Karol Świerczewski

Can anyone here please translate article about Karol Świerczewski for English Wikipedia ?

Thank you in advance (Fisenko 04:37, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC))

I will begun translating into Karol Swierczewski. OOC, what brought your interest in him? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 09:32, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I was reading about UPA, Stepan Bandera, Soviet partisans and related subjects. Afterwards I expanded, translated from Russian and wrote few articles for Wikipedia. I remembered from my Polish history class about Swierczewski and I wanted to write an article about him as well, however, most of information about him online is in Polish and since I don't understand it I realized I need help.

Redrawing borders #2

In a book I read it was briefly mentioned that Stalin was supposed to have had a plan/idea of "uniting" the central european states and balkan countries into larger blocks. One of these "blocks" was supposed to be comprised from Poland, Czechoslovakia and Belarus.

Does this stuff sound familiar in any way? Since there was no adequate reference in the book (a Swedish book about Belarus) I am having trouble in verifying it.

"Soviet aid"

"The Soviet Union could have assisted Poland, but the Poles feared Stalin's communism nearly as much as they feared Hitler's Nazism, and during 1939 they had refused to agree to any arrangement which would allow Soviet troops to enter Poland. The Nazi-Soviet Pact of August 1939 had ended any possibility of Soviet aid." - from article, paragraph 5, part "German and Soviet Invasion".

Sentence about "Soviet aid" being something which could have *really* helped Poland to defend against Nazism, which Poland has refused and what was it's own fault, is AFAIK completely wrong, since Soviet government wasn't interested in really helping Poland, instead it wanted to absorb Poland (just like Nazis), and having troops inside Poland's territory, that would be easier. If Soviet progpaganda was saying something else, you got it - that's propaganda. I think, that anyone who have heard anything about Soviet methods of "helping" other nations, will know what I mean. So, if other people will agree, I suggest to change "The Soviet Union could have assisted Poland, but the Poles feared Stalin's communism..." *at* *least* to "The Soviet Union could have "assisted" Poland, but the Poles feared Stalin's communism...". 80.51.51.27 18:45, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
