Well then, flowers, hugs, and kisses given to the Red Army soldiers must've been the Czech and Polish way of telling them "Fuck off, we're waiting the American and British angels to liberate us". And the Russians mistook it for a welcoming committee.

Well if you ask me I'll tell you that soviets were much better for us than germans,(syberia instead of gas chambers) but still they were bad. When I asked my grandparents which occupation was worse they said that german but russians were "savage beasts", they died with burning hatred to russians few years ago. They hoped much from soviets (and thats from where all those kisses/flovers came) but they were quickly dissapointed by mass murder and deportation of opposition + occupation ended in 1991

Yes, a lot of people were disappointed in Stalinist methods, and rightly so. But if we're goig to look at it as hating Russians for the Stalinist system; be aware that Poland's elite attacked Soviet Russia in the civil war. So in that respect, that makes you about even.

Oh, after ... over 100 years of partitions and opression, constant rusification at schools? Later killing thousands in Gulags, Katyń, or just for being member of AK? Well I guess it makes it about even. I personaly have nothing against russians, I like the people but politics of Russia was always extremely hostile, even atm.

You're refering to the Russian Empire, the prison house of the peoples. Ironically, Poland's ruling class ended up fighting for its remnants, the Russian White Army. In Katyn, all those killed were not ordinary Poles; but military officers, politicians, police officers, and other right-wing elitist trash. Not condoneable, but no tears wasted. The AK were anti-semitic thugs whose only beef with the Nazis was that they were Germans.

Right-wing elitist trash? Your whole ideas are deeply flawed and biased. AK were patriots willing to fight for their country. You sound like some sort of soviet indoctrination spit-off. Read some sources that weren't controlled or manipulated by soviets. Look at wider perspective,try to understand history not only swallow soviet propaganda. Evaluate how ineffective your lovely country was and why all eastern block is currently 20 years behind the western "right-wing trash".вали отсюда!

Well, they didn't exactly say "buzz off, we're waiting for the Americans and British".

Soviet Union's invasion of Finland in November, 1939...
Soviet Union's invasion of Finland in November, 1939. Russians were convinced they could win the war in a matter of days. No one expected that tiny Finland could resist the highly mechanized Red Army, the largest military force in the world. And no one anticipated that 1939 would be one of the coldest winters in recorded history.During 105 days of intensely bloody and brutal combat, Finland improvised a devastating and deadly defense, for an environment historians have called a frozen hell. The Winter War changed the course of what would soon become World War II.
