'It was an excellent speech of a courage, truth and clarity that one seldom hears or reads in our country,' General Gunzel's letter said.

Panslavism
www.innerasiaresearch.org/Suny%2520Empires.pdf The idea of a Pan-Slavic unity, perhaps headed by “the tsar of all the Slavs” and not just Russia (an idea expressed by the poet Fedor Tiuchev among others), was continually undermined by the resistance of other Slavic peoples, most importantly the Poles, who not only did not share Orthodoxy with the Russians but whose whole self-identity was bound up in resistance to Russian domination. Closer to home both Pan-Slavism and the more modest concept of the Russian people including both “Little Russians” (Ukrainians) and “White Russians” (Belorussians) as well as “Great Russians” was dealt a severe blow by an emerging separate national identity among Ukrainians. After the government suppressed the Ukrainian Brotherhood of Cyril and Methodius, a radical Pan-Slavic group, in 1847, it not only reversed its Ukrainophilic policy (directed against Polish influenes) but officially condemned Pan-Slavism as a dangerous and subversive doctrine --Molobo 22:42, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Slavophiles and Poland
Reassessment of the Relationship: Polish History and the Polish Question in the Imperial Duma Journal article by Dmitry Shlapentokh; East European Quarterly, Vol. 33, 1999 http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&d=5002313948&er=deny For generations Poles had been a sort of embarrassment for Russian nationalism. Indeed the core of Russian nationalism since the middle of the nineteenth century was an idea of Slavophilism. This ideology (as many others) was inconsistent. On the one hand their representatives emphasized Orthodoxy as the essential characteristic of the Slav, credited for the Slavs' benign characteristics. On the other hand, the very term Slavophilism implied that the benign characteristics of the Slavs stemmed from their ethnicity which had nothing to do with Orthodoxy. This explanation also implied the political unity of the Slavs, or at least their mutual gravitation to each other, and here Poles were an endless embarrassment. The Slavophiles were quite virulent in their attacks on the Poles. According to Iurii F. Samarin, Poland was transformed into a "sharp wedge driven by Latinism" into the very heart of the Slavonic soul with the aim of "splitting it into fragments."(1) Nikolai Ia. Danilevsky, the late Slavophile, dubbed Poland the "Jesuitical gentry state of Poland" and that "Judas of Slavdom," which he compared to a hideous tarantula greedily devouring its eastern neighbor but unaware that its own body is being eaten by its western neighbors.(2) Fedor I. Tiutchev, one of the leading Russian poets, also called Poles "Judas of Slavdom."(3) --Molobo 22:26, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Restoration of the Russian Empire
[52] In the next several years, however, the Red Army acted not so much as a vehicle of socialist revolution, as an instrument of restoration of the Russian Empire, under a different name. They succeeded brilliantly in Ukraine, the Transcaucasus, and Central Asia, where even the nominally autonomous protectorates of Bukhara and Khiva were taken over. Where the Red Army failed, such as in Poland in 1919, this was not through lack of trying. The Soviet republics, thus formed, immediately entered a political-military alliance with Soviet Russia (formalized in early 1922) and soon thereafter, on December 30, 1922, were fully fused under the name of the USSR.
Initially, Stalin’s socialism in one country was an introvert exercise. In the 1920s and 1930s, the USSR established diplomatic relations with all neighboring countries, including those formed on the territory of the former Russian Empire, and had no claims on their territory. Only Bessarabia was shaded on the Soviet maps as Romanian-occupied.
This changed in the late 1930s. Stalin evidently started to view territorial restoration of the Russian Empire as his historic mission, which was almost accomplished by the time he died in 1953-with the sole exceptions of Poland, Finland, and the eastern Turkish districts of Kars and Ardahan.
Of course, the Poles were never really integrated, and were a constant thorn in the side for St.Petersburg. Regular uprisings and revolutions made Russian control of the Vistula provinces tenuous at best. True Slavophiles like Nikolai Danilevsky regarded the annexation of Poland as a mistake, saddling Russia with a powerful and hostile element, never to be truly Russified.40 --Molobo 15:13, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Katkov
[59] Even the conservative nationalist Mikhail Katkov (1818-1887) conceived of Russian identity as basically state-centered. Since the state was not ethnically homogeneous, that condition had to be changed. Russification would provide the state with the ethnic nation below. Though his newspaper, Moskovskie Vedomosti, was the most popular on the Right, his nationalist views had only limited appeal to the broader population. The idea of a Pan-Slavic unity, perhaps headed by “the tsar of all the Slavs” and not just Russia (an idea expressed by the poet Fedor Tiuchev among others), was continually undermined by the resistance of other Slavic peoples, most importantly the Poles, who not only did not share Orthodoxy with the Russians but whose whole self-identity was bound up in resistance to Russian domination. --Molobo 12:18, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[60] Byrnes describes Kliuchevskii as a "nation builder." He wanted to absorb the people already within the state rather than to expand it. A major theme of The Course of Russian History is the gathering of the Russian people into one nation. This idea of the regathering led him to ignore those peoples who can not be readily absorbed.

