History / Why did communism in Poland fail? [180]


Any names of Russian nationalists?


Oftentimes not in Russia's favour.


See what you said... Soviets have has the religious institutions for centruies. What the hell is that?
Again "racist"... who was racist towards whom?

Who were they racist towards?

History / Why did communism in Poland fail? [180]


Oh I remember you announced the most ridiculous idea of racist Russians (if my memory serves me well)...

It failed in Russia cause C. has never been in tunes with the very Russian character. If it was you would most likely live with it at the moment.

It has always taken an iron hand to keep the Russians adhered to C. untill C. finally regenerated into its harmless forms of Brezhnev's deadlock and that was practically a point of no return.

Besides it answers the question of why C. caused so many victims in the USSR compared to nazism of the 3rd Reich.

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

Just imagined if there was a similar thread in the runet... "who do you hate more "Americans or Jews"? That would only serve to expose the retards, i.e. those who would seriously post their picks.

News / Tragedy in Russia - shouldn`t Poland declare national mourning? [41]


Thanks for the kind words, Pan Pawian!

I'm being a bit sceptical though about the national mourning. The point is that the latter is more a political gesture, that of two governments: Polish and Russian and in my mind that would be somewhat odd to condole with the regime (putin's regime) which had up till now by every move encouraged the corruption and negligence in the RF.

Again, I highly appreciate your act of good will i Vashe dobroe serdce but I do believe that in this case it may be only personal: from a Pole to the Russians.

Besides, personal feelings of the Poles may be various...

Language / Ukrainian language similar to Polish? [236]


I think you should take time here and explain what "very" means in your book. How comes that I can understand a good portion of Ukrainian being a native Russian speaker then? With the same approach it may be said that Swedish is very different to Norwegian, but what's similar then? American and British English? Ok, now I must agree...

Off-Topic / Being a Slav: a blessing or a curse? [199]


Generally speaking it can't be an insult to call somebody a non-Slav. Though when deliberately calling a Slav not a Slav could be that.


What did the statement have to do with a definition of the group? Ok. I don't consider Americans Slavic, if this would help.


Not earlier than you prove me that the Poles are Slavs.
Im większe kłamstwo, tym ludzie łatwiej w nie uwierzą. /Herr Goebbels/

Obviously it's quite an easy task for a Slav to tell Mr. Novak from let's say Mr. Neumann. But I'm not really willing to discuss it in the suggested ridiculous vein.

Off-Topic / Being a Slav: a blessing or a curse? [199]


Not that it can insult me or the Russians in general but I somehow don't understand how can anyone in his right mind can take the thread seriously after this statement. :) Though I must praise you since you've managed to contain yourself for a few posts! (One shouldn't be a soothsayer to predict what you always end up with).

Hint: when lack of argumentation/spit to splutter with use "an old Communist sadistic fart"-spell. :)

Feedback / A Personal Request to all PF members [119]

On any forum it's an overwhelming task to find a single person whose mind is free of bias and stereotypes. Nor you are an exception, by the way. You too are not innocent whom you like so much to play. You have a soft spot for Indians etc, you dislike the Russians. It’s you choice, you shouldn’t be banned or get moderated when express your, at times completely ridiculous, position. You should stay as a Pole whose view too determines what Poland is today (for I come here to “touch” a real foreign, not only Polish, culture the way it is, unvarnished). So why bother? You cannot make people think otherwise by the restrictions; all the more you cannot make yourself think different.

The main purpose of any forum is to give the desired information for as many people as possible by any legitimate means and attract people thereby. So you can’t change minds of those who came here to mock at others, rather than to what you call to “contribute” and mocking is also a contribution, just of another type which somehow has its admirers. Being always sound is boring.

Thirdly, you can’t forcedly lock the baddies and make it all look as if you’re a perfect nation. (You don’t want the USSR here, do you?) There’s nothing flawless in the world.

For the last thing I can scarcely recall any occasion when someone got affected by a “lame” comment of a foreigner on this board (noimi is gone). That goes more for Plastic Poles (not you, you’re the real one though weird) who are in plenty here. Fringe view on let’s say Polish affairs is really an element of the Poles who has left their homeland for better life.

P.S. I haven't got what your thread is about either. Playing up to your own vanity?

History / Tuchola in Poland - roots of Katyn? [220]


Too bad. Had you knew one, your views might have been altogether different from what you're producing.


I'll tell you what the point is. Having understood that Russia is a different from Poland coutry (as much as two different countries could be different), I'm yet asking you to name those fabulous distinctions, that makes you think that a Russian would do whatever he's told to, while a Pole supposedly wouldn't.


Kostia, with all due respect I must say that you’ve failed to produce anything substantive against my harmless questions. Shall I say it again? Why did you get to waffle as only I hit a raw nerve of your hero or did I touch that of yourself perhaps? Why does it always take to twist everything to keep the overall picture fitting your pink world of the unleashed putinism? Why not just be a dab realistic?

