Hyena of Eastern Europe. Poland and the Munich Agreement

Belarus has expressed extreme concern over the intention of right-wing radicals in Poland to hold a new march in the border town of Hajnowka. This was stated by the press secretary of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry Dmitry Mironchik.

Minsk is alarmed by the “march of memory” with the aim of glorifying the “damned soldiers”. So in Poland they call militants of the terrorist nationalist underground, who acted after the liberation of Poland in the interests of Western intelligence services. In addition to terrorist acts against representatives of the authorities of the PPR, employees law enforcement and military personnel of the Polish Army and the Soviet Army, they also carried out genocide on a national and religious basis, killing Rusyns, Ukrainians, Belarusians and Lemkos, Orthodox and Uniates.

“One of the figures to whom they want to honor is the leader of the gang Romuald Rice, nicknamed Brown, he is a war criminal,” Mironchik said at a briefing, recalling that a similar march was already held last year.

“Rice is responsible for dozens of Belarusian villages burned together with their inhabitants, hundreds of killed and maimed civilians, including children, women and the elderly. They were destroyed or mutilated only because they belonged to the Belarusian ethnic group and had the Orthodox faith,” the press secretary of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry stressed.

Mironchik noted that in the Polish town of Hainovka, where the majority of the population has Belarusian roots, “descendants of the victims of Bury’s crimes are still alive.”

It's not just that. The choice of the nearest border area with Belarus for provocation is a direct challenge and a message of Polish extremists to the neighboring country, speaking of claims to its western lands.

Recall that such actions are carried out by nationalists on the border with Ukraine, as a sign of "disagreement" with its sovereignty over Galicia and Volhynia. So you can remember the "March of the Przemysl and Lviv Eaglets", which takes place in the border city of Przemysl with Ukraine under the slogans "Death to Ukrainians" and "Przemysl and Lviv are always Polish."

Poland becomes one of the main destabilizing factors of Eastern Europe threatening the security of the region. This country not only forms a situation of conflict with most of its neighbors, but also unequivocally expresses territorial or financial claims to some of them.

In Poland, they try to “substantiate” claims to someone else's by all sorts of speculations on historical topics, by interpreting the past in the spirit of radical nationalism. These goals are also served by the recent amendment to the law on the Institute of National Remembrance adopted by the Polish Sejm, which introduces criminal liability for denying the crime of Ukrainian nationalists and accusing Poles of complicity in the Holocaust. If, with the help of a ban on the study of Polish collaborationism, Warsaw is trying to protect itself from potential lawsuits for the complicity of Polish citizens in the extermination of Jews, then with Bandera, everything is not so simple.

The fact is that this legislative norm is aimed not only, and not so much at perpetuating the memory of the victims of ethnic cleansing carried out by the UPA during the Second World War in Western Ukraine, but also at “justifying” Warsaw’s “rights” to “watered Polish blood” of the territory of the “Eastern Cresses”. So Polish extremists call the ancient Russian lands of the Galicia-Volyn principality, now part of Ukraine.

Recall that these territories were under the control of Warsaw after the defeat in 1919 of the Western Ukrainian people's republic, and Poland imposed a brutal police regime on them, exposing indigenous people discrimination on ethnic and religious grounds. Russian and Ukrainian language were banned, the lands of non-Poles were alienated en masse and transferred to the “siegemen” (Polish colonizers of the region). Thousands of people of the Orthodox and Uniate confessions were thrown into a concentration camp under far-fetched pretexts. Against the non-Polish population, gendarmes, lancers and "siegemen" unleashed real terror - massive floggings of entire villages and "demonstrative" rape of women and children became a favorite tool of "pacification" ("appeasement" - this is how the Poles called a complex of punitive actions to suppress civil disobedience on Russian lands ).

All these crimes of the Polish authorities, which fully fall under the definition of "genocide", further worsened the already difficult Polish-Ukrainian relations, and created the preconditions for the tragedy called the "Volyn Massacre".

