News / Poland has accepted over a million Ukrainian refugees. Why does the EU keep telling propaganda about Poland? [304]
let`s not, dobri brate, mix issue of Katyn and Iraq (with all due respect on Iraq). Katyn was very sad internal Slavic thing. Reason for historical dispute between Poles and Russians. One of those things that set Poland on direction of servitude to western Europe, because Poland was hit hard from the East and forced to turn to West. See, Katyn is issue that hostile non-Slavs heavily exploit. Whenever Poland show some initiative, they remind Poles of Katyn and then anti-Russian feelings get wings. I think Russia should show more empathy for Katyn victims.
Sure, I know, Russians aren`t same as Soviets. Communism itself was by western Europe planted in Russia. Stalin wasn`t Russian but biggest murderer of Russians. True, all true.
But, in sense of statehood, Russia claim continuity with Soviet Union, so Russia also must claim responsibility. And after all, some ethnic Russians did took part in events in Katyn no matter that communist leader who ordered massacre wasn`t Russian.
You are quite right here.
stop bitching about Katyn,will you?

I mentioned Katyn only to suggest that what the Russians did there can serve to explain the historical animosity Poles can feel towards Russia.
