Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 26 [1183]
It's weird the way people try to excuse North Nigerian debauchery and theft
There's a history to this, too :)
People love Russian debauchery and wildness - even if they don't want to admit to themselves.
A good period to focus on, if you want, is the period of Russian occupation in Paris after the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars. Lots of simultaneous disgust and curiosity from the side of the Parisians.

Reading today, Mickiewicz's poem - "Do przyjaciół Moskali".
Important for modern Poles and modern Russians to read.
Here, you can see Mickiewicz - Poland's greatest son - speaking to Russians as brothers. He's angry, he's bitter, there is betrayal in his voice - but he still speaks to brothers, in brotherly language. He calls them to conscience, not with the detachment of an anthropologist, but with the urgency of a priest.
He plays the notes that he knows exactly will be the most painful for a Russian.
So... then... if Mickiewicz can talk to Russians as a brother - what prevents a Korvinus or an Alien from doing the same?
