      *Why do Polish people hate Russians more than any other nation in Europe or probably in the World? I am a Pakistani, I live in America, and Polish and some Romanian people told me that Russians are assholes, but because Russians are usually nice with people of Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Siri Lanka, Egypt, and Morocco, therefore, it is hard for me to believe that Russians are assholes towards Polish, Romanian, Chechan, Tatar, Ukrainian, Czech, etc.*

I wonder if it makes the participants "a bit skeptical" about one another or if it is only about Russia?

      ⁠Your information field is 80-95% controlled by Western Soros foundations and a bunch of globalists from the USA. As a Russian, I am not at all interested in the Balts being under our boots! (Stalin was a Georgian of a different opinion, like Hitler’s ideology), Putin also believes in building a multipolar world after the collapse of the USSR, realizing that in the fight against Western colonialism only the unity of allied states defending their sovereignty, the national interests of the people and the state, such as Viktor Orban together with Hungary and others. Why doesn't he bend to the European Union? Because this obviously contradicts the interests of his state. Everyone who bends to America in one way or another has no opinion and regrets it later..
      On your television they will also not say why the Yankees are such scoundrels, that they are now, through their puppet rulers in the European Union, completely ruining the industrial base in Europe and moving production to the USA forcibly. They are also pushing Europeans to go to war with the Russians, just as they once sponsored Hitler! Their debt obligations are growing by trillions of $$$ every year and in order to have a reason to write them off, Biden and his bankers need a BIG war in Europe. Therefore, including on your Western TV, they pump you up with Russophobia, so that when the opportunity is convenient for them, they can manipulate you - send you to fight the Russians and liberate them from “dictator Putin”... thank you, we went through democratization in the 90s (with the complete collapse of the country and sovereignty !), just like Ukraine screwed up with Vicky Nuland’s cookies and survived the Maidan...The Poles/Fins and other Balts should sit quietly and then no one would even think of attacking you, you joined NATO when Russia could not object to its destroyed economy. Finland and Sweden in NATO do not particularly worry us - the population of all of Finland is less than one Russian city of St. Petersburg. 😅
      Either you live neutrally like Canada 🇨🇦 towards the states (satellite of the USA) in relation to the Russians..or the Russians will have a reason to respond if your politicians, such as the paddling pool Macron, lead armies against Putin and the Russians..

      A: She was under impression, having no other choice, but to go there. See, she needed a US visa for family reasons.
      US suspended all visa issuance in Russia, so Russians have to travel to an other country. She did not know, she could be (much) better off to travel to Belgrade, Serbia or to Ankara (Turkiye). The consular agreement between USA and Russia allows that. Instead, she felt being forced to travel to a country with 400+ years of political controversy. Little poor lady knew, the things are not as tough, as in imagination. And there is no need to travel to Warszawa if same thing can be done in Belgrade.
      The same goes the "other" way and if you notice in the comments Polish people are split on the topic.
      On my side I was never treated badly in Poland and the more I travel there, the more I like. I travel there very often because in order to reach Kaliningrad I have no choice, but transit through Poland. I did not feel any sympathy of Polish people towards my license plates (USA). Many are straight grimacing at them, sometimes even the border guards. When they learn that I am either Russian or Hungarian things improve dramatically.
      So my experience with Poland: the least popular country is probably US of A. But it never goes really bad, just you feel the shoulders being turned and see the grimace. Remember: if I drive my car, the word "USA" is literally written on my forehead. Even if the things are a bit different.

    "Remember that the soul of a Russian, if not every one of them, then almost every one, is consumed by a spirit of hatred towards every free Pole and the idea of a free Poland.
    They are capable of great friendship and will love you sincerely and warmly, like a brother, as long as they do not sense that you are a free person at heart and that you fear their love, which is dominated by a desire to care for you-in other words, to rule over you.
    This is an inherent flaw in their soul, hereditary and centuries-old, due to their servitude, the Tatars, Ivan, the oprichniki, and the ancient rebellions drowned in blood.
    If their own freedom is unattainable, the freedom of others evokes envy and disgust. For centuries, we have been too painful an example for them, a contradiction to their own fate. I fear that much time will pass before they understand that no one and nothing, except death, can take away our right to freedom..." Józef Piłsudski

    Sorry, but your comments sounds shallow and a little offending. Sadly, your country has long lasting tradition of toxic regimes and cruel colonial expansion and exploitation of other nations and it goes on. Poland was one of the victims. A Russian who is able to understand that will be always wellcomed. You don't like Warsaw? It's your right. But you should know, that apart from Hitler, Stalin is also responsible for destroying the city by waiting till Hiter's army devastate the city and kill 200 000 inhabitants during Warsaw Uprising. You are not responsible for that, but your attitude to your regimes counts, sorry. Forgive me for judging you too severely, because I know what kind of a country you live in.