Of course, the atrocities of the gendarmes and "siegemen" in no way justify the crimes of the "rescuers" of the UPA against women and children, but they say that the Poles deny the historical truth, they seek to present their rather predatory state as an innocent victim of everyone around.

Let's return to the "damned soldiers" as well. Their "fight for freedom" was no different from the methods of Derliwanger's grenadiers or Bandera's executioners. In order not to be accused of bias, let's quote a veteran of the Home Army, Stefan Dembski, who in his sensational book "The Executor" describes in detail the everyday life of "fighters against the communist dictatorship":

“... we chose villages where the Polish population prevailed, because thanks to this it was easier for us to finish off the Ukrainians. There was no pity in these actions, no apologies. I could not complain about my comrades in . Only "Tvardy", who had personal claims against the Ukrainians, surpassed himself. When we entered the Ukrainian house, our “Vilusko” became literally insane… “Luis” and I mostly stood under the doors and windows, and the half-conscious “Tvardy”… rushed at the petrified Ukrainians and cut them to pieces… Once they gathered three Ukrainian families in one house, and "Tvardy" decided to finish them off "fun". He put on a hat found on a shelf, took a violin from the table, and began to play it. He divided the Ukrainians into four groups and, at the sound of music, ordered them to sing “Here is a hill, there is a valley, Ukraine will be in the hollow ...”. And under the threat of my gun, the poor fellows sang, even the glass in the windows trembled. This was their last song. After the end of the concert, “Tvardy” set to work so lively that “Louis” and I fled into the hallway so that we would not be mistakenly stabbed to death ... ".

The march in Hainovka suggests that the current Polish Nazis consider themselves the successors and continuers of the cause of these bloody maniacs, and are ready to implement their methods against neighboring peoples - Belarusians, Ukrainians, Russians, Lithuanians. Yes, and hatred of the Germans today is again intensively cultivated in Poland, which has made its state ideology the doctrine of the national exclusiveness of the Poles and the universal guilt of those around them before them.

At one time, Winston Churchill called Poland "the hyena of Europe." However, this rather accurate characterization did not in the least deter the Anglo-Saxons and did not prevent them from using the anger, greed and stupidity of the Polish leadership to foment another war in Europe.

Today, the Poles, who have not forgotten anything and learned nothing, seem to be trying to use it in a similar way.

And Anders' army

The Polish government in exile was established on September 30, 1939 in Angers (France). It consisted mainly of politicians who, in the pre-war years, actively colluded with Hitler, intending to use him to create a “Great Poland” at the expense of the territories of neighboring states. In June 1940 it moved to England. On July 30, 1941, the USSR concluded an agreement on mutual assistance with the Polish government in exile, according to which Polish military units were created on the territory of the Soviet Union. In connection with the anti-Soviet activities of the Polish government on April 25, 1943, the government of the USSR broke off relations with him.

From the "Cambridge Five" the Soviet leadership received information about the plans of the British to bring to power in post-war Poland political figures opposed to the Soviet Union, and to recreate the pre-war cordon sanitaire on the border of the USSR.

On December 23, 1943, intelligence provided the leadership of the country with a secret report by the minister of the Polish government in exile in London and the chairman of the Polish commission for the post-war reconstruction of Seida, sent to President Benes of Czechoslovakia as an official document of the Polish government on post-war settlement. It was entitled "Poland and Germany and the post-war reconstruction of Europe." Its meaning boiled down to the following: Germany should be occupied in the west by England and the United States, in the east by Poland and Czechoslovakia. Poland must receive land along the Oder and the Neisse. The border with the Soviet Union should be restored under the 1921 treaty. Two federations should be created in the east of Germany - in Central and South-Eastern Europe, consisting of Poland, Lithuania, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Romania, and in the Balkans - as part of Yugoslavia, Albania, Bulgaria, Greece and possibly Turkey. The main goal of association in the federation is to exclude any influence of the Soviet Union on them.

