| Direct Translation via Google Translate. by Oleg Airapetov [REGNUM] One of the most hostile neighbors of the Soviet republics, and then the USSR, was Poland. The end of the First World War gave her a chance for a revival. Already on November 10, 1918, under the influence of news from Berlin, where the revolution was going on, the German garrison began to be disarmed in Warsaw. The pockets of resistance could not change anything. Soldiers' Soviets were formed, the army wanted to return home. |

| #2 ...Sadly, the Poles weren't so much interested in peacefully rebuilding their nation after a few centuries as they were interested in Revenge(TM). Winston Churchill may have said it best about the land of my fathers: "There are few virtues that the Poles do not possess...and there are few mistakes they have ever avoided." Mike |