Polish Panslavism
[63] All of them stressed the importance of voluntary union as a principle of the Commonwealth’s political system. All of them extolled the unique character of the republican virtues of the Commonwealth’s citizens and their liberties, as opposed not only to the Russian or the Ottoman political traditions, but to Western European bureaucratic formalism, and state absolutism in different guises. They re-interpreted the “Sarmatian” idea in a more democratic form, that should open up citizenship of a regenerated Polish republic to all its inhabitants. At the same time, they identified the post-partition political body of Poland as a symbol of all oppression. In Mickiewicz’s and Słowacki’s messianic-religious interpretation, Poland became the nation-martyr, even the Christ of nations. Every struggle for Polish independence, every subsequent insurrection – from the Bar confederation, through the Kosciuszko uprising, up to the latest (1830-31) war with Russia – was interpreted as a model of a brave consistency in striving for freedom’s sake. Lelewel was the originator of the battle-cry of the uprising of 1830-31, “For your freedom and ours,” which was then repeated in the emigration as the new motto of the Polish mission. And indeed, Polish emigrants were active and very much visible in every possible political turmoil in Europe between 1831 and 1863. The revolutions of the so-called Spring of Nations in 1848-49 formed the peak of this revolutionary Polish activity. The paradoxical nature of the ideology that led the Polish emigrants to this hectic activity could be described most concisely as an international nationalism, a call to solidarity of nations in their fight against the solidarity of despotic monarchs as represented by the Sacred Alliance, initiated by Tsar Alexander I, Francis I – Austrian emperor, and Frederick William IV – king of Prussia. Polish Commonwealth regenerators would be natural leaders in this specific nationalist international. The ultimate consequences of their plans are vividly described by Mickiewicz in his futuristic vision of the year 1899 (written in 1832), when he expected a hetman (that is, military leader) of the Commonwealth to come back from the Urals after defeating the last remnants of the forces of tsarist despotism, thus enabling a Free Republic of Siberia to be firmly established. All nations were to be liberated – Siberia included – and the center of their liberation was to be in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, regenerated and united anew with Poland. 23 The whole Eastern and Central European post-tsarist realm was to be transformed into a set of democratic, nation-based republics, modeled on and liberated with the help of the reestablished Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. And so the latter was to be a kind of anti-imperial empire. In reality this vision inspired revolution-oriented national movements in many parts of Europe, and future Zionist leaders as well. 24 For Lelewel and Mickiewicz any geopolitical considerations were rather alien. They sternly believed in the attractive force of an ethical appeal connected to the example of the Polish fight against the tsarist imperial arch-enemy – and extended this belief even to the Russian nation, which they saw as one of the victims rather than as the most important of their enemies. In other version of the Polish emigrants’ political thought, however, the Polish “liberation doctrine” took a more geopolitically oriented shape, distinctly opposing Poland and Russia as the two contradictory poles of political attraction in Eastern Europe, and in Slavdom in general, not only in terms of some idealistic principle but in the harsh reality of state interests. Poland, reconstituted in its old, pre-partition borders, would