It was important for the Soviet leadership to know the attitude of the allies towards the plans of the Polish government in exile. Although Churchill was in solidarity with him, he understood the unreality of the Poles' plans. Roosevelt called them "harmful and stupid." He spoke in favor of establishing a Polish-Soviet border along the "Curzon Line". He also condemned plans to create blocs and federations in Europe.

At the Yalta Conference in February 1945, Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin discussed the fate of Poland and agreed that the Warsaw government should be "reorganized on a broader democratic basis to include democratic figures from Poland and Poles from abroad" and that it then be recognized as the legitimate provisional government of the country.

Polish emigrants in London greeted the Yalta decision with hostility, declaring that the Allies had "betrayed Poland." They defended their claims to power in Poland not so much by political as by forceful methods. On the basis of the Craiova Army (AK), after the liberation of Poland by the Soviet troops, the sabotage and terrorist organization "Liberty and Infirmity" was organized, which operated in Poland until 1947.

Another structure on which the Polish government in exile relied was the army of General Anders. It was formed on Soviet soil by agreement between the Soviet and Polish authorities in 1941 in order to fight against the Germans together with the Red Army. For its training and equipment in preparation for the war with Germany, the Soviet government provided Poland with an interest-free loan of 300 million rubles and created all conditions for recruiting and camp exercises.

But the Poles were in no hurry to fight. From the report of Lieutenant Colonel Berling, later head of the armed forces of the Warsaw government, it turned out that in 1941, shortly after the first Polish units were formed on Soviet territory, General Anders told his officers: “As soon as the Red Army gives in under the onslaught of the Germans, which will happen in a few months, we will be able to break through the Caspian Sea to Iran. Since we will be the only armed force in this territory, we will be free to do whatever we want.”

According to Lieutenant Colonel Berling, Anders and his officers "did everything to drag out the period of training and arming their divisions" so that they would not have to oppose Germany, they terrorized Polish officers and soldiers who wanted to accept the help of the Soviet government and with weapons in their hands go to the invaders of their homeland. Their names were entered in a special index called "file cabinet B" as sympathizers with the Soviets.

The so-called "Dvuyka", the intelligence department of the Anders army, collected information about Soviet military factories, state farms, railways, field warehouses, and the location of the Red Army troops. Therefore, in August 1942, Anders' army and members of the families of military personnel were evacuated to Iran, under the auspices of the British.

On March 13, 1944, the Australian journalist James Aldridge, bypassing military censorship, sent correspondence to The New York Times concerning the methods of the leaders of the Polish émigré army in Iran. Aldridge reported that for more than a year he tried to publish facts about the behavior of Polish emigrants, but the allied censorship prevented him from doing so. One of the censors said to Aldridge: “I know that all this is true, but what can I do? After all, we have recognized the Polish government.”

Here are some of the facts that Aldridge cited: “In the Polish camp there was a division into castes. The lower the position occupied by a person, the worse the conditions in which he had to live. The Jews were separated into a special ghetto. The camp was managed on a totalitarian basis... Reactionary groups waged an incessant campaign against Soviet Russia... When more than three hundred Jewish children were to be taken to Palestine, the Polish elite, among whom anti-Semitism flourished, put pressure on the Iranian authorities to deny the Jewish children transit... I heard from many Americans that they would gladly tell the whole truth about the Poles, but that this would lead to nothing, since the Poles have a strong "hand" in the Washington corridors... "

As the war drew to a close, and Poland was largely liberated by Soviet troops, the Polish government in exile began to build up the potential of its security forces, as well as to develop a spy network in the Soviet rear. Throughout the autumn-winter of 1944 and the spring months of 1945, while the Red Army launched its offensive, striving for the final defeat of the German military machine on the Eastern Front, the Home Army, under the leadership of General Okulicki, the former chief of staff of the Anders army, was intensively engaged in terrorist acts, sabotage, espionage and armed raids in the rear of the Soviet troops.

