Comrade Felix Dzerzhinsky returned home . We missed you...
SVR chief Sergei Naryshkin praised Dzerzhinsky as a "symbol of his time" and a "standard of crystal honesty" during the unveiling ceremony on Monday.
"He remained true to his ideals to the end -- the ideals of goodness and justice," Naryshkin said
Polish people were influential in creating the Soviet Union. I hate how our history is rewritten as to denounce this past in favor of the proto-fascist second polish republic. The Polish Bolsheviks are forgotten and so is the people's army, but at least prominent figures like Feliks and Róża have made names for themselves to be internationally recognized by communists.
Was it a vassal of Germany ?
No. Poland gained independence in 1918 after 123 years of not existing on a map by being partitioned.
The polish ruling class will tell you that the partition happened because of the foreign destroying Poland from the inside, but really our nobility has a long standing tradition of selling our country for a pack of cigarettes.
After 1918 we were an independent country of which borders were actually historically remade and we fortunately didn't get the British treatment. And also the whole thing was a fucking mess.
