Why Israel invited that KGB trash letting him spread the whole “we liberated...” propaganda and why some soviet shit is allowed to be posted even here, is really beyond me.
Soviet distrust towards some parts of the Polish society was understood.
The problem is in a fact that Polish elites developed a doctrine according to which the existence of any Russian state was viewed as a threat to Poland regardless the form of government Russia has.
Especially pitiful is a fact that this doctrine appeared immediately after Russia granted independence to Poland and a year later Poland waged aggressive war to implement it.
Why do you think Russia should tolerate it?
The moment the opportunity appeared to fix the problem they did it. Some people have been killed or imprisoned which is not to be supported but these were the standards of the era.
All in all Poland wasn’t destroyed but remained as a nation and allowed to maintain ethnic identity. The Soviets rebuilt it after war and added territory to it.
Would Poland alow it to Russia if it was capable to dominate?
It is extraordinary stupid for a small weak country to exercise geopolitical ambitions of the proportions they tried to exercise in interwar period.
A country doing it is begging for extinction.
Russia won’t cease to exist simply because someone in Poland wants it.