Here are excerpts from the directive of the London Polish government No. 7201-1-777 of November 11, 1944, addressed to General Okulitsky: "Since knowledge of the military intentions and capabilities of ... the Soviets in the east is of fundamental importance for foreseeing and planning further developments, you must ... transmit intelligence reports to Poland, according to the instructions of the intelligence department of the headquarters." Further, the directive requested detailed information about Soviet military units, transport, fortifications, airfields, weapons, data on the military industry, etc.

On March 22, 1945, General Okulicki expressed the cherished aspirations of his London superiors in a secret directive to Colonel "Slavbor", commander of the western district of the Home Army. Okulitsky's emergency directive read: “In the event of the victory of the USSR over Germany, this will threaten not only the interests of England in Europe, but the whole of Europe will be in fear ... Taking into account their interests in Europe, the British will have to begin to mobilize the forces of Europe against the USSR. It is clear that we will in the forefront of this European anti-Soviet bloc; and it is also impossible to imagine this bloc without the participation of Germany in it, which will be controlled by the British.

These plans and hopes of Polish emigrants turned out to be short-lived. In early 1945, Soviet military intelligence arrested Polish spies operating in the Soviet rear. By the summer of 1945, sixteen of them, including General Okulitsky, appeared before the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR and received different terms of imprisonment.

Based on the foregoing, I would like to remind our powers that be, who go out of their way to seem “punks” next to the Polish gentry, the characteristic given to the Poles by the wise Churchill: “The heroic character traits of the Polish people should not force us to close our eyes to their recklessness and ingratitude, which in for a number of centuries caused him immeasurable suffering ... It must be considered a mystery and tragedy of European history that a people capable of any heroism, some of whose representatives are talented, valiant, charming, constantly shows such shortcomings in almost all aspects of their public life. Glory in times of rebellion and grief; infamy and shame in periods of triumph. The bravest of the brave have too often been led by the most vile of the vile! And yet there have always been two Poland: one fought for the truth, and the other groveled in meanness ”(Winston Churchill. World War II. Book 1. M., 1991).

And if, according to the plans of the American Pole Zbigniew Brzezinski, it is impossible to recreate the Soviet Union without Ukraine, we should not forget the lessons of history and remember that the construction of the 4th Commonwealth is also impossible without the western lands of Ukraine.

Unfair saying. Because there are enough honest and sincere people among ordinary Poles. This saying fully applies to the Polish elite. It was she who was always distinguished by extreme predation, national swagger and stupidity.

The Polish hyena once again showed itself on the anniversary of the start of the Great Patriotic War, when the Sejm of Poland adopted amendments to the law on decommunization, according to which two hundred monuments to Soviet and Polish soldiers, supposedly "glorifying communism", are to be demolished.

I’ll say right away about the “hyena of Europe” ...
Now on the Internet you can find a lot of quotes from historical figures that they never said.
W. Churchill called Poland the hyena of Europe. I specifically climbed into his book "The Second World War" and found this statement.

Quote:
“And now, when all these advantages and all this help have been lost and thrown back, England, leading France, offers to guarantee the integrity of Poland - t oh Poland itself, which only six months ago with the greed of a hyena took part in the robbery and destruction of the Czechoslovak state.

Russian-Polish relations have a difficult history. People's memory has preserved whom Ivan Susanin drove through the swamps and on whose peaks he appeared in Moscow Tushinsky thief during the Great Trouble.
The famous partisan and poet, the hero of the war of 1812, Denis Davydov, declared enemy No. 1 in Poland during his lifetime, wrote:

Poles, do not fight Russians:
We will sip you in Lithuania and shit you in Kamchatka!

As you know, the Poles took an active part in the invasion of Russia by the "Great Army" of Napoleon.
But Denis Davydov could think anything, and the anointed of God - the Russian emperors bestowed the greatest caress and privileges precisely on those national territories that were most infected with Russophobia.

