 :::The USSR was a federation to protect each other from aggressive neighbours, and yet you Poles somehow dislike it. Why should the East Slavs regard a project of the fiercely nationalist Pilsudski as anything more than Polish imperialism? They had enough of the Roman Catholic proseletyzing and oppression during the centuries of what you call the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and what has been known to all the world as simply Poland. The Warsaw Pact was not even a federation, and yet many here tend to allude to it as an imperialistic venture, although it was also intended to protect each other from agressive neighbours in the West.  09:09, 4
