Polish nationalists when they’re reading Mickievicius’ books
recently I read about the polish ukrainian war and capture of Lwów.
“the poles were shocked especially that they considered polish nationally a matter of political identity rather than ethnicity”
it felt bittersweet
Biggest epic of Polish literature that they drummed into our heads at school for ever starts with verses roughly translated:
“Lithuania, Homeland of mine
You are like health
Those will only learn
Who lost you”
Akschually Wilno at that time was considered Polish and not Lithuanian
“Lithuania? You mean Polish land to be reclaimed?” – problem solved
Kościuszko was actually more Ruthenian than Lithuanian but I get your point.
Polish and Lithuanians are one people called commonwealthers case closed.
Adomas Mickevičius 🗿
Hitler too was from Austria
Największym bohaterem polski był Romuald Traugutt, a on był Polakiem, drugi był Kościuszko, też Polak.
Kopernik was Lithuanian?
Samogitian*
Even Kosćiuszko was from Belarus
When the French find out about Marie Curie…
Piłsudski was not the greatest Polish hero.

What? Wadowice was Polish in 1920 (and still is).
But you know, Poland and Lithuania for the most part were united and generally speaking everybody living in the modern Belarus, a big part of Ukraine and Lithuania were speaking Polish and feeling as Poles, Piłsudski was a real Polish patriot, so was Kościuszko and some other heroes, even if they were not born in modern Poland or historic Poland, they were the same Poles as I am today.