form then a kind of anti-Russian strategic magnet. In order to make the future place of Poland secure its aim would be not so much to create a Polish Empire, as to disperse the existing Russian Empire, diversifying its geopolitical territory into as many elements/states as possible. This idea was quite close to the one implemented two centuries earlier by Cardinal de Richelieu against the German states in order to make France’s strategic position in the east unbeatable. As an example of this mode of Polish political thought one can mention General Ludwik Mierosławski’s geopolitical treatise, published in 1857. He explained the necessity of balancing the much too powerful and dangerous Russian political realm with a strong Poland and her influence in all Slavdom (Russia excluded). Poles (together with Ruthenians) should play a central role in the liberation of the Slavonic race from despotisms ruling in Eastern Europe, and connect the world of the Slavs to western civilization. 25 Even more illustrative in this respect may be the last stage of Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski’s political career and thought. In 1831 the former foreign minister of the Russian Empire became the prime minister of the Polish insurgents’ government, and ended as the head of the most implacable enemy of the Russian Empire’s territorialintegrity, forthirtyyears leadinghispropaganda and diplomatic fight against the tsarist state from his émigré base in Paris. Disappointed in the idea of a just empire, which he had cherished during his service in the courtof Alexander I, hedeveloped a highly originalconcept of nations and the priority of their right to independence over imperial states in organizing a new political order in Europe. He expressed this new idea first in his extensive Essay on Diplomacy (written in 1823 and printed in 1830), and then tried to realize it against the Russian Empire. Leading the post-insurrection diplomacy and propaganda of the Polish emigration for thirty years, prince Czartoryski became the main patron of using all ethnically non-Russian elements of the Empire in order to tear it apart. His battle against the Tsar Nicholas I’s state was independence for Don Cossacks, Tatars, Circassians (Chechens), Finns, Estonians and other ethnic or religious minorities he portrayed as victims of the Russian Empire’s oppression. Inspired by the prince’s agents, and backed by Western European powers, especially by the British, these new nations were to form an important element of Czartoryski’s plan for the Russian Empire’s destruction and formation of a new political order in all of Eastern Europe. It is worth stressing that Czartoryski was consistent in extending his principles and efforts to lands of the Ottoman and – to a lesser extent – Habsburg empires, backing national movements of the Rumanians, Serbs, Croatians, Hungarians, and Bulgarians --Molobo 22:32, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Molobo, you were blocked for a month from editing for that highly disruptive revert rampage that very nearly got you blocked indefinitely for one of the lengthiest histories of edit warring of anyone around. You know the deal: the only reason you aren't blocked indefinitely already is because at the request of Piotrus, Chris 73, and others, we all agreed to this: "I'll put it back at a month with the stipulation that at the first whiff of a return to edit warring he will be reblocked." Recently you've engaged in extensive edit warring on many distinct articles, including, but definitely not limited to, Soviet partisans in Poland, History of Poland, Historical Eastern Germany, Otto von Bismarck, Teutonic Knights, German Empire, and those are just the ones I found in the last few days before I tired of looking at your contributions.

