of Poland. [28]

POcopalypse

I remember ice cream called Calypso in different flavours. Not bad.

Coffee flavour was genuine. Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk liked it the most!!! Me, too!!!

Explanations have been made dozens of times: Ukrainians do what Poles do and there is a balance in nature. Simple.

History / Destruction of Ukrainian churches in Poland in 1938 [289]

a "crime" of demolishing couple of tens Orthodox churches

Another Polish whitewasher.

This only shows that whitewashing history is a popular national sport in Poland as I already mentioned.

it was all legal.

You mean Polish colonisers made cultural genocide on Ukrainian minority legal.
In result, Ukrainians decided to make their own genocide on Polish colonisers.

Orthodox churches were built by Moscow.

They already existed when there wasn`t Moscow......
Lemko minority which is Orthodox live in southern Poland near Gorlice region. It is only 170 km from Krakow considered the capital of Lesser Poland. Did Moscow bring them there??? No.

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [395]

not color.

Not really. Ukraine is famous for its fertile lands which in Polish is named black soil - czarnoziem. Czern aka blacks were peasants who worked on black soil.

it was no crime

Polish whitewashing continued:
Our crimes weren`t crimes at all, they were the norm at the time, let`s consider them history and move on. .
Others` crimes on us were horrible crimes which we mustn`t forget.

Iron, I thought you eventually matured with age. It seems I was wrong. :):):)

Yes, for 14 years he still hasn`t grown up enough to apologise first.

But my views of 2010 haven`t changed, either.

Polish pre-war authorities, believing that it was possible to polonize Ukrainian minority, committed a grave mistake. After various acts hostile to Ukrainians, the Polish-Ukrainian relations became the worst in history and their tragic culmination was the genocide of thousands of Poles in Volhyn region.

Another dark page in Polish history discovered.

Yes, but still too many Poles/Polesses prefer to keep it under the carpet. Fake history, fake history!!! they cry, like Iron does in this forum.
When will we become mature enough to admit out guilt????

if Poles celebrate their cursed soldiers, some of whom were murderers and bandits, why shouldn`t Ukrainians celebrate their own UPA heroes too?

Yes, why not? We should always strive to achieve a perfect balance in nature.

Yes, this dark page continues till today coz still too many Poles prefer to whitewash our cultural genocide on Ukrainians in the pre war period

AmaSSing that so many Poles/Polesses are still too immature to admit Polish guilt. Does this issue concern the whole nation? No, but most of it.

History / 70th anniversary of 1943 Wołyń/Volhynia and Eastern Galicia Massacre - controvercies [454]

disgusting.

Yes, it is disgusting to see that descendants of Polish colonisers of Ukraine are still in denial about their crimes.

Darling, the proper order of events is:
first Polish colonisers apologise to Ukrainians for centuries of oppression and cultural genocide, and then Ukrainians should agree to exhumations and other. And when they get mature enough as a nation, they will apologise too.

So, down on your knees, azholes, and start practising your apology now!
Or are you still too immature as a nation to be ready for such an act???

History / Should Poland organize March of the Living in Volhynia and Eastern Lesser Poland? [65]

A good take. Happens I agree with it.

Of course. Dmowski, the Founding Father of Polish nationalism, also prefered Russia to Germany. hahahaha

Are you proud of being a son of the Founding Father??? :):):)

fake history

Polish nationalist attitude concerning Polish crimes on others. Ha!

His English is far better than most of them

Yes, exactly, but a bit antiquated, as if he acquired it from the British literature of the 19th century. :):):) He can`t have spent too long in NYC - he must have studied English still working as a freshman in the Kremlin troll factory in Russia. He read Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, Emma and similar. :):):)

Life / Warsaw - what's there to love? Semi-livable city? [42]

Warsaw - what's there to love?

Monuments which show topless females carrying swords - Mermaid (the coat of arms) and Nike (symbol of Warsaw heroism during WW2).
Such monuments are impossible in the US due to American bigotry and political correctness. That is why more and more US pensioners are moving to Poland as I have just read.

High praise from you! Thanks very much.

Not at all. Polish nationalists have always tended to support Russia. AmaSSing!

All methods are good - the Russians and Poles.

