    I really hope that one day the west stops romanticising Russia. That country is run by the same organisation as 50 or 100 years ago. They murdered so many bright, talented and brave people. Millions.

  2. Propaganda. Pilecki was sent to Auschwitz on orders. Cyrankiewicz was already there and was part of the resistance. The Allies were aware of the conditions in the camp before Pilecki arrived; a resistance network already existed there and was not created by him. Pilecki was later ordered out of the camp. Cyrankiewicz, by contrast, remained there until the end.During the Warsaw Uprising, Pilecki was associated with the far‑right NSZ unit “Warszawianka.” The NSZ was known for shooting at Jews during the uprising, according to Samuel Willenberg, and Pilecki was accused of such actions in Mokotów, although this was never proven.Pilecki knowingly and willingly spied for London. He developed a Christ‑like martyr complex and became a propaganda hero of the far right, including football hooligan circles, while having zero impact on the outcome of the war or on the Polish People’s Republic (PRL).

  3. The saddest thing summarising many Polish feelings is what happened to him after WW2. Aushwitz was just heroic act of bravery, what Soviets did was just…well hence we hate colour red and anything related to it…as it carries no respect and value NIL to whatever it represents – pure repulsion.

  4. Nie no Burego to akurat lepiej nie wspominać, bo wrzucanie go do jednego worka z Pileckim to jedna z najbardziej obrzydliwych rzeczy jaką Instytut Propagandy Narodowej i prawicowcy robią polskiej historii, plując na nią.
