What "same lands" are you talking about? Poland had same rights as Bolsheviks to parts of Russian Empire.
If you don't know, Lenin proclaimed that Bolsheviks aren't successors to Tsarist Russia.
- vetinari 9y agoEast of Curzon line. You know, that agreement that was made after WW1 (and therefore after USSR was established) and broken by the 1920-war?
- Sommersonn 9y agoCurzon line was suggested _during_ the war. Besides, as I said - Poland had the same rights to these territories, so it was a fair game of whoever captured them first. And if we're talking about broken agreements - Bolsheviks broke that agreement first.
- vetinari 9y agoSo basically you are saying that it was fair game for Poland to forcibly capture the territory, but when the USSR did the same, it's wrong and despicable? Nice double standards.
- Sommersonn 9y agoWhere did I ever said anything about 'wrong and despicable'?
- vetinari 9y agoSorry, that wasn't you. It is often used as an argument, that USSR invaded Poland (see above) and therefore they were literally Hitler. What is forgetten is the B side of the coin, which is the content of this thread.
- Sommersonn 9y agoYes, they're invaded Poland. And no, Poland didn't captured any USSR territories before that, so you can't justify that invasion.
- vetinari 9y ago> Poland didn't captured any USSR territories before that, Keep telling yourself that. With a sufficient twist, you can rationalize anything!
- Sommersonn 9y agoPlease do tell me when Poland captured USSR territories.

- Sommersonn 9y agoWonderful. This war ENDED in 1921, while USSR was created in 1922. Please, check your facts better.