      Some Russians and Ukrainians don't know their history. They don't know what they did to the Circassians, Tatars, the Siberian Turkic people, or the Japanese people after WWII. They were sinking civilian evacuation ships for fun. Russian Far East is full of people with partial Ukrainian ancestry, because Ukrainians were the vanguards for Imperial Russian colonization...and now they're being sent to Ukraine to fight many Ukrainians who have partial Russian ancestry. The Ukrainian faction was a influential political force in Soviet Union after Stalin, yet Ukrainians now claim they were under Russian cultural and political occupation and play the victim card.

Thousands of stolen treasures of our culture are still in Russia and many more you have simply destroyed. Parts of Poland once under your occupation are still underdeveloped, your destruction went so deeply that it is taking very long time to remove all the scars and wounds.

      ⁠Your information field is 80-95% controlled by Western Soros foundations and a bunch of globalists from the USA. As a Russian, I am not at all interested in the Balts being under our boots! (Stalin was a Georgian of a different opinion, like Hitler’s ideology), Putin also believes in building a multipolar world after the collapse of the USSR, realizing that in the fight against Western colonialism only the unity of allied states defending their sovereignty, the national interests of the people and the state, such as Viktor Orban together with Hungary and others. Why doesn't he bend to the European Union? Because this obviously contradicts the interests of his state. Everyone who bends to America in one way or another has no opinion and regrets it later..
      On your television they will also not say why the Yankees are such scoundrels, that they are now, through their puppet rulers in the European Union, completely ruining the industrial base in Europe and moving production to the USA forcibly. They are also pushing Europeans to go to war with the Russians, just as they once sponsored Hitler! Their debt obligations are growing by trillions of $$$ every year and in order to have a reason to write them off, Biden and his bankers need a BIG war in Europe. Therefore, including on your Western TV, they pump you up with Russophobia, so that when the opportunity is convenient for them, they can manipulate you - send you to fight the Russians and liberate them from “dictator Putin”... thank you, we went through democratization in the 90s (with the complete collapse of the country and sovereignty !), just like Ukraine screwed up with Vicky Nuland’s cookies and survived the Maidan...The Poles/Fins and other Balts should sit quietly and then no one would even think of attacking you, you joined NATO when Russia could not object to its destroyed economy. Finland and Sweden in NATO do not particularly worry us - the population of all of Finland is less than one Russian city of St. Petersburg. 😅
      Either you live neutrally like Canada 🇨🇦 towards the states (satellite of the USA) in relation to the Russians..or the Russians will have a reason to respond if your politicians, such as the paddling pool Macron, lead armies against Putin and the Russians..

      There is a bigger picture as well. Maybe your reasons are justified. Maybe not. Maybe 80% of "us" (now wearing my Russian hat, not the American and not the Hungarian) do support what you say (I am carefully avoiding the word "war", notice that!). Or maybe not.
      It is not that hard to figure out, one way or the other: more communication!
      Besides, with more communication you would have more chance to convince "us" that "we" are dead wrong.
      The opposite is also true: hell knows, maybe I convince you, that there is nothing better than Russia.
      I, too, need one thing to do that: meet with you.
      Now step back and decide for yourself: who did cut off all communication and make the travel for people as hard as possible both ways?
      As far as I see: the sanctions (esp. the travel sanctions) are incredibly easy to break. I travel back and forth, have no or little restrictions and observe. The poor lady who made this clip was suffering merely due her inexperience, not because it is impossible.
      You may remember the idiotic logic like "travel is luxury, why not prohibit Russians to travel?". Same logic was expressed multiple times by Zelensky himself and Ursula. (Do we "LOVE" them both!). Than the story behind the confiscation of cars. This is illegal, by the way.
      If you go back you see the roots: the people around Victoria Nuland. She is the undersecretary of State and a known neo-con.
      Why did Biden chose a hawkish neo-con to be his undersecretary of State escapes me. The rest of the story (Zelensky, Ursula, cars with Russian plates, partial suspension of Schengen, etc.) is just revolving around her. Luckily she will be gone soon (thanks to elections!) and let's see, maybe sound logic will prevail.
      Anyway: without contacts, travel and trade on all levels people get isolated and going to be stewed in own pot. And guess what will happen on higher level: they of course still trade with Russia - on their own level, behind of curtains. See Estonia. Isn't it corruption? They can - but we can't?

Normal barszcz (also called Polski or red one) is a soup based mostly on beet and its consistency is diluted to the point it's drinkable, while Ukrainian is something you probably know and think about your borschtsch HOWEVER it was called Ukrainian always since the ancient times here.

    From my experience in Poland, everyone I met had normal attitudes toward Russians. I talked with a lot of people about so many things. The only European country I visited and found anti-Russian sentiments was in Hungary, many years ago. I met people there with very strong anti-Russian sentiments. They were also a little disappointed with the United States for not saving them, under Soviet domination. This is why the situation with Orban today is so counter-intuitive. I hear he was he used to be strongly anti-Russian himself and only changed in recent years after visiting Moscow and Beijing and then receiving Russian investment and gas supply. Hungarians are a unique people in Europe but their anger toward Russia stems from brutal suppression under Soviet domination. They told me that literally every Hungarian stood against them and Russia overwhelmed them with massive military force. They tell me Russia had listening posts and microphones hidden everywhere to catch and abduct Hungarians who said anything that did not like.

