  • It’s not every day that you get to observe how a person might react to something new and different. Perhaps it’s driving an electric car for the first time or seeing the mighty ocean waves crash the shores after living in the mountains your entire life. For Marina’s mom, going abroad for the first time in her life is just that experience…

    I think the way poland looks today is not the money, but the mentality change. We came a long way from "Public space belongs to everyone, so it belongs to noone in particular" to "public space belongs to everyone, so in particular it belongs to me, and i should keep that place in best possible condition".
    Also, to keep those individuals who like to destroy things in check, you have to clean everything as soon as possible. When you are in Wroclaw compare bus stop and vehicle cleanliness to warsaw. It is quite an astonishing difference. Spokesman of Krakow's MPK (Krakow's Public Transportation Comapny) once said, that pulling a tram back to the depot after being vandalized/covered with graffiti and cleaning it right away, so that noone sees the effects of vandalism helps to cut overal costs of cleaning, because vandals don't want to put effort into something that can cost them a fine, and won't even last till the end of the day.

Our family knows very little about the facts and circumstances surrounding my grandmother's early life in Poland. Letters that my cousin had that were written by one of her sisters who was sent to England say, among other things, that my maternal grandfather was a "Prussian Guard"--chosen because of his size. He was said to be a big man at 6'5" and weighed over 100kg...and that is where my height(6'4") came from. Do you, or anyone, know if this was true? My cousin believes she has the name of the city where my grandmother was born and presumably lived. Hopefully she will find the name of the city before I leave the US. We have her name.

      Just for history sake. Poland was lucky enough to never have been fully taken over by a single foreign force. We had different circumstances, we weren't dependent on USSR as we were never fully theirs, in 2004 we managed to join EU. Being able to work abroad plus all of the money coming in for schools, roads, bridges, hospitals, sports and culture buildings etc to level us up to 'European standards'. I cannot express how much I have seen my country change since then. I hope one day Poland (and EU) can help Ukraine rebuild and thrive just like we were lucky to get our chance.

    Why Ukraine took a different path 32 years ago? The answer is simple: Poland was never part of the "Russian world," even in the 19th century, when part of Poland was under Russian occupation. The difference in civilization level and mentality was extremely huge. Poland was immune to the "Russian world" because it was a normal European country. In many respects, it was even a glaring contradiction of the "Russian world" - also in the communist era. Poland and Ukraine have had a long shared history, but this only applies to western Ukraine (shared 1,000 years, mostly in the Polish state). That is why western Ukraine is so different from eastern Ukraine. Eastern Ukraine, on the other hand, was in the orbit of Poland for 300 years, but then landed in the "Russian world" for 300 years, with all its poisoning pathologies. And then, in the USSR, there was strong Russification and destruction of Ukrainianness, murdering of Ukrainian elites: hundreds of writers, painters, filmmakers, systematic, murdering of distinctiveness, starting from the 1930s and ending in the 1970s. Poland did not experience this. On the contrary, it was for most of its history first a strong kingdom in the orbit of Latin and Western culture, and then, after 123 years of occupation (Russian, German and Austrian) was again an independent country with strong elites and a 1000-year-old tradition of evolving statehood, a hipper strong sense of national unity, self organization etc. Ukraine in the 13th century fell victim to the Tartar invasions for 300 years, then it was under Polish domination, then Russian, its national movement started only in 19th century. There are similarities between Poland and Ukraine (language, a lot of common history), but also a lot of basic differences with the Russian and Soviet world as a main one.

