Poles are people that lie between liberal civilization relevance and being an actually strong sovereign entity. Poles desire both, yet come short of achieving either. They have almost zero scientific, cultural etc. achievements despite the country being one of the oldest ones in Europe and yet they also failed to maintain a sovereign Empire and are a mere vassal state of a an entity which is not independent itself. In economic and cultural domain Poles have Germany in the West, a single province of which completely eclipses everything Poland managed to discover and produce in its entire history. To the East, Poles have Russia, which while doing worse economically, completely mogs Poles in both political relevance and cultural/scientific domain. Poland, on the other hand, lies somewhere in between - it doesn't have the reputation of a civilized Western European, - its too poor, uncivilized and culturally irrelevant for that. And yet it also fails to live up to he reputation of a hardened "no bullshit attitude" Slav that is not to be fucked with. Thus Poles end up in this inter position where they are not the civilized West and not the brutal masculine East, but rather insecure lowbrows that failed building an Empire, threw in the towel and agreed to castration in exchange for donations from their former enemies.
Whence Polish Indian-like going back and forth between begging to be accepted by the West and trying to convince themselves they are superior to the East.
Poles will never forgive Russia for succeeding where they failed.
