History / Communist memorials in Poland [50]

Oh wow, Jew using a "Szlachcic" (nobleman) nick. How quaint.

I am no Jew.

My prababcia hails from a noble family of Wadwicz, from the Wilno region.

My father proudly has the herp displayed in his living room, and I have it tattooed on my chest.

thank you. :)

Obviously Szlachcic doesn't have anybody in Family who had the "plesure" of living through Soviet Ocupation of Eastern Poland during 1939-41.

Both of my parents, as well as grandparents, had only positive things to say about it.

My mother especially loved learning Russian culture and language, and considered herself a Russian citizen second to being Polish.

As a small child, we travelled to and lived in Sankt Petersburg on and off in the 80s. :)

It's a real pity that Poles today don't learn Russian to the same extent as during RPL.

I'm sorry if your family didn't benefit from it.

Quite frankly, I could care less. :)

Ah, those were the very good times!

A real shame the youth of today fall for all this negative propaganda about communism.

News / THE ARMY OF POLAND - THE REALITY [493]

Why the hell doesn't Poland have mandatory conscription anymore?! What do they expect to do if there was a conflict? Use weekend warriors? Are there actual benefits to having a professional army?

I ponder this all the time.

the army was definitely much larger in PRL

Life / West-East life in Poland? [45]

the majority of my family lives in the Podlaskie woj., and most of their towns and villages have hardly been touched by modernization since at least WWII.

I rather like it that way! :)