Reforms you say? Well… not that I was waiting or not but Russia was pretty much drastically reformed in comparison to what we’d had at Eltsyn’s reign. The question is were those reforms any good for Russia. You can already give a candid answer to this one. By no means this was good. It made happy but a small group of near-the-power people with their pitiful apologists who are in the first place deserve the name “srannaja intelligencia” in the meaning of the “fake”, “plastic”. Those who you’re apparently trying to recall with the expression are all gone with the commies en masse. Nowadays has given us an altogether diverse image of “intelligentsia”. This is just the ones who want to think free, which I set equal to being progressive.

Why do you say that I’m far from so-called “commoners”? Maybe I am one. Oh yeah, I actually believe I am. Do you think they don’t need to eat, read, create, develop themselves the way they want, have a president they want as well as you or me?

And the list you came up with… What the heck has it to do either with our discussion or with today’s Russia? The government steals milliards; the corruption is beyond the scope of comprehensible; the court is a circus one may come with popcorn to; the functionaries of the ruling party becomes clowns when it comes to serious debates (see the recent debates Navalny/Fedorov). And you say “government should realize…” That’s ridiculous. How long did it take to a literally mad man Saakashvili to reform the police? Do you honestly believe we’re gonna have anything similar after the 1st of March?

Language / Diminutives (zdrobnienie) for Sylwia [12]


The word makes a Russian smile, I've noticed :). Often add there "...sköter sjösjuka sjörövar..." to transfer it into a grin.


Seems like diminutives formation is common in the Slavic languages. I would stick with the second. Sylweczka. :)


I guess it would work in Czech. They tend to be lack of vowels. Prst, krst, krk. I am itching to add some vowelsto the one above. :)

History / Tuchola in Poland - roots of Katyn? [220]


Well... like this one:


Whilst you still don't watch Russia that closely. :)

I strongly doubt you have surveyed even ten Russians in your life to assert that, however assuming that


is true it would really nice to listen how would an average Pole behave in the situation. Would he still obey whatever was told to do or?..


And you Kostia... would you be so kind as to explain to me the phenomena of putinoids' existence over thirty (I could have said "over twenty" which would have been more plausible but I consider your age)? I thought that all those bed-time stories about stability and (ba)nanotechnologies had sunk into oblivion, hadn't they? What makes you support the guy?

History / Tuchola in Poland - roots of Katyn? [220]


It is. :) Though I assumed considering your previous pretty serious allegations, you would have an answer on this one too.


I strongly believe there are many people who would.


Which one?

History / Tuchola in Poland - roots of Katyn? [220]


I wish I had any evidence of that.


I believe their main task was to enrich themselves at the expense of the Russians which they had perfectly coped with. They are still doing that, remaining at the helm tooth-and-nail.

What in your mind the Russians should do since there's no democratic way to rid of them?

History / Tuchola in Poland - roots of Katyn? [220]


No people with the proper agenda?


Can you elaborate? Is that because we simply do not have a candidate with liberal/democratic enough views or there's no narodnaja vol'ja (people's will) to provide the right one with such credentials?

New style revolutions like those in Georgia and Ukraine were practically bloodless. They were hardly backed by force. Don't you believe in similar scenario for Russia?

History / Tuchola in Poland - roots of Katyn? [220]


Geniuses may well be bastards.


Does that mean that you wouldn't support revolution in nowadays Russia (as there don't seem to be any legal way to overthrow putin's regime)?

History / Poland in a Slavic Union/Alliance/Federation? [335]


I guessed so. :) I was just speaking in general. A piece of reflection on my part.
I know that many people still can't give up their ideas of bringing light (read "civilization") to others... even here, in the RF.

History / Poland in a Slavic Union/Alliance/Federation? [335]



These words belong to Alfred Reyngoldovich Koch - the most cynical nemec Russia has given a birth to. In spite of his dubious past he has a point here. Do not really want to serve as eyeopener to you but Chechnya is to its fingertips on Russian payroll. With no money from Moscow they would be just another economically and socially retarded region. Once tasted this type of life most of sane, religiously moderated Chechens do not want to be ever deprived of it. The problem as of today is that the Russians do want to let them go.


That might be the root of the evil. One can't meddle in the natural flow of things, namely you can't build Poland in Russia same as we can't build Russia in Poland - neither geographically nor ethnically. The sooner one grasps it the better it would be for both parties. You can't "civilize" us your way for that we've simply got a different way.

Russia already have Polish contribution both in its history and its genepool, yet that didn't make Poles out of the people... and never will.

USA, Canada / CULTURE SHOCK! (of my Polish finance who visited the US) [210]


I had very similar feeling when first came to the US back in 2006 from Russia. Give him a couple months to moderate his views. Are you going to live in the US? The US is great but there should be an appropriate turn of mind to live there and feel well. There's yet a chance your Polish fiancé wouldn't like it as a place to live.

