Anniversary of Soviet Invasion [116]
The USSR
Hey, you won't hear me complaining about the USSR. Sure, Lwów and Wilno were Polish cultural centres but the areas around them were infested with banderites and samogitians. Untenable in the long run. We got Szczecin, Wrocław and Gdańsk in return--a brilliant deal! Improving our borders in the West was one in a 1000 years chance and thanks to dyadya Stalin we took it. If I was offered the same deal today I would take it again... and again, and again.
As much as many people will hate to admit, Poland after the war, with borders shifted West and ethnically uniform, was better than the one before. Ravaged by war, decimated and deeply hurt, but still better.
