The Russians are always implicating Poland

[usenetposts]

Not only did the Russians go and use Polish troops to pacify the Prague
Spring in Czechoslovakia, but now they've gona and used polonium to get rid
of someone who knew too much in London. Why can't they do their own dirty
work and leave this country out of it?

Maria Sklodowska Curie turns over in her grave. Next time the Russians will use
radium.

"Fur us, Poles, Maria Sklodowska-Curie is a particular symbol. A symbol of
universality and unity of science. When, as a young woman, paying enormous
renunciations, she came to France to deepen her knowledge - Poland was absent
from the map of Europe. By marriage with Pierre Curie she became a French
citizen, but she never forgot her natural homeland. The Curie couple always
stated, that their achievements are common achievements - but it was Pierre
Curie who proposed that the together discovered element would be named polonium
to honour the native country of his wife. The merits of Maria Curie for her
second homeland were duly appreciated. I have in mind not only her research on
radium to save the health of people stricken by the one of the most terrible
illnesses of our age - that is cancer. It was Maria Curie who organised during
the First World War the ambulances equipped with X-ray equipment and in person
with her daughter Irene, on the batterfields, they helped wounded soldiers and
saved their life. When the battle shooting ended and the peace came, Marie
Sklodowska-Curie did not decline her help to Polish scientists in already a free
and independent Poland. Even before the First World War, she organized and
actively helped to create a research unit which conducted research on
radioactivity. In 1913, the Radiological Laboratory of the Warsaxw Scientific
Society started its activity and Maria Sklodowska-Curie was it honorary
director. She continued this activity also after the First World War. It was due
to her efforts that the Radium Institute / today Institute-Center of Oncology
named after Maria-Sklodowska-Curie / was opened. It was possible due to the
generous donation of Maria Sklodowska. From her the Institute received the first
gram of radium."

Indeed, it would be less hypocritical of them to use a radziecki element,
instead of one from the polonia.

Indeed, rad as Kraj Rad (Polish expression for radium is rad and Soviet Union
during the communism era was often called Kraj Rad).
