Famous Russian Poles [243]
You know some of them I gather?
Yes, I do.
But I'm
much more than a standard European lol.
Most of them enjoyed some local popularity in der DDR only.
Jurek Becker was Polish Jew from Lodz.
Do you really believe Krug, Biermann, Masur were some top names of the international show business ?
But you made my day putting Sigmund Jähn on your list.
So, why not Baron von Münchhausen ?
He was even named a cornet in the Russian army lol.
The true is that occupied country like East-Germany had
absolutely no chance to develop its own culture or R&D.
You were from definition underachievers in science and art.
Exactly the same goes for Poland's l
ast 250 years - most important period of the modern civilization.
Take it for granted being under brutal occupation of the barbaric neighbors (Prussia and Russia), with all universities closed, scientists murdered or sent to Siberia is not the optimal environment for the blossoming culture and science.
