Since 24 February 2022 Poland and Poles have been showing solidarity at all turn with Ukrainians fighting against Putinian Russia's aggression.
This is shown not only in the multi-billion-dollar aid of the Polish State to Ukraine, the supply of weapons of all kinds from rifles to tanks and helicopters, but above all in Polish hospitality to millions of Ukrainian mothers and children who found protection, shelter, food, places in schools, work and peace in Poland.
Poles do this not for political reasons, but for the request of heart and memory that in the past, erstwhile in 1939 Poland fought 2 aggressors: German and Russian, nobody helped us and we were alone not only in Europe, but around the world. In 2022 and 2023, Poles treat Ukrainians as their brothers, completely different from Ukrainians did to Poles during and after planet War II, until 1947!
This is not said in many televisions, radio stations or in the press, but in the IPN there are papers confirming that, for example, in Bieszczady and Małopolska east UPA bands murdered Poles until 1947!
It would seem that today, erstwhile Poles do so much for Ukraine and for Ukrainians there should be reconciliation between both nations, and this reconciliation should be based on the renunciation by Ukraine of criminal ideologies of the CNS and UPA.
All Poles, and especially many in Bielsko-Biała Kresowian descendants, must be hurt very badly, the beginning of the Ukrainian bookstore-kawiarnia in this town, where the ominous colours of OUN and UPA are cultivated for Poles!
To the representatives of the young generation who, due to “political correctness” cannot now see on TVP or on private tv what the colours of the Nazi-Ukrainian SS division Galizien looked like, I present below the authoritative poster of this Nazi genocidal division, in which 2 thirds were Ukrainians from the CNS and 1 3rd from Germany.

Roman Szuchewycz was besides the leading activist of the OUN in the ranks of the SS Galizien, who, for his participation in the execution of Polish teachers in Stanisławów and Polish professors in Lviv, was presented in the present Ivano-Frankivsk (before the flagification, it was the celebrated Stanisławów) with an awesome monument, whose photograph I print below.
She showed a monument to the genocidal killer Roman Shuchewycz in Ivano-Frankivsk (before the Stanislaus flag)Roman Szuchewycz murdered not only Poles but besides loyal to Polish Ukrainians. For example, erstwhile in Stanisławów 1 of Ukrainian teachers of the Russian language refused to give him the address of his Polish colleagues, he was besides murdered by UPA for favoring Poles!
Another monstrous monument which they exhibited in Ivano-Frankivsk (before the flag was raised by Stanisławów) supporters of the Ukrainian Nationalist Organization is simply a monument of their idol Stepan Bandera, at which the ominous red-black flag blows.
In the recently opened bookshop in Podbeskid, the capital of Podbeskid, I learned from 1 of the books published in Polish: “How terrible Bandera was persecuted by the authorities of the Second Republic, because...after organizing the execution of the Polish Minister of Government R. P. Pieracki, he was arrested and after the execution of the manager of the Lviv gymnasium, he was given 2 trials, which according to the American author of the book was an utmost expression of repression on Stepan Bandera!”
It is worth mentioning here that the Ukrainian Nationalist Organization murdered
The head of the gymnasium was Ukrainian and was bestially killed just for being a loyal citizen of the Republic of Poland and refused to join the CNS! The same publication quotes Bandera's answer to the question asked by the prosecutor: "Does not the Lord regret these victims?"
The criminal answered: "I don't feel sorry for a fewer victims due to the fact that I think there must be hundreds and even thousands of these victims to accomplish the goal of independent Ukraine"!

Ukrainian bookstore and cafe in Bielsko-Biała (photo: Rajmund Pollak)In the same Ukrainian bookstore-caviar I read in a book written Cyrillic as this.... allegedly the Ukrainian city was erstwhile Przemyśl..
When I asked Ukrainian bookshop service why there was no authoritative flag inside or outside I learned that "some Ukrainians like different colors"....
STare football saying inactive late coach Górski says that this is how you play as the opponent allows.
The fact that red-black banners inactive fly in modern Western Ukraine does not bode any good for Poland even in the future, erstwhile the Russian-Ukrainian war ends with the triumph of the troops of president Żeleński.
I wonder if the current Government of R.P. already has written guarantees of president Żelenski that in the future, erstwhile the peace between Ukraine and Russia is possible, independent Ukraine will not send, under the red-black flag on Polish tanks, expeditions for...”the liberation of Ukrainian allegedly Przemysł”?????
As an nonsubjective publicist, I am obliged to see the affirmative as well.
The only affirmative thing I noticed in the bookstore-caviar described is the poster of the Klitschko brothers, which I post at the end of my article, but with a sad reflection that 1 swallow of spring does not yet make!