Even then, many memoirists noted a common Polish shortcoming - arrogance in luck and servility in defeats. These features national character Poles and used to the maximum the hyena of Europe - the Polish elite.

After the collapse of the autocracy in Russia, Poland gained independence not only de facto, but also de jure. And as soon as this happened, the hyena (Polish elite) thought: the corpse of which empire it should devour. The situation was favorable: Kaiser's Germany was in agony in the west, Russia was seething in the east.
Those who wanted to tear the meat of Germany were called the Piast line. Those who wanted to gobble up large chunks of Russia were also called supporters of the Jagiellonian line. Jozef Pilsudski was also a Jagiellonian.

In the same place, in Poland, the head of the anti-Soviet underground, Boris Savinkov, also settled.

In 1919, the Supreme Ruler of Russia Admiral Kolchak recognized the independence of Poland and proclaimed by the Provisional Government back in 1917. This is to the question of how the Bolsheviks "destroyed Russia", and the Belodelites fought for "one and indivisible." The white general Denikin (a Pole by mother) also favored Polish independence.

After that, on the territory of Poland, with the help of the Germans and Americans, they began to create white armed formations. At the end of March 1920, on behalf of the French Marshal F. Foch, General P. Henri developed a plan for Pilsudski's attack on Kyiv.
And this is the question of who was the real initiator of the Soviet-Polish war.

At first, the White Poles managed to capture Kyiv, but soon the Red Army launched a counteroffensive and the hyena moved back. On the side of the White Poles against Soviet Russia, the People's Volunteer Army of General S. Bulak-Balakhovich, the 3rd Russian Army of General B. Permikin, the Cossack brigades of Yesauls V. Yakovlev, A. Salnikov and combat detachments of B. Savinkov, created by the decision of the Polish General Staff, also fought .

The Orthodox clergy also actively helped the Pilsudchiks. The Poranna Courier noted:
“Regardless of political aspirations Orthodox clergy The Polish state will find great support in it in the fight against the Bolshevik anti-state agitation, the goal of which is to separate the Kres from Poland.

The hyena "thanked" her assistants - the Russian whites who remained in Poland were placed in Polish concentration camps at the end of the Soviet-Polish war.

"Thanked" and Orthodox priests - the Polish Catholic Church began to transfer religious buildings belonging to Orthodox Church, its lands, meadows, forests. By order of the president in 1927, 146,000 hectares of arable land and forests, which were in the possession of the Orthodox Church, were confiscated for the benefit of the state. Of these, later 73 thousand hectares were transferred to the Catholic clergy.
Traitors are not appreciated anywhere.

In order to replenish the treasury, B. Savinkov sent articles to Russian émigré newspapers describing the plight of “Russian heroes” in Polish camps, who “suffered the horrors of internecine war, froze, starved and lay in typhus on cold ground". However, his passionate appeals did not find a response in the Russian emigration.

In this sense, the White Poles differed little from the White Finns, who delighted in killing thousands of White Russians.

The Minister of Culture of Russia, Vladimir Medinsky, does not yet offer to erect a monument to Pilsudski.

What's strange!

The surviving whites later joined the ROVS and during the Second World War were massively used by the Nazis as saboteurs and punishers on the territory of the Soviet Union.
Now it is customary to recognize all states that became the target of German aggression during the Second World War as victims, but this is wrong.
The hyena has always been a hyena.

Since June 1934, information from the foreign department of the OGPU from an agent from the inner circle of Marshal Pilsudski began to come to the disposal of the country's top political leadership. The identity of the agent is currently not known for certain, but the information that came from him until the spring of 1935 was so serious and alarming that at the first report, Secretary General I.V. Stalin made a note with his own hand “Molotov, Voroshilov, Ordzhonikidze, Kuibyshev. I advise you to read it in order to discuss it later with the participation of the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs ", and next to them are their signatures, indicating familiarization.

