Would anyone in eastern Russia be aware of their Polish heritage out of the people who were transported from Poland over the centuries?

History has it that over 300,000 + mixed mongol/european polish childern were born. There was much debate at the time about what to do with them (due to the trauma involving their birth). The Polish Church begged the population to accept them, because they were sinless children and the population had been decimated due to the invasions. This was

In that case, America can take back the millions of Colorado beetle it dropped on Poland in the 1960s to destroy Poland's potato crops - or perhaps just nuke 'em with their missiles.

History / Polish historical myths - to break or not to break them? [257]
God talk about myths, the British were the first ones to abolish slavery and they even went as far as confiscating American slave cargo, so the silly yanks hid themselves under different flags. So sorry to break your myth about the land of the free, but the yanks, out of the civilized countries were one of the last to abolish slavery.
And yes its Americans who almost caused the extinction of the natives, not the Brits, so let go of your myth.

Language / Your perception of the Polish accent [145]
I can assure that is most certainly not the case, the similarity between Polish and Russian is probably less than German and Dutch.
But if you're a native in Russian, for instance, you can even manage with a Pole, Croatian etc. (most of the time they only have political reasons not to do so).

Life / SOME OBSERVATIONS ABOUT POLAND AND POLISH SOCIETY [297]
Ah Seanus, i would hate to poke holes in your historical knowledge, but at one stage Poland an overwhelmingly catholic country, had a protestant majority of parliamentarians, at a time when Catholics were not even allowed to sit in the British parliament. As Jan Kazimiersz (king) said when urged to be more draconian by one of his advisers, I am not the king of People's consciousness
It's easy to enact a law of religious toleration when you have only really had one in your country ;) ;) ;)

Ok, earlier you made some observations about Polish religion, are you aware the Poland had the first law of religious toleration in Europe? This allowed different nationalities to flee to Poland during the 30 years war. The things that I am mentioning are fundamental to western civilization, or would you disagree?
so where is modernity of constitution and ministry of education. probably just on papers and in attractive looking shelves. isnt it

ease accept the fact that except for white skins Poles have nothing else common which can bring them at par with Western Civilized Society. Discrimination with coloured skin is too much evident in every day life even in Warsaw what to talk of small cities and villages. Experience this in the streets and in public transport of warsaw.

History / Poles as Iroquois of Europe [42]
Given the cannibalistic tendencies of the Prussian sate I think the comparison works better in reverse:)
The Iroquois were noted as fierce warriors but cannibalistic The would eat the body parts of the defeated Indian warriors. They'd make a feast out of it. I don't quite understand what Bismarck meant when comparing the Polish to the Iroquois.

BS there were Polish Germans or Germano-Poles fighting for Poland against the Nazis and nobody did anything to expel them.
The Germans expelled from the western regions were expelled for political reasons as well as desperation, as there were millions of eastern Poles who were expelled from what is now the Ukraine and Belorussia and they needed a place to stay.
It's true though Poland did everything to expell their Germans

Neither of these: Gilbert Keith Chesterton (29 May 1874 - 14 June 1936) was an English writer. His prolific and diverse output included philosophy, ontology, poetry, play writing, journalism, public lecturing and debating, biography, Christian apologetics, fantasy and detective fiction.
Above all these he was a man with a strong Christian conscience, that is why he abhorred Bolshevik barbarity and atheism and liked Poland.
Who is mister Chesterton? Is he the living or dead Prophet or Karl Marx or may be he is infalliable pope? Why we should take all this crap about suffering but undefeated poland in all good faith?

Again the invasion force was only 10.000 strong and only concentrated in the south of Poland, so it is highly unlikely that they could have left any significant imprint on the population.
hen the Tatars raped and pilaged their way through Poland, children were conceived. These children were raised as Polish. Many Poles have a bit of Asian blood in them.
