Originally born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other, and why has Bosnia and Russia become a century-old feud?

How did Poland and Russia bond?

Russians and Poles belonged to both Slavs, but due to the Great Migration, in terms of later ethnic genes, Russians belonged to the East Slavs and Poles belonged to the West Slavs. A brief history of the origins of the Slavs and Of Russia was elaborated in my previous article, and I will not elaborate on them here.

So the Russians and the Poles are actually brothers, except that the Russians are Orthodox and the Poles are Catholic.

How did these two brothers become enemies

In fact, in the early days of antiquity, there were many frictions between Russians and Poles, but not to the point of turning against each other. This is normal, when the brothers and brothers in the family will quarrel, and the real hatred is in the 16th century AD, Poland and Russia repeatedly fight for Belarus and other places.

Poland was the most powerful state in Eastern Europe at the time, having invaded Moscow twice in 1608 and 1611 and controlling much of Russia.

Russia's face must not be hanging on this matter, and being beaten up by others in his own home, from this point on, it can be regarded as a real vendetta.

Poland began to decline in the second half of the 18th century, and the Russian-Prussian partition of Poland three times was destroyed.

During the Napoleonic Wars, he was briefly restored with the support of France and established the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. After Napoleon's defeat, he was again divided up by the Opso, so he was destroyed again. It's really miserable.

Poland, which regained its independence after World War I, attempted to take advantage of the Russian Civil War to once again occupy Belarus, Ukraine and Lithuania in Russia and restore the borders of ancient Poland. The Soviet-Polish War officially broke out after the Polish occupied Belarus and Lithuania in 1919 and launched an offensive against Ukraine in April 1920. On 7 May, Poland marched straight into Kiev, and on 26 May the main force of the Red Army arrived and launched the Battle of Kiev. The battle ended in a great defeat for the Poles.

Through this fraternal war, the Soviets became even more hostile to the newly independent Poles. At the same time, the Poles saw the nascent Soviet Union as their greatest threat.

Poland, as one of the victorious powers of World War I, seized the Danzig region from the defeated Germans. This made East Prussia, Germany, an enclave that the moustache had always held in his heart. He once wrote viciously in Mein Kampf: "A Poland that dared to cut off and annex German territory is an unforgivable offense against the German nation."

The signing of the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact amounted to a death sentence handed down to poles. The opportunity for revenge for the Soviets finally came.

At 4:45 a.m. on September 1, 1939, a German army of 1.6 million blitzed Poland. On September 17, the Soviets, who had already negotiated with Germany to divide Poland, attacked westward across Poland's eastern border with 600,000 troops, on the pretext that the Polish ruling strata no longer existed. On 18 September, the Soviets met with the German divisions. On 19 September, 190,000 Polish troops surrendered to the Soviets.

After the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, the Soviets restored diplomatic relations with the Polish government-in-exile, released all Polish prisoners of war, and rebuilt the Polish army on Soviet territory.

On August 1, 1944, when the Great Soviet Counteroffensive was approaching the Warsaw area, the Poles wanted to liberate Warsaw themselves before the Red Army arrived, so as to avoid being controlled by the Soviets again. Ruyi's abacus was well played, but what they did not expect was that the German army quickly launched a crazy suppression of the rebel army. Even the moustache personally called the commander of the German troops in Warsaw to ask him how long the drama in Warsaw would last. The Germans, following the orders of the moustaches to raz warsaw to the ground, began to massacre the Poles in warsaw. The uprising ultimately failed.

The Warsaw Uprising stemmed from the news of the assassination of Moustache on July 21, 1944, when naïve Poles, believing that Germany had collapsed, hastily organized the Warsaw Uprising, with the organizers of the uprising believing that the exhausted German army would soon be defeated and that the rebels could quickly take Warsaw and gain a foothold.

Since the beginning of World War II, the Soviets joined forces with Germany to divide Poland, coupled with the centuries-old feud between the Soviet Union and Poland, the Poles did not believe the Soviets at all. Thus the Warsaw Uprising was waged behind the backs of the Soviets.

So when the Germans went on a killing spree, the Nearby Red Army did not rescue them on the pretext of not receiving any information about the uprising, but watched from the other side. As for whether the Soviets did not want to save or were powerless, it is really difficult to say.

And that's not all

On April 10, 2010, former Polish President Lechkaczynski's plane crashed near Russia's Katyn Forest. Ninety-six people on board, including the Kaczynskis and many high-ranking officials, died.

The Katyn Forest, where the tragedy took place, is even more sad for the Poles. Because the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs had solved about 20,000 Polish officers in 1940, 4,421 of whom had been killed in the Katyn Forest. Afterwards, the Soviets blamed the Germans, and it was not until the 1990s that the Soviets admitted that they had done the work.

So that's how the so-called feud between Russia and Poland came about. Who is right and who is wrong, you can tell your opinion in the comments section.