In an extensive report, the source reported that influential military-political and financial-political groups were operating in the European international arena, coordinating the activities of potential aggressors - Germany, Japan and Poland. In France, this is the Tardieu-Weigan group, and in England, the Norman-Hailsham group.

The first tandem planned to come to power by secret means, abandon the policy of rapprochement with the USSR and conclude a pact with Germany. The second powerful duo coordinated from London the Franco-German-Polish rapprochement and the campaign to set Japan against the Soviet Far East.

Few people know, and sometimes it's hard to believe, but back in the 30s, Poland, together with Japan, developed plans for an attack on the USSR. On March 19, 1932, the foreign department of the OGPU informed I.V. Stalin, citing a source in the French General Staff, that in the autumn of 1931 two Japanese officers visited Warsaw, as a result of which a written agreement was signed between the Japanese General Staff and the Main Staff of the Polish Army.
According to him “Poland must be ready to draw the forces of the Bolsheviks upon itself when the Japanese begin to advance on the territory of the USSR.”

Soviet intelligence documents from the “personal archive of I.V. Stalin" testify that the secret Polish-Japanese military cooperation was carried out in three stages.

The first was in autumn 1931, when an agreement was signed between the Japanese General Staff and the Main Staff of the Polish Army, which provided for the diversion of the Red Army forces by Polish troops after Japan's attack on the Soviet Far East.

The second was in the summer of 1934, when Piłsudski received a letter from former Minister of War S. Araki confirming his readiness to attack the USSR at any moment if Berlin and Warsaw promised to join the aggression against the western borders the next day.

Finally, the third is the winter of 1934 - the spring of 1935, when there is some distancing between the Polish and Japanese military in connection with Piłsudski's attempt to reconsider the invasion of Polish troops at a later date.

Then the hyena tore pieces from Czechoslovakia, having been defeated by Germany in 1939, and in fact having lost statehood, the “Polish hyena” was preparing troops to invade the USSR on the side of Finland. And only the delay of England did not allow the hyena to bite the future liberator of Poland.

In 1939, after the start winter war The Polish government in London declared war on the USSR. When the "heroic" war between Poland and the Soviet Union ended, I did not find any information. But it is known that in August 1941 a military agreement between the USSR and Poland was signed. So on the territory of the USSR an army of parasites and chicken probes appeared - Anders' army, which, without firing a single shot at the Germans, was evacuated to the Middle East.

Then there was the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, when the hyena tried not to miss Soviet troops to Germany.

But besides the Polish hyena - its elite, there has always been a Polish people.

Here is how the Soviet translator Elena Rzhevskaya describes the liberation of the city of Bydgoszcz at the end of World War II:
“Six days after the liberation of Warsaw, our units captured the city of Bromberg (Bydgoszcz - in Polish) and went forward, pursuing the retreating enemy. The streets were unusually busy. The entire Polish population of Bydgoszcz poured out of their houses. People hugged, cried, laughed. And each has a red and white national flag on his chest. The children ran and squealed with all their might and were delighted with their own squealing. Many of them did not even know that their voice had such wonderful abilities, while others, those older, forgot about it during the five gloomy years of oppression, fear, lack of rights, when it was not even allowed to speak loudly. As soon as a Russian appeared on the street, a crowd immediately grew around him. In the streams of people, in the ringing of children's voices, the city seemed like spring, despite the January cold, despite the falling snow.

Together with the Soviet soldiers, Poland was also liberated by the soldiers of the Polish Army formed in the USSR. They fought the Nazis together, they died together.
After the war, monuments were erected on their often joint graves. Often with communist symbols.

Now the hyena will destroy these monuments.

I remember how, at the memorial in Katyn, the Russian president tried to hug the then Polish president, Tusk. But no matter where you hug Tusk, he has an ass everywhere!

