History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [105]
Well, let me tell you why is this opinion present. It is told so on Russian history lessons and still popular Soviet-era patriotic books about WWII. I understand they didn't exactly give Poland freedom, they and allies scared Nazi troops off, then allies left and communists installed pro-soviet governments in many countries. They maybe saved physical lives of individuals but they got Poland "to pay" for it by being communist. And they didn't hesitate to keep the power (Czechoslovakia, 1968 and Poland, 1981-83). Those old crazy men thought they were going to change the world but their version of Socialism was kinda perverted.
if you start argueing that Russians freed us from the Germans, you can expect hostility