Exactly!!! European Polish colonisers and barbarian Russian invaders - go to hell and leave Ukraine in peace.

The sad thing is that the Kremlin propaganda which you spread here to drive a wedge between Poland and Ukraine is also infecting some Poles/Polesses. Mostly scum like nationalists or Russophiles but also normal ones. Fortunately, it works only on elder generations. Because younger ones don`t care. I can see it in schools where I work with Ukrainian students.

Life / Warsaw - what's there to love? Semi-livable city? [42]

Memo to Putin: Drop the first one on Warsaw. That's where the worst world-war-loving morons congragate.

Warsaw - the most patriotic Polish city ever. Nazi Germans complained that if not for Warsaw, they would have 80% less problems with Polish underground during WW2.

Being a southern Pole, I love Warsaw as if I was born there.

and they would ""vent and defend ""every inch of it.

Exactly! Patriotic Warsawians have always felt like Polish Messiahs who came into this world to save Poland.

Warsaw - what's there to love?

E.g, The Old Town which was razed to the ground during WW2 and rebuilt afterwards. An excellent example of Polish stubborness

ok I never heard about the term

That`s what I am here for! EDUCATION!!! Once a teacher, always a teacher! Hough!

forced polonization policies were largely unsuccessful

No matter if they were or not. What matters is they took place. Ukrainians remembered them well. And they eventually took it out on Polish colonisers.

never included banning of the use of the Ukrainian language

It wasn`t Polish benevolence. Banning the language was mission impossible at the time.

Check this map of prewar Poland - green shows Ukrainian language use.

genocide means?

Yes, cultural genicide is what Polish colonisers were doing in Ukraine.
Do you even know what it means???
Also, do you even know the notion was invented by a Polish Jew?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_genocide

policy of forced assimilation towards the Ukrainian population

Exactly. Cultural genocide. Thank you for admitting it.

if there is a dispute.

Dispute?? AMaSSing attitude of nationalists like you to Polish prewar policy towards Ukrainians which was genocidal in nature - Ukrainian culture was to be eradicated and replaced with Polish one.
Is it a surprise that Ukrainian nationalists felt they had no other choice but to remove Polish colonisers in the most brutal way? Poles/Polesses had worked for such treatment for centuries of colonisation and polonisation of Western Ukraine.

ignore that post,

No, why??? :):):)

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [395]

with a selfless idea to grant them to Poland

Where did I say it????? :):):)

An interesting fact is that Rus peasants who weren`t Cossacks were called czerń - blacks.

pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czer%C5%84_(ruskie_ch%C5%82opstwo)
Cherń ( Ukrainian: чернь ) - a term coined in the 17th century to describe peasants who did not have the status of Cossacks and lived in the Dnieper Ukraine , i.e. the Bracław , Kiev and Chernihiv voivodeships of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth . Cherń was also referred to as peasants who took part in Cossack uprisings .

fake history.

That`s an attitude cherished not only by nationalist maniacs like Ironside but also by conservative Russophiles like Kania and millions of normal Poles/Polesses who suffer from Polish victim mentality syndrome. It means they only remember crimes and wrongdoing against the Polish nation by others, while at the same time they refuse to acknowledge the responsibility for Polish crimes. on others
Aren`t such Poles/ Polesses amaSSing???

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [395]

This thread contains a lot of useless off topic posts, while my primary intention was to focus on the history of Polish Ukrainian relations in order to explain why Poland should apologise to Ukraine for centuries of colonisation and polonisation.
.
So far I have managed to discuss the following:

post 20, 29 - Polish King`s conquest of Rus territory, including the capture of Kyiv in 11th cent.

post 33,34,125 - Polish further expansion onto Rus territory through the agency of the Duchy of Lithuania - 12-13th cent.

post 128 - Polish King`s annexation of Western Rus with Lviv in 14th cent

post 176, 190 - the first attempt of the Ukrainian people led by Cossacks to gain freedom from Poland in 17th cent. The rebellion was suppressed.

desecended from families

Of course, there were such families. Which doesn`t change the fact that Ukrainian families and their descendants who also lived in the area for centuries were much more numerous than Polish colonisers and eventually they demanded to live in an independent Ukraine. Poles/Polesses refused to acquiesce so they were massacred.
