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

Thanks for input. I see you haven`t changed your views.

In 1917 Germans sent Lenin and his few accolades to tsarist Russia on a mission to ignite a bolshevik revolution and overthrow the Russian government. Lenin was successful in provoking the revolt which brought about incredible chaos in Russia. Thanks to it, one of major enemies of Poland was destabilised to such an extent that, together with Germany`s and Austria`s collapse, Poland was able to regain freedom.

Why did the Germans send Lenin back to Russia?

They sent Lenin back to Russia hoping that he would foment further revolutionary activity in Russia so that Russia would withdraw from fighting Germany in World War I. The February Revolution of 1917 had already taken place while Lenin was in Switzerland. Despite this revolution overthrowing the Tsar, the Provisional Government put in place of the Tsar was still committed to fighting Germany in the war. The Germans knew that most Russians wanted to end their involvement in the war, so the German High Command knew Lenin wanted Russia out of the war, so it sent Lenin back to Russia hoping he would lead another rebellion, take control and end Russia's hostilities with Germany. Lenin led the October Bolshevik Revolution and entered into the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with the Central Powers ending Russia's involvement in the war.

Life / "Hej Sokoly" - song research [11]


Tell you one thing - whenever we go on holidays and are staying near a disco or club, this fekking song is always a number one. When Poles hear it, they virtually go crazy and drą mordy like hell and smash the disco into small pieces.

That is why whenever I hear it I go mad.

In my childhood, my parents forced us (their kids) to go to the theatre with them. It was horrible. I remember we went to see the most boring plays, among them Biesy by Dostojewski.

Shyt, I am clever!:):):)

Or not?? :):):) I only googled: Polish black and white film, Satan, Heaven, Hell, angel. That`s all.


That is extremely interesting, I thought I knew every film made in Poland, at least by the title. Somehow, that one escaped me. I can`t believe it.


OK, let`s continue the topic of Satan and angels.

Hint: Made in 1990s.

Another hint: It was one of the first films on Divx CDs which I bought in a supermarket.

So far, so good.

The response of British true patriots is as it has been expected. Thanks, guys, for not disappointing me. :):):):)

An excellent Polish proverb comes to mind: Uderz w stół, a nożyce się odezwą. Strike the table and the scissors will resound.


Not only in Krakow.

In all worst-tourist rankings the British occupy the first places. Nations who host the British consider them loud, arrogant, sloven, always drunk and mean. Additionally, they don`t know any foreign languages, so they can`t communicate and commit multiple cultural blunders.
