    So basically, your whole argument is, “the graph is kinda sus and I don’t trust the source, probably russian propaganda, I hate Russia and I hate Nazis”. Not the strongest rebuttal in my opinion.

    No… and not even close. The graph led me to the study which has obvious flaws… But even IGNORING Those flaws… they themselves put up an argument of why the sentiment could have been this way… and it was because of the French leadership.

    but you can’t make the distinction between the Russian governments at different times and the nation as a whole.

    Nope, I can make that distinction. The difference here is that both in the past and present they’re monsters. During Communism they shit on Poland, and now they threaten Ukraine… our neighbors. I don’t NEED to make the distinction because it’s both cases. Where as with Gemany I have to make the distinction as they’re not currently ruled by the Nazi party.

    Suddenly you only go as far back as WW2

    No… That’s the context of this thread. I kept with the context. The fact that you have to keep shifting goal-posts and cannot continue the discussion under the same pretenses is a huge red flag.

    Never mind that the Bolsheviks granted Poland the legal right to secede in 1917 immediately after the October revolution

    So in 1945… what happened to Poland… since they legally succeeded from the USSR they were a free country again right? https://archive.org/details/polandsholocaust00piot/page/88/mode/2up Or did Russia actually completely fuck Poland (again) by undermining it’s legitimacy? Removing all previous influences and pulled them into the Soviet Union. Going so far as to kill thousands for no fucking reason other than they weren’t communist.

    It’s somehow all the fault of Russians after all, isn’t it?

    Nah, that just historic revisionism that pro-Russian people spout all the time. You seem to love changing time-frames all the time. So here… let’s end this stupidity.

    Which time do you want to talk about how Russia tried to fuck Poland? I’ve traced my roots back to the 1500s… I can possibly talk about a number of these wars.

    But it’s a general trend that Russia goes out of it’s way to Fuck the Polish people. Yet somehow this is Russophobia! Yeah get out of here.

      they’re monsters

      Great, now you’re not talking even of Russia as a country, but of Russians as a people, and calling them universally monsters, whether they’re peasants under the Russian Empire, workers in the Soviet Union, or citizens under the Russian Federation. Nice way to show everyone here that yes, your whole point here is Russophobia, not legitimate and credible analysis of history and societies.

      Again, as I said, impossible to discuss with most Polish people, you’re not arguing from reason but from nationalism and racism. Good night, and good luck

        Nope, I can make that distinction. The difference here is that both in the past and present they’re monsters.

        Nope again… Here’s the real context. We were talking about Russian governments. I stated that I didn’t need to make a distrinction, as it was clear that I was talking about the Russian government both past and present as I then outlined several issues that the government is the only actor in, not the people themselves.

        Try again.

        not legitimate and credible analysis of history and societies.

        And yet you’ve failed to address ANY concern I’ve brought up. Conveniently ignoring every premise I’ve brought up to counter your bullshit.

        Again, as I said, impossible to discuss with most Polish people, you’re not arguing from reason but from nationalism and racism. Good night, and good luck

        Uh huh… That’s absurdly funny as I’m actually a dual citizen. I’ve made no assumptions about you or your statuses, and yet you’ve made plenty about mine. But somehow I’m nationalist and racist. Look in the mirror. All you’ve done is attributed nonsense to me based on limited information, classical “racism”.

        Lets simplify this. Answer either one of these items… Remember both are cited questions.

        So in 1945… what happened to Poland… since they legally succeeded from the USSR they were a free country again right?

        1. How is your graph relevant or meaningful?

        So actually it looks like Russia propaganda in the 1940s thanks to De Gualle’s personal opinions on the matter.

        Edit: Keep in mind I even took the BEST of your comments… You seem to be under some belief that the USSR never committed atrocities and genocide levels of damage to Poland. You’re already wrong.

          In 1945, the soviets installed a friendly communist government in Poland, while granting it again the right to be an independent country, kind of proving that the objective from the start wasn’t “to conquer Poland because Russians are so evil”, but to not have enemies in their borders. There were purges of anticommunists as everywhere else in the soviet block.

          Now I’ll ask you: in 1989 and forwards, with the Solidarity movement. Do you believe that’s a grassroots movement which spawned purely in Poland, with the only goal of freedom and democracy, and wasn’t in any way influenced by other countries? Hint: USA? The 1989 “revolution” was completely autonomous and legitimate and now Poland is finally a completely free state?

          So actually it looks like Russia propaganda in the 1940s thanks to De Gaulle’s personal opinions on the matter

          Funny how the purported opinion of polish citizens about Russia isn’t affected by propaganda, but the french polls are somehow.

          You seem to be under some belief that the USSR never committed atrocities

          I never claimed anything like that. I’m aware of the Katyn massacre and the purges of anticommunists in the USSR on a widespread level, just not particularly against Poland.

          genocide levels of damage to Poland

          Sorry, only Polish people actually believe that. There’s no international body as far as I know which makes any claim of genocide towards Polish by the USSR.
