Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

Very interesting my grandfather was born in Gniezno his father (my great grandfather) was full Polish his surname was Mackowiak (also my surname) My grandfathers mother was also born in Gniezno in 1900 but her family came from the east of Poland. Seems like she was Ukrainian her family names were Pawluk, Sobolewski And Koziarski.

And my grandmother is Belorussian ;p

News / Does Poland support the idea of Slavic unity? [142]

I am a strong supporter of one Slavic nation with modern day Slavic countries as states within one Slavic nation whose unique languages and culture/ religion are protected. In the end we are all are the same people.

Why? I think Piłsudski had the right idea.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Międzymorze

The only difference is that Russia and Yugoslavia and ALL Slavs would be apart of this unity

Science had shown that all Slavs are apart of the one people this has been proven by genetics. I suggest you both do some reasearch.

The core foundation of DNA in Slavic counties is the same with little admixture from neighbouring countries and people's.
No person on earth is 100% anything. But ALL Slavic people have common ancestry.
R1a is an example maybe you should google it

News / Does Poland support the idea of Slavic unity? [142]

Well I can assure you the idea of Slavic unity is very much alive in Poland as many people who support a Slavic union come from Poland or are of polish ethnicity. One of the most famous Polish heros himself (Pilsudski) supported partial Slavic unity.

Science does not lie. You may not wish to believe that Slavic people are all related but that's the fact, we are all apart of one people who speak different dialects one common ancient Slavic language and who's culture are only regionally different.

The future of Slavic people does not lie in the west but in the slavic east. Do yourself a favour google Slavic DNA in Polish and read what Polish geneticists say, because a fact is a fact .

Poles are Slavic people with a Slavic culture and traditions same with All other Slavs we are the same people
Some Slavic people are more related to other Slavic peoples and some are less related due to admixture with other peoples example Yugoslavs but in the end we are ALL Slavic in origin, languauge, culture and ethnically.

History / Do Polish people in general dislike Russia or Germany more? [369]

One example is the forced Polanisation of the non polish population in then polish occupied Ruthenia and Lithuania.Forcing non polish people to learn polish at school and converting orthodox Christian churches to catholic ones. I find it funny that a lot of 'polish' heros are actually from polanized Lithuanian, Belarusian/ Ukrainian ethnicity example Tadeusz Kosciusko and Józef Piłsudski.

Russian language is more dominate because it's the most spoken Slavic language and many Slavic people have full or some knowledge of it. But you would have elections and all those questions would be answered with free voting but Russian would be great inter Slavic language in my view.

I've come to realise that most people on this site are Americans with a partial polish background so I can't get a real Polish from Poland view because most Americans are brainwashed.

Hitler was an idiot your right
Slavic unity has nothing to do with murdering people. I'm amazed how anti Slavic polaks are... Well polaks outside of Poland anyway. Lucky Poland has limited influence in Slavic Europe and the world.

Of course I will be in Poland again ( I have been a couple of times before) I don't expect Slavic unity to be supported by the majority of Polish people but I am sure it has a strong following and will continue to grow in the near future once the euro collapses. I'm lucky most other Slavic countries are strong supporters of a single Slavic country.

From research and talking to many people it seems the only Slavic counties who lack interest are mainly Polish and Czechs every other Slavic country have strong movements supporting a single Slavic country.

I know many Yugoslavs who support the idea of a Slavic Union especially Serbs.
Most east Slavs are interested in the idea even Slavs in baltic counties around 40% of the baltic population are Slavic and nearly all the people speak russian either as a first or second language. Out of the western Slavs czech and Slovaks are in the middle ( the idea of one united Slavic country is their idea)

First modern baltic people are heavily mixed with Slavic people, I suggest you read up about their modern DNA of the baltic people's. Secondly, altogether about 40% of the people who live in Baltic countries are purely Slavic (mainly Russian with smaller groups of Poles, Ukrainians and Belarusians.

Most of the 40% of Slavic people in the baltics speak Russian as a first languauge and most Baltic people speak russian as a second languauge.

You have no idea where I have lived or been. Don't assume anything because non of you know me.

If you don't support a united Slavic country I respect that but to say Slavic people are not related or have no common culture or related languages is a pure lie. We all come from the same stock of Slavic tribes who split off and migrated in different directions ( like Arabs)

Everyone is from Africa.... Science has evolved from that theory. And yes my mother is a native Poleshchuk from the Pripyat so I can directly trace half of me immediately there.