There's nothing we can do about it in Poland, although you can be sure that if you come to Poland again she will be safe. We in Poland have no problem with the Russians, we just don't understand why you attack "friendly" nations. If Russian soldiers, who are Russians after all,
    they would behave towards Ukrainians as you do at the airport in Warsaw, I think you could get an American visa in St. Petersburg, and your bank cards would work throughout Europe. Judge for yourself whether I am a Russophobe - I am sure of one thing - I am Polish.

    If you want to be taken seriously, don't use the word "russophobic", not even jokingly. It is used exclusively in Russian propaganda and heavily associated with it. Also, having negative opinion of Russia is not the same as having negative opinion of Russian people (ie. being "russophobic"!). So you are drawing wrong conclusions from the statistics you referred. That said, many Russians support their government's policies or feel indifferent about it, so it's not like "russophobia" is totally unfounded. Personally I have a slightly negative attitude towards any random Russian, until he/she proves my prejudices wrong. I wasn't always like this.

      For any foreigners here, the adjective "ruski" also depicts anything Russian in informal Polish (as opposed to the formal "rosyjski"), much like "Russkie" has been used in informal English. It's been so for at least few tens of years (I'm not knowledgeable of the exact timelines here) with the formal and basic meaning of the adjective "ruski" still pertaining to all things Ruthenian (as in the Rus') though.

We simply call this soup borscht. Ukrainian borscht is not a name from the war between Russia and Ukraine, it's just how this soup has always been called in Poland. We simply live closer to Ukraine, so if you have some dishes in common, we take the name from where it's closer.

    I think it's good to read guidebooks, historical books, and curiosities before coming to Poland as a tourist. Borscht is also a 100% Polish dish. Borscht was traditionally made from an acidified plant called "borscht", we have many types of borscht. These are often holiday soups, made from rye, wheat and plant leavens. The roots go back to the Middle Ages. Ukrainian borscht is also a Polish dish, it comes from the area of "Ukraine", which in the times of the Polish kingdom was located between Podolia and Zaporozhye. In other words, "borderland" borscht.
    RUSKIE pierogi is also a traditional Polish dish, but it does not mean "Russian" or "Ukrainian" but "Ruthenian" - it comes from the areas of the indigenously Polish, Lechite tribes - the so-called Czerwień or Grody Czerwieńskie - and later Red Ruthenia. They were very popular in these areas, hence their name. In addition, we have many names of countries in our traditional dishes that are not known in the countries that bear this name :) For example, Lithuanian cold soup or Hungarian pie :) The names often come from the countries from which we imported products unusual for medieval Poland, for example example, paprika from Hungary. :) And Poland is not Russophobic. Poles have repeatedly supported and even built Russia. We have many distinguished names who developed Russia. Our concerns mainly concern the old times, when Poland was occupied by totalitarian regimes. We have the same feelings towards Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Austria, Prussia and other countries that have harmed us.

Only if you admitted in conclusion that the experience was surprisingly not bad at all, despite feeling uncomfortable from just being a russian in a russophobic country, i think there would be way less negativity in the comments. Either that, or you chose to be clickbaitey and controversial on purpose, if that is the case then i have to agree with the criticism. I'm also russian, and currently living and working in Poland, have experienced almost no discrimination in 1.5 years of living here. At the same time, i do feel "uncomfortable" all the time from just being allowed to live here, simply because of the crimes my country is doing and my inability to change it. It can feel especially bad from reading some things polish politics have to say about not only russians but the immigrant ones specifically, also from reading other immigrants' experiences who were less lucky than me. Needless to say, it is nothing compared to what Ukrainians have to go through. In my conclusion, russophobia (or russorealism as some named it) does exist, but i feel that most of the time, it is on a level that ranges from understandable to deserved.

    Québec's national dish is literally called, "poutine." There was talk of changing the name to "Zelensky" (I'm not joking) but then people said, let him (V. Putin) change his name, not our famous dish LOL. I also think people would have had a hard time spelling it... I really enjoyed you telling of your encounters. 👍

      I refuse to call "pierogi ruskie" as pierogi "ukraińskie". It's a traditional Polish dish coming from a region in first Polish republic called "województwo ruskie". It has nothing to do with Moscow's Russia.

      I am often in the car line between Poland and Russia, on the "noman's land". There are usually Russians living in Europe, sometimes people from Belarus and Ukraine. After few minutes political disputes start. Names like Zelensky or Putin rarely if ever mentioned.
      Instead, everyone is talking about Ursula and Orbán. There is something special about them, I guess.

    "Pierogi Ruskie" comes from region of Ruś - Red Ruthenia in english . Region borderline of Poland and Ukraine not Russia.
