Poland fails to learn from history.
Poland attacked the Soviet Union in 1919, taking land that was ethnically mixed. Allied itself with the West to save the west from the barbarians of the East.
Their nationalism and feelings of victimhood makes them ignore their failure to fight fascism in the 30's, Refusal to talk to the Soviets about fighting the Germans together.
The Polish leaders held the Russian Army in contempt and thought they could take on the Germans in 1939 with the help of the French and Brits. Even though together they had been party to the destruction of the Spanish Republic and Czechoslovakia
Why did they think the French were prepared to save the Poles?
In fact it was the Russians who saved Europe from the Barbarians not the other way round, taking on 80% of the German Army and defeating it.
The Russians liberated Poland and put radicals in charge not the Catholic anti-semitic nationalists of pre war time.
They gave Poland the stable borders of today.
The abolished unemployment, gave equal rights to woman, expanded free higher education for all, build houses and abolished homelessness. Produced Polish books, plays, theatres, music and films which became famous though out the world.
There where negative sides too, but as they are screamed out from every mass media outlet everyday, I will just point out the positive.