    • @natalias9031
      @natalias9031 2 года назад +24

      Agree. I would also say after the Christianization Poland introduced the Roman Catholic Church and tied itself with Rome, that is Western culture. Orthodoxy on the other hand means the East. It was the church that ruled for centuries, these are the facts, whether we like it or not.
      And the Latin alphabet, it may seem trivial to someone, but alphabet identifies the state to western or eastern mentality.
      So maybe neighbors but sorry to say in my opinion not similar at all. Languages maybe similar in sounding but there is nothing strange in it, the neighbors often have quite similar languages, they had to communicate somehow, but for me personally it is much easier to understand a Slovak than a Ukrainian.
      This language for Ukrainians is also a serious problem, millions of Ukrainians (I think it’s something around half of population) use Russian on a daily basis. And from what I heard, even the current president Zalensky had to learn Ukrainian on some point, because he did not use it at all before the election. And language is one of the key foundations shaping the nation. I know there are countries that don't use their own languages, but they do it because they don't have their own language, so it's not that important for them. About half of the Ukrainian population do not use or even do not know the language, having it, and in this situation it is a huge problem in shaping nationality.

      The paths to Independence for Poland and Ukraine were different. Poland fought for it, through Solidarity, whereas in Ukraine, it basically came when the Soviet Union collapsed, through no effort of their own. When you fight for Independence, you value it more. That is actually a silver lining to this war, Ukrainians will emerge from it with a greater appreciation of just what Independence means and will encourage them to improve their society.

That has changed a lot in last 20 years but all takes time. It definitely helped that we are part of EU, if there is trade and money the living standards get better.

Historically Poland is a country that suffered so many tragic things. Poland was like a tulip that was smashed down for many years not allowed to rise above the soil. Once the freedom came, the tulip was able to grow up from the ground through the rubble, and show off its beauty. One day Ukraine will come out of the rubble too. It will be bustling with tourists, families, restaurants, and museums. One day Ukraine will rise above. Right now Ukraine is hurting, and in pain in many places. We pray it will not be for too long.

People selling out their posessions on the streets for any money, poverty, drugs, mafia, corruption and political instability. And the profound ugliness everywhere you went. Only 20 years ago it was the Polish who were looking at the West in awe wandering if any of this will come to our country, and when. It is so sad to see the very same emotions on Marina's mom's face that I remember having and still have. I don't know what's coming for Ukraine, but I know it is not alone.

      How I am annoyed by these stories that 20 years ago Poland "wasn't pretty". IT WAS pretty and well cared for. I remind you that we freed ourselves from the deep crisis of the 1980s 33 years ago, and 20 years ago, for example, in Warsaw, most of the sidewalks, roads, parks, were renovated, there was a developed infrastructure for residents, public transport was at a high level as usual (I mean, even in communist era it was quite good). All facilities for the handicapped, etc. were there. Twenty years ago Poland was not so different from today, it was already a modern country, although, of course, before the infrastructural investments, which were subsidized with EU money after accession to the EU (I mean a network of highways, revitalization of old factories into commercial centers, etc.). Traveling around the country, looking at it, was a pleasure 20 years ago and 30 years ago. Revitalization of small and large cities, opening of various interesting places etc. in the provinces began in the 1990s. I would also like to point out that Poland's GDP grew sharply from 1989 to 2019, and the country changed radically literally from year to year. In some respects it has never resembled Ukraine (I mean cleanliness, order in the countryside, self-organization of society, etc.). I think that Ukraine is only now entering the stage where we were 33 years ago. It is now, at an accelerated pace, that it is finally getting rid of the burden of the "Russian world" - that monstrous mentality and political enslave, which makes it difficult to crawl out of chaos, mess, lack of civil society and all-embracing aggressive selfishness. Ukrainians are very creative, brave, good educated, intelligent ppl - I think, that their country will change very quick now.

      You are absolutely right. I live in New Jersey. The other day at the playground there was a Ukrainian family (not war refugees), their little boy (about 8yo) was breaking plants and bothering other children to the point that other families started leaving the area. Eventually his mother was confronted and her angry answer was ' this is a public space and we can do watever we want to!'. There is a large Ukrainian community in my town, and all other Ukrainians that I've met are totally opposite. People in Poland used to have that mentality 'if it's everybody's than it's nobody's' but once they became members of EU and started traveling Poland changed tremendously. So, after the war is over. And refugees go back to Ukraine richer in new experience of how life can be much more pleasant, and modern they will apply that knowledge to rebuilding Ukraine. I see this war as a big opportunity to bring Ukraine to European standards. Let's hope they prevail and don't waste the chance. I'm sure the rest of the world will help.

