Very interesting. Poles and Ukrainians would point out that history did not begin in 1920 or 2014. Overlooked in your essay are the brutal, dehumanizing partition of Poland, and Russia's less-than-gentle treatment of their "little brothers" throughout the years, especially the unfortunate mass, deliberate starvation in the early '30s.

US Americans, I fear, will soon get to experience some of this first hand, as our traitorous ruling class sides with (and deliberately stokes resentment among) minorities and migrants.
Poland’s history is complex. A proud and brave people who were often pawns in other greater powers plans. Their blind trust in the British and hubris rooted in fervent nationalsim was used against them. Their treatment by Communists was far worse than Germans, though not without reprisals for their mistreatment of Germans which is more the point of this post that is never taught in Western 'official history'. They certainly weren't innocent victims or bystanders and maintained an unreasonable stance on a city that cost them their nation for fifty years...again. But the nationalist Poles today are wiser, recently telling that Israeli rat puppet Blinken to get lost, "take a hike! young Poles will not be sacrificed for your wars."
Yes, Polish resentment for the Russians is off the charts. Solzhenitsyn would point out that it wasn't the Russians, but there was bad blood between Poland and Russia before the Communists walked on history's stage.
Sadly for Poland, they have tied their future to the dying, perverse American Empire. Young people in Poland are no different from their morally broken brethren in western Europe and the US. Poland would have been better off siding with their fellow Slavs to the east, but righteous anger over the previous 45 years made it impossible.
Pope JPII was deeply saddened that Poland had pushed away from Communism only to embrace the worse aspects of western "freedom."
Well said and sadly true. I even tried to broach this with Poles while living there but there were few minds open beyond what entered the ear canal. Their last election of a year ago was sketchy. A globalist new party akin to Macrons en Marche emerged out of nowhere months before, completely astroturfed to lure young people away from the nationalists to give the globalists their historical pawn back. Now that lispy retard Tusk is back in the driver seat. No elections are free and fair anymore.
Yet another tragedy unfolding for a country grown accustomed to them over the last few centuries.
"Poland is Not Yet Lost," so says its national anthem, but in all its tragic history, Poland has never faced an enemy as ruthless and evil as the globalists. They're coming for all of us.
The globalists are an old enemy they've faced before, I believe. Weall have, I guess, for a long time. The Treaty of Versailles implemented a Saturday Sabbath in Poland, if I remember correctly, which must have raised some eyebrows in Catholic Poland.
I was struck reading GC's piece about the prominent role played by propaganda and inflammatory rhetoric. I'll bet it was of the "let's you and him fight" variety.
When you wrote that phrase - let’s you and him fight - a couple of posts back on your stack, it was one of those truisms that is like the proverbial lightbulb moment. I’ve been using it ever since in comments and private face to face conversations.
Democracy can probably work in small, homogeneous places deciding whether to repaint the bleachers at the high school, but it clearly has not worked for us. 58 standing ovations in an hour for the bloodiest war criminal on the planet? Stick a fork in it.
Orthodox Russia was resented by Catholics in the West. This one reason is at the core of the trouble, and it is coupled with geouwish banksters resentment of Russia and you can conclude the reality of the current hysteria.
Bankers' resentment of Russia does play a large part in this current strife. They have little regard for the Ukrainians, too, whose lives they are profligately spending to strike at their ancient foe. Two Slavic peoples dying like flies. Win win, for the bankers.
You're right to say, "Poles and Ukrainians would point out that history did not begin in 1920 or 2014," but it is even more complicated than that.
It's not really correct to say that Russians starved the Ukrainians during the Holodomor. It was Jewish Bolsheviks who pulled that off - at both the leadership level (Lazar Kaganovich), and the level of implementation (75% of the Cheka members who were confiscating grain and food from the Ukrainian peasants were Jews). Stalin was not a Russian, but an ethnic Georgian.
The same pattern of Jews and non-Russian ethnics suppressing both Russians and Ukrainians holds for the entire early Soviet period. Russian peasants were also starved to death by the Bolsheviks.
It all gets pretty messy, because the "locals" do get involved in doing the bidding of the evil overlords. For example, some Ukrainian peasants were ratting out the wealthier peasant farmers among them, known as Kulaks, to Soviet authorities in the late 1920s. I just mention this by way of example - you could probably rhyme off half a dozen more examples of the same kind of thing.
I think there are two things that underlie the problems in these situations - evil leadership (obviously), and what I would call "covetous underlings" who take advantage of a short-term opportunity to screw people they envy.
It's a long conversation, and not an easy one. But I am heartened that thanks to substackers like GC and commentators like you, these issues are being discussed more openly and honestly.
What really confounds me is that modern-day Ukrainians seem to lack the wisdom to see that Zelensky - a Jew being backed by other Jews (Soros, Nudelman, the list goes on) - is leading them down a very harrowing path. Ethnically, Ukrainians and Russians hail from the same Slavic group, whereas Jews have by and large traditionally been a kind of predator class within both societies.
The Biden inauguration was loaded with symbolism. Harris dressed in purple, most people completely ignoring Biden and giving recognition to Harris. I was surprised to not see Biden ousted out of the office early and get her in, but her time may yet come. But it was the Latino Jennifer Lopez singing “this land is your land, this land is OUR land” that caught my attention. At the time it seemed like predictive programming, that the Latinos would soon be making this their land. Then it was Garth Brooks singing Amazing Grace (can’t recall if he performed before or after Lopez). He was the image of a white (himself), Christian (amazing grace), American (the cowboy). When he finished his song, he bolted off the stage, as though to predictively project the flight of the white Christian male in America.
And that’s the point of so much of what is being done overtly with the immigration invasion throughout western Christian countries.
As the russian empire went violently into communism - there were no "two different people" that one of them could deliberately starve the other. They were all russians under communist rule and hungered together.
Ukraine is a founding member of the ussr that they so strongly condemn to be "all russian", even though throughout the years "ukrainians" were staunch participants and high up members of the USSR, with at least two party leaders coming from there.
Fun Fact: The borders Ukrainians love so much as Ukraine were randomly drawn by Lenin as purely administrative borders.
Btw, in almost 3 generations noone cared for the starvation, until it was useful to fuel hatred for people not involved it whatsoever.
Don't forget the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth of the 16th century. The Poles had their era of conquest and subjugation of foreign peoples too. No country is completely innocent and blameless once you look at their total history.

Can anyone say, Democracy Now aka NGO's. Kicked out of Russia I believe.

I'm curious as to what the worse aspects of western "freedom" are? I argue that they are not freedom at all but license.
Indulging in all manner of vice.

Serbia 2.0 coming our way
Two things about the "targeted starvation":
As the russian empire went violently into communism - there were no "two different people" that one of them could deliberately starve the other. They were all russians under communist rule and hungered together.
Ukraine is a founding member of the ussr that they so strongly condemn to be "all russian", even though throughout the years "ukrainians" were staunch participants and high up members of the USSR, with at least two party leaders coming from there.
