I am as much polish as anyone on this forum possibly more then most. However it's generally recognised by poles though rarely stated that there are poles and there are poles. That's why this forum exists in the first place. There is diversity within 'poles' I see this as a positive feature it's unfortunate that you dont seem to appreciate this positive difference. It is this difference that strengthens a nation.

Life / Can most people in Poland speak Russian? [43]

Many people speak Russian in Ukraine because there are around 5 million ethnic Russians in Ukraine who mainly live in the eastern and southern parts of Ukraine. Also when all of Ukraine west and east were part of the Russian empire Ukraine was heavily Russified the same with Belarus. Genetically there is no difference between a Pole, Ukrainian , Belarusian or Russian person all have the same founding fathers. You can google it and read all about it for yourself

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.
