That’s a good reason why Poles and Ukrainians get along so well now.

I’m pretty well intrenched in the Romanian community as well (lived there for 6 months over 20 years ago). They cannot stand Russia or Russians either, for the same reasons. They also view Moldovans with high levels of skepticism due to the whole Trans-Dniester issue.
Putin’s ‘dream’ of reviving the old Soviet Union will never happen.
