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

i know the general history of Poland which kinda made me feel terribly sorry for Poland.
from what i know, both Russia and Germany did kind of terrible things to Poland like Japan did to Korea.

I want to ask, if you Poles don't mind, in general, which state do you guys hate more? : Russia or Germany? and if you can write, why?

but i guess these days Most young people are find with your neighbors, i hope so.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

Merged: IsPoland geographically,culturally or economically considered as Eastern orCentral Europe?

i'm an Asian majoring in Eastern-Europe studies(specifically Czech) and Polish one is also in this category(is in the university of Eastern-Europe studies)

so i have always been thinking Poland automatically is more close to Eastern Europe culturally, economically and so on.
Poland also had a communist form of government like some other Eastern-Europe countries.
Also, the Polish-language belongs to the Slavic-language group along with Russian, Czech and Slovakian.

But i heard somewhere that Polish people in general don't like it when people say Poland is an Eastern-European country. and they like to rather be called as 'Central-Europe'

if this information is true, why is this like that???

i think the standards dividing Eastern and Central Europe is very vague so it actually doesn't really matter. What do you think...???(if it can be divided...)
