but you can’t make the distinction between the Russian governments at different times and the nation as a whole.
Nope, I can make that distinction. The difference here is that both in the past and present they’re monsters.
Nope again… Here’s the real context. We were talking about Russian governments. I stated that I didn’t need to make a distrinction, as it was clear that I was talking about the Russian government both past and present as I then outlined several issues that the government is the only actor in, not the people themselves.
Try again.
not legitimate and credible analysis of history and societies.
And yet you’ve failed to address ANY concern I’ve brought up. Conveniently ignoring every premise I’ve brought up to counter your bullshit.
Again, as I said, impossible to discuss with most Polish people, you’re not arguing from reason but from nationalism and racism. Good night, and good luck
Uh huh… That’s absurdly funny as I’m actually a dual citizen. I’ve made no assumptions about you or your statuses, and yet you’ve made plenty about mine. But somehow I’m nationalist and racist. Look in the mirror. All you’ve done is attributed nonsense to me based on limited information, classical “racism”.
Lets simplify this. Answer either one of these items… Remember both are cited questions.
So in 1945… what happened to Poland… since they legally succeeded from the USSR they were a free country again right?
How is your graph relevant or meaningful?
So actually it looks like Russia propaganda in the 1940s thanks to De Gualle’s personal opinions on the matter.
Edit: Keep in mind I even took the BEST of your comments… You seem to be under some belief that the USSR never committed atrocities and genocide levels of damage to Poland. You’re already wrong.
So in 1945… what happened to Poland… since they legally succeeded from the USSR they were a free country again right?
In 1945, the soviets installed a friendly communist government in Poland, while granting it again the right to be an independent country, kind of proving that the objective from the start wasn’t “to conquer Poland because Russians are so evil”, but to not have enemies in their borders. There were purges of anticommunists as everywhere else in the soviet block.
Now I’ll ask you: in 1989 and forwards, with the Solidarity movement. Do you believe that’s a grassroots movement which spawned purely in Poland, with the only goal of freedom and democracy, and wasn’t in any way influenced by other countries? Hint: USA? The 1989 “revolution” was completely autonomous and legitimate and now Poland is finally a completely free state?

Funny how the purported opinion of polish citizens about Russia isn’t affected by propaganda, but the french polls are somehow.

I never claimed anything like that. I’m aware of the Katyn massacre and the purges of anticommunists in the USSR on a widespread level, just not particularly against Poland.
genocide levels of damage to Poland
Sorry, only Polish people actually believe that. There’s no international body as far as I know which makes any claim of genocide towards Polish by the USSR.
Alright we’re done. You can’t even keep your own shit straight.
In 1945, the soviets installed a friendly communist government in Poland
So not a country with it’s own freedom at all then. I thought you said they were free. Imagine telling a country it’s free when the USA installs whatever government it chooses.
I’m aware of the Katyn massacre and the purges of anticommunists in the USSR on a widespread level
Man oh man. I’m so glad that the Katyn massacre affected other countries other than Poland! Feel free to tell the class how this wasn’t “particularly against Poland”.
For those who don’t know…
The Katyn massacre was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 defenceless Polish military and police officers, border guards, and intelligentsia prisoners of war carried out by the Soviet Union, specifically the NKVD, at Stalin’s order in April and May 1940.
So basically the death count of Palestine right now… which has been labeled a genocide by the UN and multiple other parties. This is JUST that one event. Not including the USSR’s “anticommunist purge”. Which is estimated to have killed more than 100,000 Poles and Deported Millions more (most of them likely dying as population of Siberia and other places they were sent to didn’t see a matching population boost).
Approximately 250,000 Polish prisoners of war were captured by the USSR during and after the invasion of Poland.
The Soviet forces murdered almost all captured officers, and sent numerous ordinary soldiers to the Soviet Gulag.
In total, the Soviets killed tens of thousands of Polish prisoners of war.
The Soviet NKVD executed about 65,000 imprisoned Poles after being subjected to show trials.
Approximately 100,000 Polish citizens were arrested during the two years of Soviet occupation.
the Soviets deported a total of more than 1,200,000 Poles in four waves of mass deportations from the Soviet-occupied Polish territories.
with more than 220,000 people sent primarily to far north and east Russia, including Siberia and Khabarovsk Krai. The second wave of 13 April 1940, consisted of 320,000 people sent primarily to Kazakhstan. The third wave of June–July 1940 totaled more than 240,000. The fourth and final wave occurred in June 1941, deporting 300,000.
rounded up by order of Lavrentiy Beria of the NKVD and deported to Siberia and various gulags in the Soviet Union reached 50,000 in 1945 alone.
According to official data, during the state-controlled expulsion between 1945 and 1946, roughly 1,167,000 Poles left the westernmost republics of the Soviet Union, less than 50% of those who registered for population transfer. Another major ethnic Polish transfer took place after Stalin’s death, in 1955–1959.
Oh and before you say something really fucking stupid…like “Poland wanted to be soviet controlled”.
The Poles and the Soviets re-established diplomatic relations in 1941, following the Sikorski-Mayski Agreement; but the Soviets broke them off again in 1943 after the Polish government demanded an independent examination of the recently discovered Katyn burial pits.The Soviets lobbied the Western Allies to recognize the pro-Soviet Polish puppet government of Wanda Wasilewska in Moscow.
Why would they want to be Soviet controlled when they specifically broke ties with Russia over the Katyn massacre?
Funny how the purported opinion of polish citizens about Russia isn’t affected by propaganda, but the french polls are somehow.
No it’s not funny at all. It’s expected that normal people wouldn’t know about every military operation that occurred during WW2. Specifically the US landing at Normandy and other similar operations. When I talk about the opinion of my family it’s first hand experience of how they lived. There’s a distinct difference in how you would expect a person to know about the events.
And before you comment again…
Fucking 6 million Poles died in WW2. 1/6th of that was Russia.
Andrzej Paczkowski puts the number of Polish deaths due to Soviet repression at 90,000–100,000 of the 1.0 million persons deported and 30,000 executed by the Soviets.[40]
According to Zbigniew S. Siemaszko the total of those deported was 1,646,000 of whom 1,450,000 were residents and refugees (excluding POWs).[41]
According to Franciszek Proch the total of those deported was 1,800,000 of whom 1,050,000 perished.[42]
Millions of poles died to Soviet hands. Mostly on foreign soil that they were forced to. Imagine causing 1/6th of the total losses of a war and then claiming that the Soviets were a godsend!. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties_of_Poland
In 1989, the Soviet Union under the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev apologized for its crimes against Poland.
But nah! Totally not Genocide at all! And Russia hasn’t even owned up to some extent that they did it! I’m sorry, you’re fucking wrong and this conversation is done.
