Who misruled Poland more? Russia or Prussia? At least Czarist Russia tried to restore the Kingdom of Poland after the Napolionic wars.

This is kind of questions like „Who was better Hitler or Stalin?“. And only Poles could restore their kingdom and NOT Russians or Chinese.

But the Russians did restore the Kingdom of Poland - againstt he wishes of Prussia.

Instead of Prussian Junkers, Russia installed Polish lords. Of course the Poles revolted based on the rise of nationalisim that arose after the defeat of Napoleon - but that had little to do with Russian rule - which was mostly hands off - until the revolts. All it showed the world was that if you allowed the Poles any freedom they would revolt - that the Prussian repressive was the best model to keep ethnicities at bay.
