  • The persecution, incarceration, enslavement and murder of the Polish people in occupied Poland is driven by ideological hatred for both Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, but it's also a personal matter for Joseph Stalin.

      Stop trying to create division with teachers and realize most people dont learn due to choices they make: shitty students choose to not listen nor engage. A good teacher can do all they can, but there’ll always be shitty students, and not it’s a teacher’s job to force students to make the right choices.

But if the Teacher deceides to teach the ancient Egyptians for 2 (!!!) years, the ancient greeks and romans for another 1.5 years and you just have 5 years of history class...you can imagine how this works - 1.5 years for the middle ages, the french revolution, the enlightenment and Martin Luther passing by the 30 years war.

But they could have won a smaller conflict. If they hadn't been so terrible at diplomacy and strategy to the point that making further concessions to Germany was (correctly) seen as totally pointless and idiotic, and if they had been willing to settle for more limited gains instead of trying to achieve total European domination in one blow (to an extent not seen since Napoleon's peak, and honestly not even then), they might have come out of this with the Danzig corridor and some other stuff after knocking out France, especially if they had destroyed the BEF. But for a 1000-year Reich they sure were impatient. Of course, they only valued flashy tactics and raw military power and big tanks, not caring for the more important but subtler bits like logistics and grand strategy and diplomacy.

      Very FEW people know that Hitler and Stalin were ALLIES from Aug 23 1939 until Jun 22 1941. Soviet Union was as much responsible for the outbreak of the war as Germany. But that truth is extremely uncomfortable for both Russians and Germans. Any time it is mentioned the Russians and especially comrade Vladimir Putin gets conniption fits!
      Without Soviet invasion Poland would have probably resisted much longer. By the 2nd week of the war Wermacht was starting to run low on ammunition the losses of equipment were greater than anticipated. Polish army was beaten down but not entirely defeated and still had ability to resist. Cold and rainy fall was approaching, something that is dreaded for the attackers but blessed by the defenders. Although without western help that war was lost anyway but it could have had lasted at least another month or two and mauled the Wermacht so much that it would have been unable to invade France the next spring.

    An update on the statistics (2009): the Polish Institute on National Remembrance’s estimation on the numbers of Poles deported to labour camps and those who died there are, respectively, 320K and 150K. The higher earlier estimates, at least according to Wiki, were due to an opacity of certain data sources (not least of which includes the secretive nature of the Soviet archives especially pre-1992).

      The same reason there is Wrocław, Śląsk, Pomorze i Gdańsk, not Breslau, Silesia, Pomerania and Danzig. Modern names in english. It's time to let go, Lwów isn't in our borders anymore and never will be. And you have got to understand that it is good thing. Nationalist nostalgia won't push our future forward. Borders should stay as they are now.

    The possible coup plot against Stalin? I don't think so. What would support this type of plotting would be some of those involved escaping the USSR, or at least attempting to. Think of it. They arrest your co-conspirator Tukachevsky and you know they'll be coming for you next....so you head for the border. What I think is amazing about Robert Conquest is how much he got right. In this case Stalin's game is more likely. Many of those purged by Stalin confessed to being British spies - where in London are the lists of 'the honored dead'? It's been 80 years since the purges.
    A possible future episode might be titled: What's Wrong About Comrade Stalin? and cover the speculation of his being an agent of the Tzarist Okran. From what little I know about the Okran it was a relatively small organization, probably impossible to infiltrate, but likely a lot of inside conversations instead of compartmentalization. Did any of its members survive, leave the Soviet Union and spill the beans? Were their similar Okran spies inside suspect organizations? Were they the typical dysfunctional low level lackey?
    As I understand it the best indication Stalin was in league with them is his multiple escapes from Tzarist prisons and his always returning to Georgia. Other Communists who escaped prison never returned to the area from which they'd been arrested. They would immediately be at risk. "Vlad. You're out? Already? Let's all go down to the station and make sure...." And of course Stalin would've had destroyed any records indicating his collusion, executed anyone who might know about it, and just in case....execute of anyone they might have mentioned it to. Of course there is the possibility that Stalin with the Party's knowledge was 'working' the Okran as a double. Are there other cases of this?

    Because I have cerebral palsy UA-cam is very important for me because I have the opportunity to learn different things without leaving my room and my wheelchair. I love history very much and history is my biggest love despite that I did not study history, but I decided to study international relations.
    I want to share my personal opinion about Joseph Stalin and his hatred toward Poland. For me the roots of this hatred lying in Polish occupation of Moscow in beginning of the 17th century. This occupation for the Russians are one of the biggest tragedies in their history and deliberation from Polish occupation is the reason of celebrating national unity because Russians and Tatars together organized uprising against Polish occupants and expelled them from most.
    As we all know Joseph Stalin was the pupil in Eastern orthodoxy seminary in Tiflis, present dayTbilisi and there was sort of probability that a occupation of Moscow was presented as Catholic attack on Orthodox Russia, in textbooks for the history. In Tbilisi seminary.
    Joseph Stalin simply was Russian imperialist who wanted split of Poland because he wanted to repeat role which had Catherine the great in Russian history.
    When I will Averell Harriman asked Joseph Stalin if he is satisfied with defeating of the Germans and liberation of Berlin Joseph Stalin replied, "no, I am not! Alexander I came to the Paris and I just managed to came to the Berlin.

      You're making the assumption that those territories were indisputably Belarusian and Ukrainian. At the time Eastern Europe was very ethnically heterogeneous. Ukraine and Belarus had been part of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth before they were part of the Russian Empire. There were Germans, Poles, Ukrainians and many other minorities such that many area's didn't have a clear majority. After the war those places only became homogenous because Stalin expelled minorities to other countries. So all the Poles living in what's modern day Western Belarus and Western Ukraine were expelled to the new territories Poland got from Germany. Stalin did this with the Germans and Hungarians as well.
