Visit of an old friend: 2010

Ksenia Starosielska (Ксения Старосельская, 1937-2017) in front of an old tenement building in Łódź. Pani Starosielska, the greatest translator of Polish literature into Russian, visited Poland (to which she always referred to as "my Poland") for the "Dialogue of Four Cultures" festival. In the photo we see the Lady of the Order of Merit of Republic of Poland being observed with reverence by two dresiarze/gopniks standing in the gateway.

Mountain shrine: 2020

The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God is a liturgical celebration observed in the Catholic Church on January 1st. In the photo we see a group of pilgrims attending a Mass at the shrine on the John Paul II Peak. Groń of John Paul II is the only mountain peak in the world which was named in honour of the Polish Pope. Karol Wojtyła often hiked to the tops of Jaworzyna (the previous name of Groń) and Leskowiec, even as a bishop.

Do you find it funny?


So, you agree that Ukraine commited crime by murdering civilians in Belgorod?

News / Time to clean the swamp - dePiSification of Poland [298]


OK, let's assume - for the sake of argument - that there was such an episode of some NSZ soldiers, somewhere, drinking champagne with Germans.

On the other side you have prepared, systematic and orchestrated genocide of 100,000 people. WTF are you even comparing?

History / Cursed soldiers controvercy - not all Poles respect them [282]


There was no AK in 1946. Armia Krajowa was dissolved on 19th January 1945 by the order of its last commander General Leopold "Niedźwiadek" Okulicki. Those who didn't follow the dissolution order (like all soldiers should) and remained with weapons in the forests were bandits not AK anymore.

Nazi collaborators who killed general Kurt Renner and his staff officers, and helped to liquidate Franz Kutschera? Nazi collaborators who took part in Akcja "Burza" and Warsaw Uprising? :)

NSZ was extremely anti-German, but also anti-communist...

nsz.com.pl/o-nsz/

... and that's why communists, after the war, falsified history by accusing them of collaboration with nazis. I'm surprised that such an "anti-stalinist" like you repeats stalinist propaganda.

NSZ was basically Polish - not pro-German, not pro-Russian, just Polish. Of course, some of them - after the war - engaged into doubtful actions (also against civilians) but all in all it was a part of Polish patriotic underground during WW2.

But I can tell you which government considers him a national hero and builds his monuments.

Of course he is. A very accurate observation, Poloniusz!

Also, pawian is in a grandpa age, so when he talks about f*cking stalinist grandpas, he is actually talking about f*cking himself. hahaha haha

Life / Is Polish church involved in politics too much? [124]


Exactly. And it is not possible to bless a sin - something which Comrade Bergoglio seems to have forgotten. I can't think of any other Pope (maybe with the exception of John XXIII and his decision to call Vaticanum Secundum) who would introduce so much confusion and chaos into the Church's teaching.

... a classic, and pretty much a primer for first year students - definitely not enough to impress Amiga or Poloniusz. ;)

In one sense, you are right Atch - AI is software but I wouldn't say "just software". If we look at things like expert systems, neural networks or even simple generative/language models like Chat GPT, these things have potential to make our lives easier but can also, potentially, be quite dangerous if misused, so I wouldn't dismiss them with "oh, it's just another - a bit more complicated - 'Hello, World' program".

Just my two cents.

Well deserved rest: 1938

Roman Dmowski, one of the fathers of Polish independence, spent the final months of his life in a lovely country manor of Niklewicz family in Drozdowo near Łomża. In the photo we see him accompanied by Maria Niklewiczowa (a poet and author of children literature). Dmowski died on 2nd January 1939 and was spared the sight of Poland's fall.

Wooden gem: 1936

Wooden architecture dominated in the Polish countryside until XIX century. This traditional wooden manor (larch wood), in Rogów near Opatowiec, burnt down during WW2 and was never reconstructed.

Deluded IPN nonsense. When Jaruzelski was still alive he always said that the fabrication is repeated every year before 13th December but no matter how many times a lie is repeated, it doesn't become the truth. Read "Być może to ostatnie słowo", if you still can read in Polish, and think for yourself, if you still can.
