Last month, Poland's state-funded Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) took part in unveiling a commemorative plaque dedicated to the 5th Vilnius Brigade of the Home Army, commanded by Zygmunt Szendzielarz "Łupaszka"

Units under his command were involved in the 1944 Dubingiai massacre, in which Lithuanian civilians, including women and children, were killed. Historians have also criticized the brigade's actions against Belarusian Orthodox communities in the Białystok region, including the attack on Narewka in January 1946.

Hello, I'm Turkish and I'm looking to study in Poland. My first idea was to take foundation year or prepatory programmes to learn Polish and then study the programme in Polish, however I haven't found many universities that offer such programmes. (Most are intensive courses designed for people who already have some knowledge of Polish or know a slavic language).

Is it worth studying a programme in English and taking Polish language courses during the programme? I believe most universities offer Polish language classes for their students.

I plan to immigrate to Poland and work there as well, so my goal is to learn Polish. I might be able to get enough Polish knowledge if I start now but I don't think I will learn enough by May when I'll have to apply.

Thank you in advance.

Apparently, Poland can be beautiful, but that's not always the case, based on what I've researched online. To summarize, there are both ugly and beautiful Polish languages. I apologize if I made a mistake or my English sounds artificial.

Actually, I live in one of the worse cities in Poland, so this view does not surprise me, but those who pass through such cities may be surprised by this view from abroad.

The scandal of fictitious donations to the church near Mińsk Mazowiecki is still growing. CBA agents detained four more men. Among them are CEOs of companies and managers of large companies. In the investigation, in which the allegations were also heard by the parish priest, there are millions of zlotys.

Im 19M and living in poland been for 5 years(im polish ethnically from my parents and i have a polish passport) im in a Technical college and i dont really have many options to make some money and i wanna ask is working as a glovo courier a good way to make some money? Because im just scared of the legal shit i could get put in something with taxes or finances or whatnot when signing up with a partner company (like evelstar or city eats) so i wanna see if theres any advice from other couriers around here (hoping this is the right sub to ask these kinda of questions)

Has anyone else seen the recent video by Best Ever Food Review Show ("I Found the World's WHITEST Food!! / Why is Poland so white?")?

I wrote a huge comment under the video showcasing how hypocritical he is, but since his comment section is a total echo chamber, I wanted to bring the reality check here.

It is incredibly hypocritical for an American expat living in Vietnam to come to Europe and push a manufactured, historically false narrative on a food channel. He is desperately chasing an imaginary standard of "purity" as a self-appointed defender of whiteness, and he is using Poland as his prop.

It's pure historical erasure. He calls Poland the ultimate "white standard" while literally eating pierogi, gołąbki, and underground pit-cooked meat. Pierogi and cabbage rolls entered the region from Asian and Mediterranean trade routes, while underground pit cooking is a classic Turkic and Eurasian steppe tradition.

He completely ignores that Poland was historically a massive, multi-ethnic crossroads. He erases the Ruthenians, Lithuanians, Jews, Germans, and the Muslim Lipka Tatars who settled here in the 14th century. He ignores that the Tatars shaped Polish noble fashion (Sarmatism), wrote Polish in Arabic script, and fought under King Sobieski at Vienna.

This idea of Poland as a pure mono-ethnic nation isn't an ancient baseline—it's a tragic 20th-century invention caused by WWII and forced Soviet border shifts.

Seeing a guy play the 12th-century crusader while erasing Poland's rich, blended regional history is a massive joke. It’s total brainrot and people shouldn't buy into this fabricated narrative.

Pls help

Hi! Canadian here, my 10 year old nephew(in law) lives in Poland & we have been ordering things off Amazon for him for Christmases and birthdays and having it shipped to him. We are wondering if there are other more popular websites we can use for gifting?

Hello neighbours,

I'm looking to Travel to Bali soon and I'm looking to get a typhoid vaccine. For some reason we don't have any in Lithuania right now, there are some logistics issues. Not a single hospital has a vaccine even though they used to give them.

What's the situation in Poland? Could a foreigner get a vaccine? I'd be willing to drive over a weekend to get one nearby.

Hey! Im a Master's Stundent from Portugal, and in my 2nd and last semester, I decided to go to Poland to finish my Master's Degree in Zoology.

My main question is, since Im not going to an university, is there any way I can get a stundent's discount in buses/trains? I thought ISIC would work, but there's plenty of people saying otherwise.

Also, are polish people Erasmus Friendly? And how is the weather in poland during March-June? How cold will it be?

Any other advices will come an handy!

Symbolic but worth it

I have tried now 3x to initiate the number move from Play to nju Mobile. Each time Play responds to nju that I am not the owner of the numbers that I'm trying to move. I have been twice at Play shop, they claim all looks correct in their system. I am the owner and all is fine, they claim it's nju who makes an incorrect request.
I'm starting to run out of ideas, other than ditching my old number(s) and just starting new ones instead, but this will be quite a hassle to arrange.
To make things more interesting, during the first attempt 1 nr out of 3 was accepted. But as I am applying for a 3 number package the nju consultant entered all 3 again in next request, and then voila, all 3 were rejected, so even if I was an owner of one of them before, I stopped being meanwhile.
I am out of ideas how to convince them now...
Any suggestions?

Edit: so the solution was that during the third attempt, my own number was accepted, two other (for my kids) were rejected (including the one that was accepted before). So I deiced to move only mine as replacing this would be a massive hassle. Kids will get new numbers. Seems like the best that can be done. There is no other solution I could think of. Play continuously claims that all is correct at their end and nju says that they have no visibility into WHY Play rejects the numbers.
I sincerely hope it's not Play's tactics to keep the customers from moving, but seeing how numbers randomly get approved and then rejected, I have no other explanation to this.

Hello everyone. I am Italian—so don’t worry; it would be hypocritical of me to assign historical blame or take offense, especially considering what we—including those of us from the South—did under Fascism, and the fact that, even today, we are sometimes perceived as being more racist than Germany. While browsing various subreddits, I’ve frequently encountered far-right groups praising Poland for its lack of inclusivity toward migrants. I don’t mean to offend anyone here who might hold far-right views—let that be clear—but I don’t quite grasp the logic used by the Americans who, as I’ve discovered, hold this particular opinion about your country. In general, these individuals feel—or claim to feel—deeply threatened and intimidated by the influx of people from Africa and the Middle East into Europe, and often into their own country as well. Although the topic of immigration is handled very poorly by the media—which often overlooks its cultural, political, and social dimensions—those who fear it frequently point to Poland, labeling it the "last bulwark against the Middle East." My question is: how did you come to acquire such a reputation within conservative circles?

Hi, I live in the Czech-Polish border region. (Upper Silesia) I like to ride my bike to Poland, and it’s impossible not to notice the wind turbines.

And over the past year, a massive campaign has taken off in the Czech Republic claiming that wind turbines ruin the landscape, kill animals, drive up inflation, and make people gain weight. (The last two are jokes.)

So most referendums on construction end in failure.

Is there the same campaign over there in Poland, or is it just here?
