Look at this video clip, listen to this great music:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XywSEhJ1mI&NR=1&feature=fvwp

"Farewell of Slavianka" is a Russian march composed by Vasily Agapkin just before ww1.
Melody and very patriotic or rather nationalistic lyrics became an unofficial anthem of Kolchak's White Army.
Even Soviets decided to use the composition for propaganda 1941 (having on the beginning some problems with its "czarist" roots).

As far everything easy to understand.

Now we have to use YouTube again:

"Rozszumialy sie wierzby placzace" was a favorite march of the anti-communist and anti-Russian Polish Home Army (AK).
It was adopted for Polish partisans already after Katyn crime, with some new lyrics but being fully aware of its Russian imperialistic background.

Even me, Borrka, visiting Russian glubinka use to ask the local band to play Proshchanye Slovianki for me.
But first after several drinks and being in highly patriotic mood lol.

Ohhh, I can imagine this picturesque scene..... One thing I cannot understand, why you are still alive? These Russian provincial bands, knowing what are you singing inwardly to the accompaniment of their patriotic music, might have picked you up on pitchfork...

well - even if they new the text they wouldn't mind singing it - cause it is in no way anti Russian - there is actually no mention of Russia/ns in the text, neither there is of Germans, communist etc - I recommend you get a translation of it
the only thing is that the song was popular among the AK

by the way I like the original song even better - after all it has been written to the melody of Russian language

What? Do you say that this ersatz-song dose not contain even a word about Russia? Do you understand that exactly this fact serves a perfect prove of its Russofobic context? It might have meant only one thing! Those who sing it, has ani-Russian, cruel intentions in mind!

I would rather be proud someone trying to "copy" something from my own culture, for instance the Jugoslavias anthem. Allmost identical as the Polish one!

in a circles of ultimate and true Polish elite Serbia and Yugoslavia- that was created in 1918 was seen as realm of old Polish warlords/kings and embrio of future southern Poland`s territory (read part of Great Sarmatia). Serbs were key Polish player in this but, German (Croatia) and Turkish (Muslims of Bosnia and Kosovo Albanians) elements inside of Yugoslavia destablized country. Germany then managed to move complete EU/NATO (which culmination was in 1999) against Serbs and defeated them.

Sure, I want. For instance, I have a dog, his name is "Dar" (Gift). In any case I don't want to be a dog generally, but in the morning, you will not believe me, I am jealous of his profound sleep...Each morning I want to be a dog...the same is with my desire to be Pole.

Yugoslavia was OK - a strong Slavic country in the south. Much better than all those
tiny statelets that are there now :(

However, as far as I remember Russia didn't do much to stop NATO from bombing
Serbia and prevent the dismantling of Yugoslavia. Or did they do anything substantial?

We are doing, even now, much more than Serbia itself. We will never recognise Kosovo as independent state; though I don' have the same assurance concerning Serbia

listen, that would be correct. Its a scientific fact

Serbia is now satelite dominion of NATO, under occupation. Soon, EU would anex us. So, what you expect?

Russians didn`t come to help us. Russia prefered peace with `German reich and friends`. Then, first time in history, Poles arrived on the Turkish and German side. What should Serbs do now?

Later, some Gavrilo Princip would arise, again. No doubts about that. One day

Ha-ha... good1 :)) well... being Russia is a diagnosis in a way.

Boria is there a translation of your song anywhere?

They fed Serbs with promises of sending S-300 (anti-aircraft missile complex). Of course they didn't send them, that would be a suicide.

CK, Bob Dylan said it very well in his song, 'The Times, they are a' Changin', when he said "don't criticise what you can't understand".

Do you really understand Poles or do you have some form of superiority complex?

It is not that honesty, personal courage, pride, and artistry have no value in my eyes.... But, all these merits, quite valuable taken separately, are blended in Pole in such wrong way that transform him to his own caricature...

Oh, Seanus, please don't say that my english is too clumsy to understand it...

Be that as it may, but Poles have such specific demeanour that each act of his generosity, each piece of virtue looks in him like base antic...He is always excessive, always shallow; he is like magpie

Not at all, CK. I believe that when you make profound statements, you should put some more flesh on the bones. Magpie? (sroka?) What do you mean? They have a skewed concept of virtues?

Always excessive? I know many moderate Poles. Shallow? In what way?

Don't expect them to be like us Scots ;) ;) ;)
