Context: Local high school visited Warsaw and now there's controversy about it in the Estonian sub. Thing is, there are still similar 'tours' in Estonia too – schools from England, Ireland etc visit Estonia to practice Russian.

  1. Honestly? They do not belong here. This is Poland, not “Priwislinskij kraj”.

  2. I imagine very few people will actually care. Contrary to the memes we don’t actually hate Russians in general, only some particular ones.

  3. People of russia are not the problem. Problem is goverment and their brainwashing progaganda. People that live in poverty and overall shithole are more prone to belive in progaganda. I feel sorry for those who belive in that and for others that picked to be an asshole they can be thrown into a lava or something. Main hate should be thrown at the goverment not really the people

  4. Your best friend might be Russian, your lover might be Russian, your kids might be Russian-I don’t give a fuck. We’re all people in the end. But start praising the great matecka Rossiya, and I’ll knock you out cold

  7. It’s ok, it’s a free country. As long as they don’t support the Russian regime 

  8. It’s much better for them to get to see our country for themselves insted of being fed some lies by state media.

  9. It’s just a language and culture trip. Are you also surprised the uni of warsaw still offers degrees in Russian language? As long as people don’t behave poorly during their trip I don’t see the issue. Stop trying to generate outrage.

  10. I couldn’t care less. It’s not like they’re doing anything wrong.

  11. 1. It’s an Estonian school, and there’s a lot of Russian speakers in Estonia. Sure, a lot of them identify with Russia (despite not wanting to live there lol) but you can’t just assume everyone does
    2. Since “Russian language” seems to be the trigger here, remember that it’s also the first language for many Ukrainians

  13. Why are Russians admitted travel to Poland? Didn’t Poland experience Russian presence and what it brings already? Especially as Poland is considered by majority of Russians as a country next on the list

  14. It’s so nice to see normal comments instead of hatred.

    I’m more worried that it’s controversial in Estonia.

  16. I obviously can’t speak for all the 37 million people that live in Poland but, for me, I don’t hate on people just for being Russian, I hate the oppresive regime that exists there and its actions, especially in Ukraine. Russians are just as human as every other nationality and shouldn’t be discriminated just for where they live

  17. If they identify with Russia, maybe the school trip should be heading in eastern direction?

  18. No problem, but it is kind of weird to visit non-russian speaking country to practice Russian? On the other hand, kind of understandable if those are two russian learning schools organising a meet-up.

  19. As a Pole, I always say that we have to make business with anyone we can trade with. If there are customers, why not to sell?

  20. Generally, based on discussion with my colleagues, Poles don’t hate Russians, we hate Russian gov. Regardless of time period

  21. The day ruzzians blew Kakhovka dam UN has tweeted “Celebrating the Russian language day”. Now every time I see any event associated with ruzzian language, I associate it with the blown dam, flood and ecocide, not mentioning other ruzzian atrocities.

  22. Even if we were to be angry about Russians visiting our country (i personally am not; as long as they leave their guns on the border 😋 but seriously, not every Russian is a Putin supporter, so i am giving individuals benefit of the doubt until they prove they don’t deserve it), not all Russian speakers are from Russia.

  23. Russia may be at war but a lot of its people aren’t?

  24. Nie wiem czy dobrze rozumiem. To są Rosjanie przyjeżdżający do Polski i to się znalazło na Estońskim forum czy to są studenci z Estonii studiujący rosyjski którzy przyjechali do Polski? Chyba to drugie, nie?

  25. If we could do a 100% lifetime ban on entering Poland on anyone that has a russian passport that would be great.
    I don’t need them to learn about Poland, I don’t care what they think. I don’t care if they are “one of the good ones” and especially I don’t care if they have any “useful skills”. We need to discourage them from settling here, make them feel unwelcome. Nobody wants a war with russia in a few years because the russian minority need rescuing.

    I want to forget that shithole they call coutry exists. Just stay there and shut the f up. Go visit North Korea or drink a glass of vodka. Just stay away.

  26. ok, i see no problem here? why woul I ahve anything against people visiting my country?

  28. There are actually a lot of russians comeing to poland since 2022

    They just say they are Russian speaking ukrainian and hide thair flags on car planes

  29. wtf? there are huge russian speaking minorities in other countries like estonia, who have no connection to the russian government’s actions. a language is not responsible for crimes in any state. forcibly erasing a language is crazy and harmful. i say : let these students have a tour in their preferred language

  30. Even if someone is so anti-russia that they don’t want any russian nationals to be in Poland, you have to remember that a lot of Ukrainians speak Russian as their first language.

  31. Ukraine has collected hundred of thousands of hours of interviews recording when pows call their families and the 100% of them support the war and still people repeat the “it’s the goverment not the people”. The russians that doesnt like putin usually likes Navalny which always stated that Crimean is russian, thus supporting imperialism.
    Most of those russian speaker Estonian are just occupiers that the russians moved there to generate ethnic conflicts like they do in all former soviet republics. Even in Poland there are thousands of russia supporters after more than 200y of domination, deportations to Siberia, Katyn and so on…
