The Polish armed forces are training citizen volunteers how to be armed partisans, firing rifles and donning gas masks.
That’s… not great. The program is apparently popular, so they are expanding its capacity so that every adult male receives the training.
The Soviets did not liberate Poland, they brutally occupied it with no intentions of leaving. The Katyn Massacre was the start and any Poles who were against the Soviet occupation was sent off to the gulags. Modern Poland started after the last fucking Russian left Polish soil. What about Finland? Nobody with a sane mind in Europe wants to be occupied by the miserable low-life imperialistic Russians.
Why the consistent conflating of the Soviet Union and “Russians”? Almost as if your argument here is coming purely from Russophobia, and not from the material and historical analysis of a country with 300 million people, approximately only half of which were Russian. Stalin himself was Georgian, and his successor Khruschyov was Ukrainian.
Oh I see, so it’s just Russophobia. Should have guessed it. If you’re Polish, I’m sorry that you’ve been brainwashed by the nationalist far-right into hating the people who contributed most to the elimination of Nazism in your homeland, which if you remember correctly, exterminated millions of your kind. But hey, you can overcome it. I’m Spanish and I overcame the worst parts of the Islamophobia and Arabphobia that our institutions regurgitate onto us, so you can do it too!
As someone from Spain (country where the fascists actually won the war and remained in government for 40-odd years), I actually wish we had had a neighboring communist country who helped us out of fascism, instead of capitalist countries whitewashing our ACTUALLY fascist authoritarian regime. Btw, the Soviet Union was the ONLY country in the world to sell weapons to antifascists in Spain during our civil war against fascism, and they sent troops to teach my people to use planes and tanks against fascists. I wonder why they did that?