Disputes over relations between Poland and Russia flared up with new force. I can not participate, especially since recent years thirty, we are constantly told about how small and defenseless Poland was attacked by two scary monsters- The USSR and the Third Reich, who agreed in advance on its division.

You know, now it has become very fashionable to compile various tops and ratings: ten facts about pointe shoes, fifteen facts about orgasm, thirty facts about Dzhigurda, the best pan coatings in the world, the longest-lasting snowmen, and so on. I also want to offer you my "Ten facts about Poland", which, in my opinion, you just need to keep in mind when it comes to our relations with this wonderful country.

Fact one. After the end of World War I, Poland, taking advantage of the weakness of the young Soviet state, occupied Western Ukraine and Western Belarus. The offensive of the Polish troops in Ukraine in the spring of 1920 was accompanied by Jewish pogroms and mass executions. For example, in the city of Rovno, the Poles shot more than 3 thousand civilians, about 4 thousand Jews were killed in the town of Tetiev. For resistance to the seizure of food, villages were burned, and residents were shot. During the Russian-Polish war, 200 thousand Red Army soldiers were captured by the Poles. Of these, 80 thousand were destroyed by the Poles. True, modern Polish historians question all these data.

It was only in 1939 that the captured territories of the Soviet army were liberated.

Fact two. In the period between the First and Second World Wars, small, defenseless and, as you can imagine, pure Poland dreamed passionately of colonies that could be plundered at will. As it was then accepted in the rest of Europe. And it is still accepted. Here, for example, is a poster: "Poland needs more colonies"! Basically they wanted the Portuguese Angola. Good climate, rich lands and subsoil. What, you're sorry, right? Poland also agreed to Togo and Cameroon. Looked at Mozambique.

In 1930, even social organization"Marine and Colonial League". Here are photographs of the Day of the Colonies celebrated on a grand scale, which turned into a demonstration demanding Polish colonial expansion in Africa. On the poster of the demonstrators it is written: "We demand overseas colonies for Poland." Churches devoted masses to the demand of the colonies, and colonial-themed films were shown in cinemas. This is an excerpt from one such film about the Polish expedition in Africa. And this is a solemn parade of future Polish bandits and robbers.

By the way, a couple of years ago, Polish Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna said in an interview to one of the largest Polish publications: “Talking about Ukraine without the participation of Poland is akin to how to discuss the affairs of colonial countries without the participation of their mother countries.” And although Ukraine was not particularly indignant, dreams are still dreams ...

Fact three. Poland became the first state to conclude a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany. It was signed on January 26, 1934 in Berlin for a period of 10 years. Exactly the same as in 1939 Germany and the USSR will conclude. Well, the truth is, in the case of the USSR, there was also a secret application that no one had ever seen in the original. The same application with a forged signature of Molotov and the real Ribbentrop, who, after the surrender of Germany in 1945, was held captive by the Americans for some time. The same application in which the phrase "both sides" is used three times! The same application in which Finland is called the Baltic state. Anyway.

Fact four. In October 1920, the Poles captured Vilnius and the region adjacent to it - only about a third of the territory of the Republic of Lithuania. Lithuania, of course, did not recognize this capture and continued to consider these territories as its own. And when on March 13, 1938, Hitler carried out the Anschluss of Austria, he desperately needed international recognition these actions. And in response to the recognition of the Anschluss of Austria, Germany was ready to recognize the capture of all Lithuania by Poland, except for the city of Memel and the area around it. This city was to enter the Reich.

And already on March 17, Warsaw presented an ultimatum to Lithuania, and Polish troops concentrated on the border with Lithuania. And only the intervention of the USSR, which threatened Poland with breaking the non-aggression pact of 1932, saved Lithuania from Polish occupation. Poland was forced to withdraw its demands.

By the way, I hope the Lithuanian people remember that it was the USSR that returned both Vilna and Memel with the regions to Lithuania. Moreover, Vilna was transferred back in 1939 under a mutual assistance agreement.

