Oh dear...i don,t know how to break this to you gently...but dear old Comrade Lenin is dead , has been for some time...Also communism has kinda fallen out of favour too , so there is not much in the way of celebration of the revolution and stuff...
However , the Russians love their traditions , so there is often some kind of event going on at my ladies school...As well as being a teacher of Russian language , she also teaches Russian culture...
The school is a music school , for really gifted children , so most of the events tend to centre around some famous composer or musician...
Sorry to break the news about Lenin , but he had been ill for some time i think....

Yep..having a good thick tow rope is always a good idea , even if your car is not capable of towing another car it is a good idea to have a rope , just in case somebody stops to help you when you are stuck , and they don,t have a rope....
Snow chains are a great idea in countries where you have a thick layer of snow for months on end , in fact in such countries they are compulsary , but in Poland you are more likely to get short periods of snow deep enough to need chains , and even then its likely to be in patches , and some roads will be clear of snow especially in town...I have yet to find any snow chains that are really easy to fit , and most people are not going to want to be messing around constantly fitting and removing snow chains as the conditions change...If you leave the chains on when you reach clear tarmac they make a horrid racket , and wear out really quickly...Some old sacking can be carried in the car to put under the wheels to get you moving if you are stuck , tie it to your car with a long bit of string so you don,t have to stop to pick it up when you get moving , you can stop later when you are on a better surface....If you have the room carry a long handled shovel for clearing the snow from under your wheels....Drive in the highest gear your car will pull in , and leave much more room between you and the car in front...Brakes throttle and steering should be used very gently....
take rope and chains.

How your journey goes depends on lots of factors that i can only guess at , but i will have a go...
I have done the journey to Polska several times in the winter , one time the weather was ok , the other two times it was not...
Lets assume the weather is going to be really terrible , my first bit of advice will be to stay at home , and don,t drive in it , but if you really need to make such a journey then the first thing you need to do is check the weather reports , so you know in advance what you are heading into...
The second thing to consider is your vehicle , some are good on snow , some are hopeless...A car with the engine at the front , and the driving wheels at the back will be a bit hopeless on snow , a front wheel drive car will be much better on snow , the best thing of course is a car that has four wheel drive... Having winter tyres is a good idea , but if the road is covered with ice no tyre is going to work unless it has steel spikes in it....
You have to bear in mind that even if you have four wheel drive and snow tyres you are going to be stuck if the road is blocked by other cars that don,t have four wheel drive , you can,t drive over over the top of them , its not legal...!
You need to carry enough stuff in the car to cope with spending the night in it in freezing conditions if the worst comes to the worst , having kids makes this a little more difficult , but its better to be prepared rather than suffer if you get stuck... I have a four wheel drive vehicle , and have a lot of experiance of driving in very bad conditions , but i still carry enough gear on board in the winter to survive a night in the car , cars do break down sometimes....
Whatever car you decide to make the journey in , its important to make sure its well serviced , and up to making the journey , setting off with a battery thats past its best , or a slipping fan belt is just asking for trouble...
Last of all...have you driven on snow and ice before...? It requires a different style of driving if you are to avoid sliding into the scenery , if you can practice your driving on snow before you make the journey thats great , if not , at least check out any info you can find on snow driving.....
There is every possibility your journey will be smooth and uneventfull , especially if you have prepared well , but there is no harm in talking a few precautions to deal with problems if they arise....
I wish you a safe journey...have a good time in Polska....