    It was the communism and russian imperialism that brought us both down to our knees. But in the Ukraine it lasted for 25 more years. When it finally fell we in Poland still had some people who remembered the old traditions and old ways and customs, while in Ukraine they were all long gone... All you had was homosovieticus without souls, morals and traditions. And these were the people who were in charge. Tragic as it might be this war will produce heroes, ethos and true elites that will build Ukraine you deserve and desire.

    I think Poland changed a lot after joining European Union: money started coming to Poland but also UE ensured that it was spent accordingly to agreements. It meant less corruption and more positive changes to the country. People who could not find jobs in their own towns or villages emigrated but would come back to their families to spend money in Poland and build houses. Ukraine is a sort of buffer zone between West and East and it is a very difficult place to be. Russia wants you in their sphere of influence and is stopping you from growth. It is not able to offer you what UE has on offer but it would also not let you go. Let's hope that this horrible war with Russia will end soon and make you independent from your neighbour.

    You have said "Konstancin Jeziorny". you would be right if "jeziorny" was an attributive. But it is "Konstancin-Jeziorna" because on it's origin there were two separate cities Konstancin and Jeziorna that joined together.
    I think that there are three main points why Poland and Ukraine differs. The first one is political. Because of standing danger of Russian aggression even long before the actual war Ukraine was not a good place for international business. The infrastructure especially that outside of the city-center, where less people use it, cost a lot of money. So you need high incomes from the taxes to keep it.
    The second point was that Polish people always feel that they are a part of West rather than East. Ukraine was really divided and before the Russian aggression there were still many people that wanted to cooperate with or event join the Russian Federation. There are some others, that did not want to join West nor East, and believed Ukraine should go its own way.
    The third problem is this eastern mentality that people less care about anything public, they want to be rich to show off rather than to have solid things around and live their live well.

  • @rkobojcz

    To change Ukraine you just need: money, mentality change and time. In Poland even a few years ago the small and poor cities were looking ugly and nearly hopeless. But the change is possible and quite quickly achievable. Start with patriotic behawior by paying TAXes. Local governments need money to take care of common places, streets, pedestrian walkaways, green areas. Than people need to take care about public places (prevent devastation, painting everything), stop to drop trash everywhere... but to do this you need to have many bins on the streets, and people even need to teach others on that (in gentle way). You need to stop corruption (stilling public money) as without money nothing can be really improved and build. In the recent years (from 2015 when PiS is ruling Poland) when the corruption was nearly eliminated, also grey and black market with VAT stilling, local governments are getting +50% more tax income (on country level it's something like + 70 mld zł = 15+ mld USD) so they can invest in everything. Also due to social kind money like 500+ zł (per kid) many small towns and small businesses get additional money (so additional taxes went to local governments) so than every place in Poland started to look nice and pretty! Stop corruption and everything will very quickly improve.

Nothing is changing, they make fake projects, and build everything with the cheapest materials. Ukraine is also not clean, that's not because of the people. Russians were always surprised how clean Ukraine and Kyiv was. The problem is that we have no trash service, that's why we must throw it on the street, burn it, throw it in the nature.

    It takes two things for a country to be successful: a proper set of institutions and a few decades of time. Ukraine is adopting the right set of institutions now, but it needs to stay on course for 20-30 years to start seeing effects. And that's the hardest part. People often think that adopting some reforms or changes will yield fruit in a very short period of time, but that's impossible. It takes decades to achieve high level of development, and even successful countries in Central Europe (such as Poland) are not yet on the highest development level.

