Władysław Syrokomla designated himself as a pole. So he was a polish poet, not belarusian. If belarusians designates this man as belarusian only because he was born in territory that is part of Belarus today, so Władysław Syrokomla should be russian poet, because in 19 century neither Poland nore Belarus didn't existed.--82.135.217.36 14:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
To the person above who wrote false facts:
Władysław Syrokomla Kondratowicz was Polish not Russian. Belarus and Poland were part of a Commonwealth during his birth. His family was of Polish decent and he was born in Belarus which was part of Poland at that time. Poland and Belarus existed during that time (learn history before you write ridiculous statements). Poland became a nation in 997 A.D. and had people living there even before 997 in colonies. Poland was wiped off the map several times but resurfaced each time (you probably mixed up dates). Władysław Syrokomla’s family were land owners during that time and eventually his descendants were kicked out of Belarus by the Red Army. The Red Army consisted of angry and jealous workers who didn't own land. These people wanted Communism; they wanted everybody to have equal land, money, etc. They forced the Kondratowicz Syrokomla family out of their plantation, destroyed their valuables such as stamp collections, paintings, and more. (My great grandmother recalls them ripping paintings off their walls, throwing the paintings on the floor, spitting at their valuables (stamps), ripping them apart, etc. These primitive people had no clue that these things were valuable, they acted like monkeys and were not intelligent enough to take the valuable for themselves. They forced my family to leave behind their fortunes (which were already half destroyed) and they were forced to emigrate to Polish owned territory. The commonwealth had fallen apart and their past Belarusian life was now history. Belarus was no longer part of Poland. They started a new life in Poland. Eventually my mother immigrated to Canada and I was born there. I am Władysław Syrokomla's Great (3x) grandson. Most of my family is still in Poland but they are not doing as well as our ancestors once did before the uprising. The fact is millionaires or billionaires can lose their fortunes easily from war, death, etc. It’s not a good thing but I'm happy that I am alive and that’s what’s important. If the uprising never happened I would have never been born. Anyway, my family is Polish not Russian! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.221.46 (talk) 16:34, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
