It was Stalin himself, who said once - "Imposing
Communism on Poland was like trying to saddle a cow."

Nevertheless there it (Communism) was for many years. The saddle was on and it didn't come off until the Reagan era,

[Grzegorz 246]

I have to disagree with your opinion about Poland, Russia and communism. In case of communism Russia was like Germany in case of nazism, Poland was like France and the only reason that the choice was between Vichy Poland and suicide.

1. Stalin was by no means the first Russian to try to put a saddle on the Polish cow. Long line of tsars preceded him in that effort, with equally ill-fitting results.
2. If the saddle being shaken off is to be attributed to one man, it would be John Paul II.