P.S. Ooops... just figured out the thread is almost 4 years old :)

Genealogy / Do you think all Slavs are white? [178]


What's "Russian" in your book? Are there only the ones who are "tatar+slavic+mongol mix". How about the Russians that do not fit these composition? Who are they?


He is white, though not a Russian (unless he wants to be so for he's raised in Russia, his mother tongue is Russian and adopted the Russian culture).


Does being European equal to being always right in your mind? You're a confused teen I'd say...

News / Sikorski doctrine - Eastern Europe under threat. Poland's foreign policy. [164]


My bad, sorry. Well... I gave him some credit.


I heard that from a Ukrainian who worked with me. Apparently I mean a Slavic interpretation of the word. Janukovic is said to have that nickname in his youth.


Now you're dodging. These are not apparent for every other Russian things you listed I reproach you for. These are bias, double-standards, intentional lie&ignorance, barefaced animocity, I disdain to notice here. Were you a teen, I would write this off for your hormones. You're obviously not...

If you're the product of the SU, then I would say the latter is an evil for a single fact it gave you a rise.

на добраніч!

News / Sikorski doctrine - Eastern Europe under threat. Poland's foreign policy. [164]


So is Russia for you then, which perfectly fits his sentiment of that neither Poles nor Ukrainians can have a sole right to label any other nation.

Or, if it works better for you, he has as equal rights as yourself to do so.

News / Sikorski doctrine - Eastern Europe under threat. Poland's foreign policy. [164]


People like you make countries both attack and being attacked... :) Though do not I mean to worry you. Your posts will always reach their audience.

Your notion on the whole leeds me to a thought of that it surely better for Ukraine to have a semi-literal "ham" at the helm, than an educated (unless it's related to history and politology) psycho like yourself, providing I've always wished the best to Ukraine as a state. Being a spiteful mockery of a young Stepa, you, certainly without meaning it, make Russia and Poland look more similar than either of those compared to the seal between. I'm sorry yet again to dissappoint you but a scarce Russian or Ukrainian of a sufficient sanity would be any touched by a pathetic beatching about Russia and her evilness on your part, since you're yourself the evil I hadn't had a chance to contemplate in either of 16 countries I've hitherto visited (though I haven't been to Canada and that may be the case).

News / Medvedev in Poland [28]


One cannot, dwoe mogut.


Amen! :)


Absolutely not. If not that kind of people that would be harder to make money, at least for me. They bear no nationality, they're all about the same here in Russia and anywhere else in the world.

Nanopresident (as we call him here due to his height of 162cm and fancy for nanotechnologies) unlike putin has a heart. That's what I have to admit after him being at the helm for a couple years. He's not a gifted leader, yet the positive trend in liberalization (though faint) is clear.

The step however is not disinterested. From what I see they're expecting similar for 80 thousand Soviet POWs of the Pol.-Bol. wojna.

News / Medvedev in Poland [28]


Darren, could you please make your "good point" blue (i.e. with a prooflink) instead of bold black so that it doesn't sound like an ad hominem statement. I believe that you read it somewhere, I just ask that you share the knowledge with me who has never hitherto heard of such figures.

P.S. You may as well keep counting heads... There's a high chance that some Pole has just drunk oneself to death in some retired Siberian village.

News / Does it seem to you that Russia loves Poland now? [35]


For the first, don't you see inconsistency of your statement? Or what you mean by "latitude"?
The latitude had been given to them long before the first Chechen war. They felt free at 80th... they felt free to do whatever some Chechen groups wanted and get away unpunished. From my perspective that was a leading cause for the starting the war.

A bit of figures... Migration of the Russians from Chechnya in 1988-1989 was 5 times bigger than that of 1978-1979. It took ten years to shorten the Russian population in Chechnya tenfold from 30% in 1989 to 3,7% in 2002. Genocide? Yes. Who's responsible? Some Chechen bandgroups and the Russian government which turned a blind eye onto it.


Roy Conrad. Grozny... a few days

Of course later, especially when putin finally came to power the crimes became mutual. The Russian part of the crimes are well described in Putinskaja Rossija (putin's Russia) and in vtoraja Chechenskaja (the second Chechen (war) by Politkovskaja. However she doesn't almost dwell on Chechen crimes.

And yes, we treat Tatars well too, but there's much difference between a Chechen and a Tatar as between Chuckchee and a Jew. One can hardly deal with those who have no respect for your faith, your lifestyle, your values.

I would be happy to see Chechens equal part of our society, fully integrated into it but it will take time. It's not going to happen when either putin or kadyrov are at the helm.

Another thing that struck my eye in your statement was the word "chauvinistic". Yes we are chauvinistic towards Chechen (not towards Tatars) but it couldn't be otherwise since the policy of our government is to trigger such a mood in the society, to make us hate Chechens, to make the conflict endless.


An offtop.... I heard from a Russian Pole (who don't speak Polish though) that a cashier on a station didn't want to sell tickets to Szczecin cause he couldn't say the name of the city Polish enough. An older Pole who stayed next in the line helped him...

I can't imagine a Russian being that chauvinistic.
