You have no proof that Poles weren't funny before the RuSSian occupation :)
Rather "habitual". Such women usually come from homes where there was violence - directed at them or their mother or their siblings. They simply don't know anything better (and it's even possible they think they don't deserve anything better):

Obviously those women "don't like it". But that's the only life they know. They're damaged and they need some serious therapy.

Russian occupation was good for Poland in at least one aspect - they became funny.

A woman can be hurt only once by a guy. The second time, it's consensual.

True. That part is unofficial, but there's more info here that probably may say more about him:

Half an hour after the rape he went shopping and according to the shop assistant he behaved as if nothing happened...
Also, he lived with his girlfriend and according to the neighbours arguments and shouts started when he moved in (info from another article). According to the neighbours, judging by the sounds coming from their flat, he was hitting her.
Jesus...
According to the police he was surprised that they found him.
It's fine to have an interest in crimes and detection however there is to be a way to pick up on people earlier.

Judging by what I found in other articles - he was convicted before for theft and possession of drugs. According to unofficial information the police found articles about sexual crimes and books about serial killers at his place.
This is an extreme crime for a first offense (if it is... have their been reports that he 'known to the police' as they say?)

Life / Grisly crimes in Poland [121]
It didn't have to have anything to do with drugs... There are psychos out there who are rapists, serial killers, etc. as I'm sure you're aware...
She was an orphan, btw - her parents had their parental rights taken away from what I've read. How much bad luck can you get in life... Jesus...
What adds to the tragedy and makes me feel sick to the stomach is that people literally walked by, saw what's going on and didn't help her - they didn't even call the police. The CCTV recording has shown two women walking by the gate when the rape was taking place and they stopped for a moment. From what I've read they went to the police only after the news of the rape broke out. They testified that they didn't realise a crime was taking place - they thought that it was a couple of homeless people having sex and "taking it too far" and when they stopped the man told them to leave in "a vulgar manner".
The thing is - having sex in public is illegal in Poland. If they called the police - they could've saved her life :(((
So, the conclusion is - you can get raped and killed in plain sight in Poland and noone will help you. That's the reality.
Look at the pathology in the comments under this article:
o2.pl/informacje/brutalny-gwalt-i-zabojstwo-lizy-w-centrum-warszawy-dlaczego-nikt-nie-zareagowal-dramatyczny-apel-psychologa-7002597804071488a
One man wrote that you'd have to take a leave from work for one day in order to testify at the police station and that's why people don't call the police o_O Who cares that a human being is getting raped and killed... Taking a leave from work for a day - now that's a serious "bother" in comparison... 😢
Btw, I know this mentality very well, because I've experienced this kind of indifference and inaction in Kielce (so not such a big city like Warsaw) more than once. One time I talked a woman into staying and waiting for the police, because she witnessed how a car drove into a teenage girl when she was crossing the street. The woman saw that the girl had a green light as a pedestrian and I thought that was an important information. She wanted to go home, because she thought it would be a bother - that she would have to testify in the court and such. So I stayed with her until the police came (the girl was already taken to the hospital by an ambulance). The police didn't seem to be doing their job either - a police car stopped near the sight of the accident and they just sat in the car. Me, the witness and two other women were waiting nearby for them to come out and ask some questions, but they didn't. So I finally lost my patience, went over to them and told them that this lady saw everything. They went out of the car and I left only when they started talking to the witness.
It's plainly written here in this article that he's a Pole and a resident of Warsaw:

I agree.
I suspect drugs played a role though I'm not sure what drugs can unleash such violence...
It didn't have to have anything to do with drugs... There are psychos out there who are rapists, serial killers, etc. as I'm sure you're aware...
Yes, such an appalling tragedy,. A Belarussian woman came to Poland for better life and got murdered by a Polish garbage. :(:(:(:(

:(((
lol
Sorry, I know that an autopsy needs to be done, but this fragment made me "lol" nevertheless...
This reminded me of a case that happened some years ago in my city. A girl/young woman entered a staircase in a block of flats. A man entered right after her and grabbed her from behind. She struggled and fortunately managed to escape. Everything got filmed by a CCTV camera (the video was posted in the article or shown on TV), but I haven't heard about the police finding him. I was in awe of this girl, because that was a young, tall, well-built man, so I can imagine he was strong (he didn't have a knife though). I even remember thinking "Why a man like that would want to rape a woman? He shouldn't have problems with attracting women." As I googled for it now - it turned out there were similar cases in Kielce at that time:
echodnia.eu/swietokrzyskie/kolejny-seksualny-atak-w-klatce-schodowej-w-centrum-kielc-ten-mezczyzna-jest-poszukiwany-video/ar/8496138
The patient died today before noon.
:(((
if the result confirms that the woman died as a result of a brutal attack

It is a judgement. Besides judging a whole generation, clearly, you're also judging an individual that you don't even know.
Maybe she can, maybe she can't. You don't know her. But that's not the issue here - if she has the right to get something from her biological father, then why wouldn't she? She didn't invent this law. This law is there for a reason.
It doesn't matter. Her father IS Polish and so I guess the Polish law applies. And that's why she can and has the right to ask this question.
That's not really a judgement, Paulina.

It's only because of the family support law in Poland that the question even arises. I wonder what she would do if she were a Brit?

Stalin was dead right. 86 years later and I just found out about the largest eradication of "riff-raff" during the Great Purge.

Yes, surveys would be much better. Especially taking into consideration all those troll farms and informatorom war on the internet.
I don't have the time to read all the comments right now, but judging by that first page that I've read - Ukrainians are angry, because of the situation with grain at the border. And their anger is understandable. That doesn't make them "anti-Polish".
Not really. In my case - not primarily.
Do you want me to hire Nielsen and Gallup, so they could do an independent survey for you?

Sure, but I doubt that even Poles (=Polish women) clean it so thoroughly (as in - bother to remove the seat) before Christmas - there's simply usually no time for such thorough cleaning.
Btw, I'm a perfectionist too and so I have ways of getting into all kinds of nooks and crannies ;) ✨
Well, I've guessed it, didn't I... :) And there are only two Polish women on this forum, so... lol
You only wrote about Christmas though, so just like Feniks I thought that you were maybe writing about some kind of obscure Christmas tradition in your region.
I'm familiar with the expression "świąteczne porządki" (holiday cleaning), but I associate "wiosenne porządki" (spring cleaning) with a more thorough cleaning.
coz the urine drops splash all over the place when you pee and get into all nooks and crannies and stay there causing bad smell so you need to clean everything thoroughly !!!!
