>>512057230>Katynthat's not ordinary people but people connected to the state, not that I justify it in any way, it was a very cruel decapitation of part of the statehood
happened before 1941 and after invasion Soviets were desperate to cover it up and knew they fucked up. Years later they apologized for that.
>RussificationThat's Russian Empire, not USSR, there was no Russification. Poland wasn't part of USSR.
>That doesn't seem like "rebuilding Poland"Frankly speaking Poland was rebuild by Poles but at least Soviets didn't disturb, which is a stark contrast to German occupation.
>Oh and by rape I meant they both destroyed parts of Poland and polish society, aka "raping of Poland".You don't realize that if it wasn't for post-war reshuffle of Europe and Poland ending up on Soviet side, we would never be able of successfully get rid of Jews from Poland. Poland is now the least Jewish country in Europe and used to be some of the most Jewish. That has tremendous postive consequences for us.
Most people just don't realize that because they are just stupid and narrow minded, most people like to think black and white and don't really dive deep into the complex reality and how nuanced everything is. We really could end up far far worse than what it was.