- Slavic people are long gone and extinct replaced by various different nations with completely different cultures and histories, Pan-slavic ideology is a tool of Russian imperialism that sought to justify its territorial expansion and influence in Europe and at the same time destroy other nationalities by Russifying them(claiming that Russians are "true Slavs"). The fact that Russian of today officials re-call panslavistic thought that was used by Tsars as justification for massacres of Poles is worrying and shows that this hateful ideology is still alive in some circles of Russian politicians either as sign of ignorance or nationalism.

[70] Ad hominem tu quoque refers to an irrelevant accusation of hypocrisy. Accusations of hypocrisy are inadmissible in legal and scientific debate, and can be distractions from the business of politics. That is, it is not relevant to the credibility of a didactic argument whether its presenter has trod over the principle he espouses. For example, a corrupt lawyer who prosecutes embezzlers may be a sleaze, but in a properly organized legal system there can be no arguments against his defendant just because of that.

That is as neutral as giving writings of Nazi ideologist to write about Jews, since the Panslavist on regular basis wrote about Poland such things as "tarantula", "Judas" etc. They can't be seen as objective source of information regarding Poland, as hatred for Poland was one their most popular ideas.

I dislike using {{fact}} tags because they imply that the assertion is being challenged as factually untrue. Many times, I add {{citation needed}} tags to indicate that it would be useful to have a citation to provide the reader with more information about the topic.
Just wanted to explain my revert so you would understand that it was not done in a confrontational way.

- I agree with Richard. It's always better to provide reference then remove citation tags.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 13:20, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
I provided two references. --Molobo 13:23, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
I think one article would be enough, although I admit I don't follow exactly what it would be on: Origins of Polish statehood? You can always write a draft in your userspace and we can decide the subject later; although an even better idea is to ask for suggestions at WP:PWNB.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 13:20, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
the real life
I cite you: "so many battles, so many tsars and thinkers, manifests, very glorious-but where is the real life in Russia ? Burlaks on the Volga gives diversity by showing the life of the masses". I congratulate, it's absolutely marxist statement. However during millenia the real life of masses was absolute a nightmare also in Europe - in the countries having much more favorable climatic, natural, communicational conditions than Russia. In 1840-s in the most advanced country of the world Great Britain 1 million Irish died of famine and many millions people starved to death in the British Indian colonies. (It is possible to recollect an awful life of serfs and bloody revolts and mass executions in 17-18th centuries in Poland. Does it cancel the proud pictures by Jan Matejko?). In some regions of Asia and Africa almost till our time tribes lived in conditions of the Stone Age and were engaged in cannibalism. The real life has many layers (serfs, nobles, thinkers etc). The life of masses is determined by a level of economic development of the country which depends not only on ideology, also on thousand natural factors (The ideology is more likely consequence of the natural conditions) Ben-Velvel 12:00, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Let me add a favorite quote of mine which might be pertinent:
We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible.

Formatting your entries for the umpteenth time
Molobo, I told you that at least two dozen times. And so did other people. You repeatedly screw up the talk pages by misformating the whole thing by your sloppy entries. That is of course disregarding flooding it for which you were blocked.
But anyway, I just formatted the page after your intrusion again taking an effort to preserve your edits whatever I think of them. This was officially the last time I did that. Your next entry that screws the whole page will be reverted and you will have to add it properly yourself. This repeated discourtesy has got to stop at some point. --Irpen 02:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for the improved formatting of your talk page entries. I hope now, that you showed that you can properly format them when you take a small effort, you will continue doing so as to not make your colleagues think that you edit the talk page sloppily because you treat others with disrespect. One small additional request. Please use edit summaries AND, when you start a new section, please title it meaningfully. TIA, --Irpen 01:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- I see that you persist with not using edit summaries [76] despite several request. Why so stubbornly persisting with this discourtesy? such contempt towards your colleagues with who you have to work does not help you advance your arguments. Please discontinue this practice. --Irpen 02:55, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- On talk pages edit summaries are not essential. I certainly don't mind if they are absent. I think Irpen's criticism is invalid here. Edit summaries must be used to justify changing the content of an article, and so there they are indeed crucial. On the other hand, it seems obvious that changes to talk pages do not have to be justified. Balcer 16:07, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

thank you
Hello sir, I just stumbled by here and I have to say that the information you compiled about Germany is very, very interesting. Thank you for doing this. Ostap 20:10, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Re your material and reference: visit the Mitteleuropa page, click on "what links here", insert where your judgment tells you it would be germane to the article. Novickas 14:46, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
