Probably followers of Pilsudsky (sp?) - Polish dictator back to 192x. "pun" - maybe it's the Polish word for "Sir".

Aha, so the Poles in general.

"Polskiye pany" was a common deifintion of the Poles, used by bolsheviks, during Polish - Soviet war 1919-1921.

It's related to the fact, that in Polish language words "mister" (or "sir")and "lord" ar the same - "pan" (plural - "panowie", but in vulgar language spoken by simple people - "pany").

So - when someone stupid heard, that Poles call each other "pan" - like for example a farmer Mr (pan) Jan Kowalski, or a nobleman Mr (pan) Jerzy Krasnodebski, or a worker Mr (pan) Jozef Nowak, or a factory owner Mr (pan) Zbigniew Krajewski - he thought probably, that all of them are "Polskiye pany" (Polish Lords)

But of course this is not a stereotype (sarcasm).

Yes the followers of Pilsidskii who himslef was no really better then Stalin.

I saw recently film about polish campaign to get colonies just before WW2. It was looked funny.
Do you know that before WW2 polish goverment requested from League of Nations to define for Poland some african(?) countries as polsih colonies?
Poland was going to be collonial empire before WW2:).

Poland of Pilsidskii wasn't no much better then Soviet Union of Stalin.
DO you know that Winston Cherchill called Poland as "hyuena" because Poland together with Hitler's Germany partitioned Checkoslovakia in 1938.
The next year 1939 Poland was partitioned herself and poles remember it very good but conviniently forget 1938 partition.
