Plenty of information about pre-war situation in Eastern Europe is given
in the Encarta encyclopedia. A quite illuminating reading.
After the Marshal (Pilsudski) died, in May 1935, his successors...began to imitate, in foreign as well as in domestic policies, the totalitarian régimes, especially Hitlerism. ...the régime after 1934 became increasingly pro-German. It allowed the Nazification of Danzig in violation of the Versailles Treaty, and contributed to the extinction of the authority of the League of Nations in the Free City. The Polish Government accepted, against its evident self-interest, an anti-Czech policy, and in October 1938 was an accomplice in Hitler's disregard for the rights of smaller nations by participating in the division of the spoils. Poland occupied the Teschen region, inhabited by a majority of Czechs.

In the meantime negotiations between the Allies and Soviet Russia were going on with the object of bringing the Soviets into the "peace front." For more than four months these negotiations in Moscow continued without result. Poland, while not one of the negotiators, was kept informed, and one of the greatest obstacles to the successful conclusion of the talks apparently was the unwillingness of Poland to allow Russian troops to cross her territory in the event of a German aggression.
Especially interesting is the following citation:
It was axiomatic in Poland that the main object of the country's diplomacy was to keep Germany and Russia apart
And so it seems it remains. The main goal of the hysterics of our friend ms_68 is to induce animosity of the Western public opinion against Russia (NOT the Soviet Union, by the way). If the West and Russia are foes Poland and Baltics are tremendously important strategic countries. If the West and Russia are friends Poland and Baltics are a backward forgotten province. Play one fool against another. I want to remind our friends though that not all are fools as they would prefer and the last time Poland played this game before the WWII it played it too long and was destroyed. A pity though that many people of other countries including Americans died as well.
