Russia

Although the provision of self -defense funds seems currently expensive, this is a small price compared to the potential devastation, which Russia, emboldened, would have gifted the Western world with if it was allowed to have an uncontrolled and free further expansion.

During World War II, there was no event as significant as the Tehran Conference. It programmed the political consequences of this great conflict.

As the Ukrainian-Russian conflict continues, Western nations grapple with the high costs and strategic implications of continued support for Ukraine. “War fatigue” is evident.

The Border Protection Corps (Korpus Ochrony Pogranicza, KOP) was established one hundred years ago, on 17 September 1924. For exactly fifteen years, until the USSR attacked Poland in 1939, it guarded our eastern border. Given the continued threat to our security, it is worth noting this unique military formation.

Today is the 85th anniversary of the Soviet aggression against Poland. On September 17, 1939, in the early morning hours, the Soviet Union attacked Poland by force of arms. In this way, Stalin fulfilled the August secret agreement with Hitler (the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact).

Failure of the Kursk operation could lead to escalation of the conflict, huge losses in people and equipment, and a dramatic deterioration of the situation on other fronts. This is a big stake and the Ukrainian leadership has put a lot on one scale. We will see if it was right.

Although Russia has officially acknowledged the perpetration of the Katyn massacre, this truth is virtually absent from Russian historiography today. For it does not fit into the myth of the great victory of the war, any more than the Hitler-Stalin pact of 1939, the mass deportations, the enslavement of the Baltic republics, or the colossal scale of the Red Army's marauding in the final phase of the Second World War.

The Ukrainian offensive in Kursk Oblast began on August 6, 2024, and was a surprising step for both the Russians and Ukraine's allies. It was the largest operation conducted by the Ukrainian armed forces on Russian territory since the beginning of the war.

Today, Poland is a key country on NATO’s eastern flank, a defender of the EU’s eastern borders and a haven for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who have fled Russian aggression.

He was supposed to be a military man, but the uniform was not his calling. He discovered and introduced to the world some 60 unknown species of flora and fauna. Georgians owe him a unique national park and remember that he was responsible for the creation of what was then Russia's first nature reserve. In Poland, however, Ludwik Młokosiewicz remains completely unknown.

We now move to the 20th century and examine the efforts of Roman Dmowski and Marshall Jozef Pilsudski as they attempt to establish an independent Poland while maintaining pragmatic relations with Russia.
