Stalin got green light to annex Balitc states and attack (in other words - spread good news of communism) Finland.
You as a nation got time (1,5 year) and space (buffer lands) to prepare before ex-ally Hitler went for your throats in mainland Russia.
BS, as usual
ukranian and bellorussians say that the lands took by Stalin in 1939 was thier land stolen by Poland. Same logic.
Stolen by Poland from what country???==
From Russian Empire then Soviet Union.
Ukranians and bellorussians were the subjects of those above but when Soviet Union got dissolved in 1991 they got thier lands back. Certainly if Stalin didn't took them from Poland in 1939 and adjoined to Soviet Union, they got not them in 1991.
So from the points of view of Ukraine and Belorus Stalin did the right thing in 1939. Ukraine and Belorus are the most benefactors of Stalin actions.
Russia in opposite got nothing from it. But funny for you it is Russia who are resposible, am I right?:).
As far as borders are concerned I think Poland has the most just borders ever. Ironically, it was due to Stalin and communists.==
True. Poland got generously compensated in 1945 for lost in 1939 eastern lands, on account of Germans.
If not some guys (not you) cry out loud about 1939 we all just been in peace on this issue.
Let it be. No need to scratch still fresh wounds. ==
Agree.
The Putininsts on this forum will say that Poland invited in the Soviets. We all know that is a lie.
SCO plus CIS/USSR2 plus the new Latin American Socialist Union=big trouble for the West.
Indeed. God Bless America and the West.
This has been the essence of the entire "truce" ending the so called "Cold War." A key element has been the complete lack of any real punishment. Therefore, the same murderers, theives and monsters who have slashed their way through Europe and Asia since 1917 are still in positions of authority and power. They SAY they are reformed. They SAY we ought to do business with them and consider them to be new found friends. But does a tiger change its stripes?
I checked my old Polish-English dictionary.
Jaruzelski means, "Kerry."

I'm stunned to see that you have written this. I'm that suprised that I fell from my chair and am writing this message lying on the floor.

Independent Ukraine (not enslaved Ukraine by Russia)
Thank you! Now I see that nothing changed.
2.These are natural historical processes of waking of the national identities.
Actually the historical picture is more complex: ethnicities merge, split, are assimilated and assimilate others. Sometimes willingly, but generally forced or that are they who use force.
Yes, you fully convinced me that your opinion hasn't changed.
If Russia ever returns to imperialistic policy of the Soviet Union and tries to wipe Ukraine out from the map of the world, she will return to cold war again.
Have you read "The Jungle book" by Kipling?
