Why do Polish people hate to be called Eastern European?

only in eyes of people who believe in all this Soviet-Polish friendship bullshit. Half of my relatives was erased by the Soviets and you're trying to tell me how I'm supposed to feel about "your friends"?

What is stupid is who are you blaming for Soviet occupation. Armia Ludowa influence on Poland was negligible. The fate of Poland was sealed at Yalta.

If they wouldn't help the Soviets, there wouldn't be a pro Soviet Poland. The Soviets would be forced to officially occupy Poland if they wanted to control it. That occupation would have most likely lead to massive protests in the west and who knows what else would have happened. Maybe we wouldn't have to suffer for so long to become what we are right now, a free country.

So are you saying that Soviets didn't occupy Poland and regular Soviet NKWD units didn't have regular battles with Polish democratic partisants? The handful of Polish communists and traitors wouldn't stand a chance without Soviet military support.
"massive protest in the west" - good joke :D
They knew exactly what was happening in Poland. They agreed to it, in Yalta.
If Katyn didn't convince Britain and USA to protect Poland from Soviets, then what would?

what are you talking about? Did you understand anything I said at all?
Of course I said that they occupied Poland. This is exactly what I was saying.

[quote=MyMom They knew exactly what was happening in Poland. They agreed to it, in Yalta.


of course they did but Poland became a part of the Warsaw treaty and so called free country, there was absolutely nothing the west could do about it unless they would risk another world war. That's why I said:

"If they wouldn't help the Soviets, there wouldn't be a pro Soviet Poland. The Soviets would be forced to officially occupy Poland if they wanted to control it. That occupation would have most likely lead to massive protests in the west and who knows what else would have happened.

Take your time and read it slowly and maybe we won't have this misunderstanding.

Don't you think that the answers to the question might be different after over 4 years?
