History / Historic Photos about Poland with Context [28]

I have always been fascinated with those workers who were sitting on the wall of their Gdańsk shipyard while on Solidarity strike in 1980 - as a youngster, I feared they might fall off and get hurt. I saw them in photos and films.
One banner says: Solidarity and equality for the whole nation

Life / Do you collect mushrooms in your country? Poles in Poland do. [79]

Mushroom hunting can end with disastrous effects. Everybody must watch out when in the forest!!!

Here is tragic news about certain guy who paid a high price for his carelessness.

The incident occurred on Friday morning in the town of Rudno in the Lublin province. A 49-year-old resident of the Milanów commune went for a bike ride to a nearby forest to pick mushrooms. His ride quickly raised the suspicions of an approaching police patrol. The officers decided to conduct a routine check, during which they checked the 49-year-old's sobriety.

A breathalyzer test showed that the man was under the influence of alcohol . In connection with the applicable regulations, he was fined PLN 2,500. The cyclist was also banned from continuing the ride and agreed to return home on foot.

Less than an hour after the first stop, the police noticed that the man was riding a bike again. Another check showed an even higher level of alcohol in his blood - the 49-year-old had over a per mille in his blood. The police issued two more tickets. One for riding under the influence of alcohol in the amount of PLN 2.5 thousand and the second - PLN 500 for failing to comply with the orders of the services.
Total: PLN 5,500.

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [337]


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!!!!!!


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


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.

Not really coz I have just noticed that Ron2 had already mentioned Oj Dana before - No 4.


Yes, I do but parts of the lyrics are indecent and I am not allowed to write such stuff in the forum as a teacher.

You can find it on your own: Just google: Jedzie Arab jedzie.

Love / Moadana love - wedding song [23]


Dana is the word which in Polish suggests dancing. Hey/Oy dana dana means Let`s dance! or Everybody`s dancing!

Maidana may mean: I am dancing now so follow me!

It is also possible that you wrongly remember My dana while it actually was Oy dana.

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [337]


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.