Fifth fact. In 1938, in alliance with Nazi Germany, small, defenseless, “long-suffering and peace-loving” Poland occupied Czechoslovakia. Yes, yes, it was she who started that terrible massacre in Europe, which ended Soviet tanks on the streets of Berlin. Hitler took the Sudetenland for himself, and Poland took the Teszyn region and some settlements on the territory of modern Slovakia. Hitler then received at his full disposal the best military industry Europe of that time.

Germany also received significant stocks of weapons from the former Czechoslovak army, which made it possible to arm 9 infantry divisions. Before the attack on the USSR, out of 21 Wehrmacht tank divisions, 5 were equipped with Czechoslovak-made tanks.

According to Winston Churchill, Poland "with the greed of a hyena took part in the robbery and destruction of the Czechoslovak state."

Fact six. On the eve of World War II, Poland was far from being the weakest state in Europe. It had an area of ​​almost 400,000 sq. km, where about 44 million people lived. Military treaties were concluded with England and France.

And therefore, when in 1939 Germany demanded that Poland open a “Polish corridor” for it to access the Baltic Sea, and in return offered to extend the German-Polish friendship treaty for another 25 years, Poland proudly refused. As we remember, it took the Wehrmacht only two weeks to deliver former ally on knees. England and France did not lift a finger to save their ally.

Fact seven. The introduction of the Red Army into eastern regions Poland on September 17, 1939, and to the Baltic countries in the summer of 1940, was produced not according to some terrible “secret pact” that no one had ever seen, but in order to prevent the occupation of these territories by Germany. In addition, these actions strengthened the security of the USSR. The famous joint "parade" of Soviet and German troops is just a procedure for the transfer of Brest-Litovsk to units of the Red Army. We can see the arrival of the Soviet reception contingent and some of the working moments of the transfer of the citadel thanks to the preserved photographs. Here is the organized departure of German equipment, there are photographs of the arrival of the Soviet, but there is not a single photograph that would capture their joint passage.

Fact eight. In the very first days of the war, the Polish government and the president fled abroad, leaving their people, their army still fighting, their country. So Poland did not fall, Poland self-destructed. Those who fled, of course, organized a "government in exile" and dried their pants for a long time in Paris and London. Please note that when the Soviet troops entered Poland, de jure such a state no longer existed. All nagging about Polish occupation I would like to ask advice: do you want the Nazis to come to these territories? To kill Jews there? For the border with Germany to come close to the Soviet Union? Can you imagine how many thousands of dead would be behind such a decision?

Fact nine. Poland's dreams of colonies, of course, did not come true, but as a result of bilateral agreements with the Soviet Union, as a post-war reparation, Poland received the eastern regions of Germany, which had a Slavic past, which make up a third of the current territory of Poland. 100 thousand square kilometers!

According to German economists, post-war period The Polish budget received more than 130 billion dollars from mineral deposits in these areas alone. This is approximately twice as much as all reparations and compensations paid by Germany in favor of Poland. Poland received deposits of black and brown coal, copper ores, zinc and tin, which put it on a par with the world's major miners of these natural resources.

Of even greater importance was the acquisition by Warsaw of the coast Baltic Sea. If in 1939 Poland had 71 km. sea ​​coast, then after the war it became 526 km. The Poles and Poland owe all these riches personally to Stalin and the Soviet Union.

Fact ten. Today in Poland, monuments to Soviet soldiers-liberators are massively demolished and the graves of Soviet soldiers who died in the battles for the liberation of Poland from the Nazis are desecrated. And they died there, let me remind you, 660,000. They even demolish those monuments on which there are inscriptions of gratitude from Polish citizens to Soviet soldiers. Even those that were cast in 1945 from the metal of German ammunition, specially brought from fallen Berlin.

Why am I doing this? Maybe we, like the tiger Amur, will already have enough to endure an annoying and arrogant neighbor who has completely lost touch with reality?
