Read this debate... In moment when Americans will leave this part of europe ... Poland left in imaginative partnership with Germany is going to have problems. Germans are closer in their policies to Russia and it is not possible to be more importnant partner for Germans than Russians are.

What is more it is possible to be closer partner for Russians than Germans are ...

History / Kashubians are nation in Poland? [124]

Why my post about Kashubain opinion has been delated :

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_minorities_in_Poland

INTEREG estimated there are up to 500,000 Kashubians in Poland.[citation needed] In the Polish census of 2002, however, only 5,100 people declared Kashubian nationality, although 51,000 declared Kashubian as their native language

They conisder themselves Polish.

History / Kashubians are nation in Poland? [124]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wielka_Pia%C5%9Bnica

In the forest next to the village during World War II, German Schutzstaffel executed about 12,000 people, mainly Polish and Kashubian intelligentsia from Gdańsk Pomerania.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stutthof_concentration_camp

The first inmates imprisoned on 2 September 1939 were 150 Polish citizens, arrested on the streets of Gdańsk right after the outbreak of the war. The inmate population rose to 6,000 in the following two weeks, on 15 September 1939.

Yes it is very complicated as pro-Polish Silesian uprings : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silesian_Uprisings

I leave it up to the people, let them be whoever they feel to be.

I agree.

They wouldn't if the borders had stayed as they were!

Antoni Abraham (1869-1923) Kashubian representative to the Versailles Treaty, political activist and proponent of Polish Kashubia

Florian Ceynowa had different opinion :

In the XIXth century the Kashubian activist Florian Ceynowa undertook efforts to identitfy Kashubian language, culture and traditions. He awakened Kashubian self-identity He believed in a separate Kashubian identity and strove for a Russian-led pan-Slavic federacy.He considered Poles "born brothers"

Of course they had...it wasn't Kashubians (mostly) who killed Poles later!

When I was talking about Poles killed I've been talking about Kashubs.

Life / Famous Polish people (that we have actually heard of) [231]

I don't care about your book.

Roman Zaleski donates Polish National Liblary in Paris - one of the biggest Polish cultural institutions in foreign country.

bibliotheque-polonaise-paris-shlp.fr

He bought for Wawel Castle and Warsaw Castle some new exponats just to make this colections richer ... Even he was ethnic French he would be Pole for me.

Travel / Castles and Palaces in Poland (with pictures) [155]

Now something about history of Polish palaces in former eastern Poland ... today Ukraine or Belarus.

Most of them are devastated so I don't know why they have stolen them ... in some they hold potatoes, cows ...

Anny way they played enormous role in resistance against Rusyfication of Polish population under Russian partition. It was the best argument against pan-Slavists from east as long as non Poles in surrounding grounds weren't able to build such

Some remains of old Polish history are still there :





Here we have interesting conection of two different styles:

Small Polish palace and Socrealistic Belrusian monument.

History / Famous Russian Poles [243]

His ancestors must have been of Ruthenian szlachta origin (that is Ukrainians or Belorussians).

Well, you can't find more Polish name than Sikorski ....moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/sikorski.html

This name isn't polonisated version of Ruthenian name ... some Poles were simple moving on east ...
