Poland overall do not care for Russia from what I'm reading. The Polish Parliament basically have more power over Poland than the far-right elected. He may try to get out of the EU, but It hink Parliament will have the last word.

Sometimes people do learn from history.

She worked hard and liked pretty much everyone, but she always hated the Russians. I was told that her father spoke 3 languages and had an underground school where he taught local kids. And I was also told that after becoming a citizen she cast her first vote for LBJ. And I can remember that she had that classic portrait of JFK framed in her living room.
