There are some interesting sentences in this letter, like “tragedy
of Polish nation during the WWII”, however there are pretty obvious.
But we can find still many mistakes in Russian thinking. For example
the equal sign between Russia and Soviet Union. Putin talks about
the “tragedy of the Red Army in 1920 in Poland”. Sorry, but similar
could somebody in Germany say about “tragedy of Wermacht by
Stalingrad”.
This “tragedies” were happy cases for the world. Of course each
Soviet soldier suffering in 1920 can be mentioned because the human
suffering is similar, no matter in which political context, but this
context is important too. The Red Army was a military tool of crime
communist regime in the Soviet Union, trying to destroy democratic,
independent state of Poland and probably the rest of Europe. That’s
the huge difference. Polish soldiers in 1920 defended not only the
own country but the European values which are now accepted even in
Russia after the Soviet era.
