And who attacked Poland few days after Nazis? Muslims? Maybe Orthodox countries didn’t cooperated with nazis at all? Such auction hasn’t any sense and lead to nowhere.

The USSR was not Orthodox nor was Orthodox tolerated. Meanwhile the Pope once praised Hitler and Catholic priests helped Nazis escape to South America - and in South America another generation of Catholic clergy advocated "Liberation Theology". Even under Soviet captivity and undermining of the Orthodox faith no Russian celrgy advocated spreading Communist revolution.

It was Soviets/Bosheviks who attacked Poland. Orthodox Christians were rotting in Gulag and Orthodox churches were closed if not destroyed. Only after Nazi attack on Soviet Union Stalin allowed some churches to be open. YOU DID NOT KNOW IT?

I just looked up on Goggle and I found the page showing the attitude of Russian Christians to the Bolshevism:

Blood of the Martyrs is the Seed of the Church

You wrote in a previous post:

"Church in Poland always supported independence and was hostile towards communists and nazis."

If you compare the resistence of the official leadership in Polish and Russian Church it was quite similar - it lasted about eight years and then started to crumble.

The difference is that in 1953 when Polish bishops started to submit to communists and their main leader cardinal Wyszynski was imprisoned (same way as patriarch Tichon) STALIN DIED AND LIBERALIZATION STARTED. This is what saved Polish Church.
