Hi everybody :-) My name's Wojciech and I've just been recommended this forum. I study English Philology (study of English language,culture and so on) in Tarnow and I'm glad that some people from England are interested in Polish culture (if such a thing exists ;-)) We're not just from England. I'm from Wales (which isn't in England, but you being an intelligent man know that already). There are some cool things in Poland that people are not aware of; indeed, a lot of Poles are not aware of some of them. There's a ton of good animation from Polish people and some music as well (Masturbathor, for example). |

Hi Everyone,
My name is Kasia. I was born in Wroclaw but have lived in the USA most of my life. I'm making plans to move with my two children to Poland in the next couple of years. I used to work in international freight forwarding and currently write a blog with the hopes of becoming a writer one day.

Hello Eugene, I'm very happy to see you on this forum. Welcome! What an interesting story about your family. Feel free to tell us more about your ancestors. I would love to hear more! It seems this forum has been almost abandoned by its administrator, so not much is going on, but I'm still checking in just about daily!! |

History of my family is rather interesting. My great-grandeather was a Polish nobleman from very old family - as I know he was a descendant of an illegitimate branch of the king Matthias Hunyadi (it's a legend of my family). The arms of my great-grandfather was Slepovron. His name was Stanislav Romuald Kossakovski. My grandmother, Eleonora Kossakowska, married with my grandfather at 1953 (he was the Ukrainian). Their daughter (my mother) married with my father (he is Russian from Siberia).
So I was born in Western Siberia (town Tomsk) and lives here now. But I remember my Polish roots and want to visit the land of my ancestors.

witam wszystkich!
I am a beginning learner of the Polish language and I think that this site may be a good place to visit for this purpose and also for other information about Poland, it's culture and people.
I am Irish but living in Australia.
In 2006 I went to Poland for the first time - Kraków for 4 days. I went a little reluctantly and only to please a friend as I was expecting to be very bored but fell in love with Poland from the first mug of barszcz czerwony on the first visit to a bar meleczna(?).
Since that time I have met and married a beautiful Polish woman from Ursynów, Warszawa.
We intend to move to Poland to live one day in the not too distant future.
Cheers
Phil

How wonderful for you that you have found and married a lovely Polish woman! I hope you two fulfill your dream of moving to Poland! Jeanne |

I like your blog because of the images. I am sorry that I can't read Polish, because I would like to know more about your world, the world of the Polish minorities in Western-Ukraine (and Lithuania, Belarus and other places) Do you consider yourself Polish as being part of Poland or as a member of the Polish diaspora in Ukraine?

I was born in Poland(near Warsaw) but now I'm part of Polish community in Ukraine and in Poland. I have two homes ) Cheers, polkanakresach |

Polkanakresach,
That is a great Polish and Ukrainian combination you have. I am interested in Kresy due to family roots there and because it is part of Polish history. What I want to ask you. How does the Ukrainian majority treat the Polish minoirity in Western-Ukraine, where you live? I read about discrimination or even attacks against the Polish minortity, by far right (fascist or Neo-Nazi) Ultra-nationalist Ukrainians in Western-Ukraine (the 'former Polish territories'). Is that true, or are is the relationship between the Ukrainian majority and Polish minority good?
Do you live in Lwów (Liviv) or do you live in the country side. You say you stay or live in Poland too (part time?). Do you stay or live in Warsaw when you are in Poland. You live in an area where two slav cultures live next to eachother, the Polish and Ukrianian one (and maybe some Russian culture too, the third one). That is nice, it must be like my language and culture. I live in the border region near Germany, and the German influence is visible and can be heard in the local/regional dialects.
Is the same influence visible and can it be heard in the local border language or dialects too. Polish and Ukrainain mixes or tones in the language. In my region it is the fact of the Saxonian Eastern-Dutch acccents and dialects which are closer to German, but in the same time understandable Dutch (not German language).
I heard about the influence of German on the Silesian language or dialect. And to my great surprise my mother told me she was more fond of Warsaw than Poznan, because the German influence and atmosphere (Prussian influence in the architecture) was visible and could be felt in Poznan in the atmosphere. In her view Warsaw had a more light, cheerful and pleasant atmosphere. (Ofcourse you have to keep in mind that she was born and raised as a child in Warsaw (1934-1944: her first ten years), spend a decade with her family in Poznan and returned to Warsaw to work and live there. I liked Poznan very much, and even was fond of the 'old' Polish, 'New' Polish and heavy German (Prussian) elements. With heavy Prussian I mean the large, heavy, classicist, Prussian buildings from the late 18th and 19th century and for instance The Imperial Castle in Poznań, popularly called Zamek.
Probably Lwów is more Polish than Poznan will ever be, despite the fact that it is and will stay an Ukrainian city called Lviv. That is the interesting fact of history. I am interested in how people, citizens coap with that history. Are they aware of that history. Like people of Wrocław are aware that the city had a German past and was called Breslau, and that it had a Bohemian (Czech) past to, because it has been part of Bohemia too (and after that had had been part of the Austrian Habsburg empire for a while too. Intersting is that a lot of the citiziens of Wrocław have Kresy roots. Some of them must have come from Lwów. I wonder who replaced the Poles that were evicted from Lwów when it became Lviv. Ukrainians and Russians from other parts of the Ukraine or the SovjetUnion?
Cheers,
Pieter
