Now there's a novel twist! Moscow, along with Hitler, attack, partition and occupy Poland, commit horrific atrocities against its people and maintain their stranglehold over the country until their own states collapse from underneath them -- and it is all Poland's fault! Absolutely brilliant -- why didn't I think of that?

Historical facts are – historical. However, let’s take the present generations who – on either way – inherited the previous ones and reflect their predecessors (consciously and unconsciously). Who is pressing Eastern Europe today, West or East neighbors? East Europe is not willing to admit that it has over-paid for the moderate extent of pressure from the West packed in NATO cellophane. So what is the difference – from East Europe point of view – between the two vectors coming from West and East? Their resultant there is zero. But – what makes them zeroed exactly in East Europe? Why they don’t zero in Germany? The answer is – our non-sovereignty. And whatever the excuses about our “mediating” cause of being the victims “in-between” – we stay only as the negative constant among two or more sovereignties. Yugoslavia has been the most expressive damage using this morally speculative trash. The extent of damage is in the character Tito left in the present people totally unable to perceive sovereignty as a challenge beyond the price. Only Serbs still feel it in the stomach as the not-vomited substance. Easter Europe is the graveyard of our destiny sunk in self-zeroing. Neither West, nor Russia belongs to this misery! We in East Europe remained – consumable part of past and future “historical facts”. Our misery is the ultimate expression of the whole region being left without reality or – being full of churches including those destroyed – without religion. How come – the communism in Russia did never loose reality or religion, what is the same thing? Because, Russian responsibility has been expressed in fighting to maintain the sovereignty. How many industrial directors in USSR ended loosing the heads? It is quite a list. But find one on the Tito’s list; he was using only the irresponsible selective code, pretending today to the precious left-legacy!?

this site's coverage is totally russian-biased. is there really still a "debate" over what happened in Poland during WWII? I'm not surprised, the Russians themselves are in the dark ages when it comes to history. What an insult, as though the Poles were somehow partly to blame for what happened to them... Russia partly won the war, so inherited Polish land, controlled the Polish people. Simple.
