There are plenty of anti-Russian ethnic Russians and pro-Russian Ukrainians in Ukraine. There is a significant correlation with spoken language, but a lot of it boils down to "how shit was Ukrainian state to you".
Poland hating Russia more than Ukraine feels weird.
Not really considering Polish-Soviet War and the M-R pact. Not to mention being a vassal state to the Tsar before that, as someone else pointed. Lotta bad blood. And before people are like "Those first two things are USSR and not Russia" yes, but that's not how most people see it. People see RSFSR as the head of the USSR and view the USSR as a Russian project rather than an international socialist project. Because a great many people still think in terms of nationality more than they think in terms of class. And while Ukraine might have had nazi collaborators who killed poles in WW2 it's easy for the Polish to view that less as the actions of the ukrainian state than to view it as the actions of pricks who were enabled by the third reich. These days Poland is a NATO member and simply hates Russia because it is outside the NATO bloc. It's part of a rival hegemony and that's reason enough to hate it. Pile on the historical baggage on top of that and it's easy to see.
polish people are kinda insecure about their history of independence/not independence. Russian Tsardom was occupying Poland for a long time, and many Poles now a days don't consider the Polish People's Republic to be an real independent state and consider Russia to be "their oppressive overlord" historically. Even more so then the nationalist Ukrainians imo.
they're kind of like the Texas of Europe so it makes sense that they claim to hate Russia more lol
Poland in the 40s didn't really have a homegrown communist movement as I understand it, like Germany and other eastern block countries did. To my limited knowledge, socialism was imposed by the Soviets.
