I know a Pole who solemnly marks the day Molotov-Ribbentrop was signed as the darkest day in Polish history because that was the day the Soviets invaded. They also legitimately believe the Soviets were so bad that they only consider the end of WW2 to be the day the Soviets left in the 80s or whenever it was.
There are few people as absolutely unhinged in their hatred of Russians than Poles.
It's so bizarre. The Soviets are very literally the primary reason a Polish ethnicity still exists. The Nazis would have exterminated them. And preventing that is the greatest crime in human history according to fascists in Poland.
