      @@sza2562 The history of Russia is much older than you think. The Russian-Byzantine war of 907 is the legendary campaign of the Kiev prince Oleg to Constantinople. The trip is described in detail in the 'Tale of Bygone Years' (early XII century) and ended with the signing of a peace treaty in 907. He is widely known in Russian society for the phrase: 'Prophetic Oleg nailed his shield on the gates of Constantinople.'
      The history of Germany could have ended in 1945 thanks to Britain, which insisted on the division of Germany into small states. Britain's plans were thwarted by Stalin, unloved by the Poles.

Fighting the enemy for freedom with a prayer on the lips, in one Christian spirit. She has been married to their son for 5 years and they have a two-year-old daughter. Amazing how the fate made us a family. We are exactly the same inside, just as history has happened. Father and I, the Godfather, will make sure that she is aware of who she is. The culture and history of both nations from which blood flows in her veins. Brothers 🇵🇱🇦🇲

    I have 3 fun facts about Poland that weren’t included in the video:
    1. The bulletproof vest was invented by 2 polish people in 1901 (one of them was a pastor). They were so confident that the vest would work, so they asked the police to shoot them while they had the vest on.
    2. Handball originates from my city (which is in Poland). It was invented by polish soldiers that were imprisoned.
    3. You should read about the Battle of Grunwald: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Grunwald

    Two corrections: the "information" Poles passed to the Allies and the British about the Enigma was actually a whole body of work including how the Poles had already been cracking the Enigma before the War even started. The reason Turing and others needed to continue the work of the Poles was because the Germans had added complexity to the machine and the Poles could no longer continue since they were being invaded. Turing based his work on things like the Bomba to build the Bombe. Second correction: the Church wasn't opposed to heliocentrism which wasn't demonstrated until the 19th century. Copernicus was a member of the clergy and his work was the subject of interests of some bishops including a pope.
