Rogalin

Rogalin is primarily famous for its 18th-century baroque palace of the Raczyński family, and the adjacent Raczyński Art Gallery, housing a permanent exhibition of Polish and international paintings (including Paul Delaroche and Claude Monet and the famous Jan Matejko's large-scale painting Joanna d'Arc, see a fragment below). The gallery was started by Edward Aleksander Raczyński. Rogalin is also known for its putatively 1000-year-old oak trees (Polish: Dęby Rogalińskie) on the banks of the Warta.

History / What do Poles owe to Germans? [451]

Most probably. :):):):)

Hey, it is not fair! In other "owe" threads we present famous Poles of non-Polish origin.



en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zyndram_of_Maszkowice

In 1409, Zyndram was called to arms by king Władysław II Jagiełło to take part in his offensive against the Teutons. During the famous Battle of Grunwald of 1410, Zyndram was the Grand Camp Leader of the Crown and commander of the Banner of Kraków, composed of elite troops and holding the banner of the whole army. According to Historiæ Polonicæ by Ioannes Longinus, it was the unit commanded by Zyndram that killed the Teutonic commander, Ulrich von Jungingen.

A number of polonised Germans defended Poland in 1939 against Nazi and Soviet aggression:
Józef Unrug

Unrug was born in Brandenburg an der Havel into the Germanized family of Tadeusz Unrug, a major-general in the Prussian Army. After graduating from gymnasium in Dresden, Unrug completed Navy School in 1907 and began service in the German Navy. During World War I he commanded a U-boat, earning promotion to the command of a submarine flotilla.

After Poland regained independence, Unrug left Germany and volunteered for the Polish Army. .

History / Life in communist Poland - personal relations [503]

One of the characteristics of the communist system was TV coverage of long speeches by communist leaders. On average, they could last for 2 hours in Poland, in other countries like Romania, East Germany about 4, in Cuba even 7!

Here, hardened communist Gomułka delivers a speech on 1 May, Labour Day, one of most important festivals at the time, in 1960s. Gomułka`s speeches were exceptionally revolting due to linguistic peculiarities and unusual intonation. Yes, he was Polish but a complete simpleton.

Comrades and citizens!!


In 1980s many speeches were made by communists in uniforms:

Life / Poland's concord of cultures [86]


Yes, I know what you mean:





Exactly: Wonderful concord! Both Poles and Brits are reluctant to eat horse meat and treat it as taboo.

The thesis in this article about British fully pertain to Poles.

bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21043368

There is no real logic as to why plenty of Britons are perfectly willing to eat cows, pigs, and chickens, but see horses as taboo, according to Dr Roger Mugford, an animal psychologist who runs the Animal Behaviour Centre.

- I'm a farmer and there is an irony. Why are horses different from pigs and lambs?; he says.
Part of the reason is people frequently see horses as pets, and humans tend to put extra qualities and values; on animals they call pets, he says.



Oops, instead of great English cavalry, I posted some silly French one.

It seems our nations have another thing in common: reluctance to clean after your dog!!
That is why they need to be constantly reminded:

Poles have always given way to ambulances, even breaking rules if necessary. Like everywhere in Europe. That is why I was immensely surprised reading Russian comments about youtube films in which they express regret such custom doesn`t exist in Russia.
