Well, that topic got me qute interested so I decided to register. :]
LoF: The thing is that I'm from Poland and I know probably a bit more about history of my country than you, and the problem is than you are terribly mistaken. Your political opinions, as i suppose (because it's quite common for people with your way of thinking), comes from knowing just partial facts and trying to fit them together so that they will make any sense. It's that simple, nearly every person like you starts to think this way due to lack of knowlegde. And I can help you quite easily too, because one of a great number of benefits of not living in communist country is that you have free access to knowledge and no propaganda will make it harder for you to understand. You just have to start being a bit open-minded for facts and here they are
- I recommend that you read something about Katyn massacre before you start speeking about it, so the easiest way to do this is to read that:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre
- And read that beacuse as I see you don't know everything about Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact (if you are bored you can go straight to section 4 "The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and its secret protocol")
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80...secret_protocol
Dividing a country by two aggressors doesn't look like simple non-aggression pact right?
And Katyn massacre was actually act of betrayal.Yes, we and ZSRR were officialy one of allies forces, and people killed in Katyn weren't any "so-called Polish resistors against Soviet imperialism", because they thought that ZSRR are actually coming to help them against germany. So they were told not to shoot at Soviet soldiers. Soviet soldiers were the first to shoot, so how can you not at least try to ressist in such a situation? They we're captured and send to Katyn (wich btw. means something like "Butcherness" in polish so Soviets had some "dark humour" too) and killed 1 year later.
It's never to late to start learning history and stop being ignorant. If you don't believe Wikipedia you can always check some books...
