Exactly!!!


Wrong association!!! Liver derives from life. Anything that sits on the liver suggests acute life problems.

History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [345]

Crazy but still sane enough to do my job - contain revisionism in this part of Europe.

History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [345]


Neither. Poles/Polesses dropped their revisionism decades ago. And we will do our best to make others drop it too. I am talking about imperial Russians and hyena Hungarians.
If Slovak losers want to join in , they are welcome. But after main events,. they`d better not organise another Slovak Rising which will last 2 hours, like the previous one.

A joke from my youth - what is the difference between the Slovak Rising and the film about it???
The film is 10 minutes longer. hahahaha

History / Russian Greatness - and its Polish Contributors [77]

In another thread I clashed with certain Am Polonia member over Katyń massacre in which 22.000 Polish military and police were executed by Soviet NKVD..

It is worth mentioning that Soviet Russians spared a Polish general who as a young man fought against Japanese at the battle of Tsushima 1905 and became a hero awarded by the tsar with a high distinction for his bravery.

Jerzy Wołkowicki
In the years 1901-1904 he was a student of the Marine Corps in St. Petersburg . From 1904 he served in the rank of midshipman on the battleship " Imperator Nikolai I ", a unit of Admiral Nikolai Nebogatov 's squadron , which was part of the Baltic Fleet , and later the III Pacific Squadron. He took part in a cruise around Africa to help the besieged Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War of 1905 , which ended in defeat in the Battle of Tsushima.

Many Poles serving in the Russian fleet took part in the battle, including Jerzy Wołkowicki, who later became a general of the Polish Army. In 1905, he held the rank of michman ( ensign ) . During a meeting with Admiral Nikolai Nebogatov, he and other junior officers opposed the capitulation of the remnants of the Russian Fleet. He uttered the words: fight to the end, and then blow up the ship and save yourself. For his stance, he was awarded the Order of St. George . He became a national hero of Russia. This was described by the famous seaman Novikov-Priboy in his novel Tsushima . The general's fame survived the tsarist regime and probably saved him from being murdered in Katyn in 1940.

Life / Mishmash facts about Poland and Poles [182]


Stop lying. They were offered one way "passports" aka travel pass with no-return option. If they stayed in Poland, they would be persecuted like in tsarist times. Pogroms on Polish Jews/Jewesses which ethnic Poles/Polesses organised right after WW2 were old Russian invention.


Yes, they had a choice between living in free world and a pogrom atmosphere existence.

They ran away from Poland though Polish army was still gallantly fighting against Germans and Soviets! They were traitors.


Stop lying as usual. The chief commander of the Polish Army decreed on 17 Sep 1939 after Soviets invaded in the East:

The Soviets have entered. I order a general withdrawal to Romania and Hungary by the shortest routes. Do not fight the Bolsheviks..........,

Life / Polish grandma`s advice on life and food [30]

Mr Makłowicz, a culinary gourmet expert, recommends beer as an unusual marinade. Instead of the traditional milk, the journalist marinates the fish in light beer, which makes the meat more aromatic and exceptionally tasty.

To achieve the optimal effect, remember to marinate for several hours - that's how much time must pass for the fish to soak in the attractive flavors.

Food / Polish Christmas Eve Dinner recipes [84]

Mushroom patties with fish liver and poppy seed rolls

Ćwierczakiewiczowa writes in her "365 Dinners": "mushroom pates are most often served on Christmas Eve, and then you can mix fish livers, ground into a pulp, with the mushrooms. Boil young, good dried mushrooms and chop them into a mass; take a spoonful of butter, throw in, and when it boils, chop the onion, fry."

"Then add the mushrooms, a few spoons of cream, fish liver if there is any, a little pepper, salt, a handful of breadcrumbs; mix over the heat to thicken, and arrange on pancakes made of puff or butter pastry, cover with another pancake, brush with egg and place in a hot oven, covering the top with paper."

Soviets captured a few hundred thousand Polish military in the east. Those Jewish officers were decent and went with their soldiers into capticity.
It wasn`t their fault that the rightist gov of Poland had ordered them to refrain from fighting the Red Army. They only obeyed orders coz they were soldiers.
