News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [870]

Polish Foreign Minister is getting impatient. He called on a European Union foreign minister to help Poland retrieve the plane wreckage from Russians.

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said Monday he asked EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton to formally raise the issue with Russia next week, at an EU-Russia summit in Brussels, concerning the return of the wreckage of the plane that crashed in Russia in 2010, killing President Lech Kaczynski and 95 others.

Since then Russia has failed to return the wreckage. Sikorski said he raised the issue last week with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov but did not get any information from him on when the wreckage might be returned.

Russian Foreign Minister met Sikorski and promised the return but didn`t set any dates:

History / The restoration of Polish cities from WW2 destruction [123]

Germany and England did not reconstruct their historical centres.

Interesting.

Even Coventry wasn`t reconstructed?

Itr seems it wasn`t.

Following the raids, the majority of Coventry's historic buildings could not be saved as they were in ruinous states or were deemed unsafe for any future use, although several were later demolished simply to make way for modern developments which saw the city centre's buildings and road infrastructure almost completely altered by 1970.

t's tasty(for me) but usually not visually atractive.

Everything can be made to look tasty or disgusting.

It all depends on how much effort the cook puts into the attractive arrangement of the plate`s content and its immediate vicinity, e.g.,

Czy taki związek ma szansę?

Nie ma uniwersalnej recepty na bycie szczęśliwym w życiu. Niestety. Każdy związek jest inny.

Pamiętam że na początku mówiłem moim znajomym że mam anioła w domu.
Dopiero po kilku latach parę rzeczy zaczęło mi przeszkadzać. Ale zwalczyłem to.

Are you sure about this? Freepl.info is notorious for making up stuff.

Yes, I know but I gave their link as the best English translation of the matter.

Polish sites are full of that.

Corpses exhumed March 19 is definitely body Przemyslaw Gosiewski - says on the air RMF FM Lawyer Attorney , Agent some families of victims of the Smolensk air crash . - On the basis of many of the physical characteristics , as well as others - even diseases that have been identified , in my opinion certainly is Gosiewski - provides lawyer .

Rogalski ensures that all the doubts that had a wife Gosyevski on the question of whether the grave of her husband buried his corpse in fact , have been allayed. And the fact that the Russians in the wrong way described at the time of the autopsy height and weight of the late Mr Law and Justice Lawyer explains " negligence " of Russian doctors.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [870]

Dear Russian friends, why are you doing it to us?

A few weeks ago we learnt that bodies of two female victims of the crash were swapped into each other`s coffins.

https://polishforums.com/news/rest-peace-anna-walentynowicz-62099/

Still earlier, after the first exhumations, we had learnt that bodies which had been still in good shape were not dressed in garment provided by families. That pieces of soil, various rubbish as well as rubber gloves were not only inside coffins but also sewn inside bodies. Also, medical documents were falsified.

freepl.info/1977-autopsies-smolensk-victims-bodies-undermine-russian-version

Today, we are learning that one of Russian blog sites has published drastic photos from the crash site in Smoleńsk and Moscow morgue.

Gruesome photos of Smolensk published one of Russian bloggers portal " livejournal " . In the text accompanying the photographs the author suggests that the tragedy of April 10, 2010 was staged , a Tupolev passenger were killed .

Come on, Russians. It is not the way people should behave in civilised countries. If you demand to be treated with respect by others, as one of your national characteristic goes, you must stop behaving like fekking cattle and start acting like cultural people. Otherwise, you will be always considered Euroasian barbarians from the East. Is that what you want?

Sorry, friends, I am really pisssed off now.

What's odd to me is why people pay ridiculous amounts to go to the seaside in Poland when you go somewhere much warmer for the same price...

Nope, delph, it is a myth that you can go somewhere warmer than the Baltic seaside for the same price in high season. It can be true for September or October, though.

History / Battle of Vienna - history movie about Poland / Commemoration [36]

It is. 1920 is at least a real movie while 1683 is mostly animation.

Another revies says that the film is unbelievable crap, and sets a new record in the category of worst films ever.

If the " work" of this caliber , what movie Renzo Martinelli made ​​a Polish film director, not obyłoby without a public lynching . Because to say that the "Battle of Vienna" is a bad film , it does not say anything . Such a dose of kitsch and obłąkańczych unimaginable creator's vision will not find in memory.

120 days of shooting , 250 crew members from 11 countries , 10,000 extras and ... a total fiasco . The fact that the well is not already informed trailers, but that 's not so bad , can be seen only after seeing the whole. "Battle of Vienna" - Italian- Polish - Turkish co-production for 50 million zł (approximately 12.5 million) this oddity so unusual that in order to fully assess the size you need , unfortunately, to see them. Otherwise hard to believe.

I would accept any decision of my wife after she has learnt about damaged feotes. Be it abortion or keeping the baby, I have nothing to say on the matter. It is women`s belly and final decision.

pawian: Even in urban districts considered dangerous you can walk at night and nothing happens.

Still plenty of dodgy places in Polish cities though. But I agree, I don't think there's anywhere which compares with our inner-cities or peripheral estates.

Nice of you to agree.

8. It's much easier to go away on holidays. For example just to go to one of the Islands in Scotland for the weekend would cost me about £500, in Poland I could drive and stay in a hotel for a week for the same amount of money).

Does it mean an average Brit can`t afford going on longer vacation, e.g., one month, even within the UK???

History / Battle of Vienna - history movie about Poland / Commemoration [36]

The wave of garbage "patriotic" films at the minute is really depressing, especially considering the amount of talent that Poland has produced throughout the years.

But the film isn`t Polish production. There are a few Polish actors in it, that`s all. It seems an Italian venture, the director is Italian.

PS. The reviewer`s rating: 0/10 :):):):)

History / Battle of Vienna - history movie about Poland / Commemoration [36]

Sorry, guys, I have bad news for you. It is another crap, even worse than 1920 Battle of Warsaw.

The reviewer is relentless- the film doesn`t even meet TV standards for so many reasons I can`t enumarate them all, but you can read about them here:

One of them is low-budget special effects -e.g., the animated charge of Polish winged riders resembles a cheap PC game.

Do you think it implies allusion to our times?

Funny, I guessed correctly, the film carries a strong political message after all, among others its English title is September 11 1683, while the actual battle took place on 12 Sep.