    After the fall of communism, Ukraine was actually in a much better position than Poland. It had bigger and richer population, it had major industry sector, rich in resources and most fertile soils. However, while Poland started a drastic campaign of switching economy to full capitalism, Ukraine went full oligarchy. All of its wealth was stolen by said oligarchs and the country as a whole strated becoming poorer. In the early 90s many predicted Ukraine to become a major European power within a few decades. A true pity how it turned out in the end.

      ja nie żałuję w żadnym stopniu tego co stało się na Ukrainie... to są konsekwencje ich wyboru! popatrz na starszą kobietę... ona zadaje pytanie dlaczego Kliczko nie zrobił im tego co widział na zachodzie... my pytaliśmy dlaczego nie mamy tak jak na zachodzie i do tego dążyliśmy niemal wszyscy! w swoich mieszkaniach domach we wspólnotach tak tych gminnych powiatowych wojewódzkich jak i państwowych... na każdym szczeblu liczą się potrzeby wspólnoty! tej małej większej i całości! żaden polityk nie mógł bezkarnie tego pomijać i lekceważyć! owszem byli tacy politycy bo to że tak napisze ludzka natura brać dla siebie ale presja społeczna stara się takich polityków eliminować jak widzimy w stopniu znacznie większym niż na Ukrainie... a oni szukają do dziś kolejnego cara... kolejnego kultu jednostki! dziś "baćko nasz bandera..." a to odetnie im drogę do cywilizowanego świata... świat nie odbuduje im nazistowskiego państwa! kolejny raz stracą szansę na dołączenie do zachodu... jeszcze raz popatrz wstecz ile było takich konfliktów w których ważyły się losy przynależności cywilizacyjnej Ukrainy? dlaczego nic z tego do tej pory nie wyszło??? no właśnie... my nie jesteśmy władni tego zmienić... możemy jedynie na nich naciskać i wysuwać swoje żądania! ale tego nie robimy w myśl poprawności politycznej... i kolejny raz finalnie trafią do tego samego mordoru jakim jest Rosja... pod jej butem czy nie... nie ma to żadnego znaczenia...

      Ukraine was not in better shape than Poland in 1989-1991 period. Ukraine had higher GDP per capita because it had much bigger military complex, what creates GDP but not a real weatlth. Plus Ukraine was a part of "some" other country, what had to create extra problem. If in Poland there were to cooperating manufaturies, one in Warsaw, second in Krakow, it was one thing. Other thing is one factory in Kyiv, second in Moscow, third in Baku, fourth in Riga, with four different tax and law systems and four different ideas what is profitable.
      And Poland didn't have "brother" who was undermining every try of building normal country.

    Jako osoba z zewnątrz uważam, że Ukraina i tak idzie w dobrą stronę. Co i tak jest trudne patrząc na to jak bardzo rosja nie chce ich wypuścić z macek... Wiele osób pracuje w Polsce i widzi kierunek jaki można obrać. Nie wiem jak odbiera się Kliczka w Ukrainie, ale po wybuchu wojny widziałam, że sprawia mu to wszystko ogromny ból. Zresztą jednej osobie ciężko coś zmienić, do tego od razu... Mam nadzieję, że srutin wykituje, reszta się zagryzie, wszystkie tereny wrócą do Ukrainy i będą mogli w końcu obrać kierunek który chcą. Bez zdrajców i broni przy skroni.

    The answer to your question is corruption and oligarchy... I was born in 1980 I remember Poland under communist regime, in 1989 Poland and Ukraine were at the same level but here we decided to perform series of reforms, which brought the end to hyperinflation and inefficient economic structures. Many people suffered during transformation but it had to be done to obtain current level. Sadly Ukraine lost its chance to switch economy into full capitalism, I hope when the war is over you'll rebuild your country and make it better for future generations! Poles are eager to help but the real change must be done and start in the hearts and minds of Ukrainians

      jestem starszy i więcej pamiętam... piszesz naiwne bzdury... taka wręcz propaganda ukraińskiego sukcesu... w latach 90 tych niejako razem startowaliśmy... Polska zrzuciła jarzmo ruskiego mira w postaci ZSRR a Ukraina uzyskała po raz pierwszy własną niepodległość wspólnie bezkrwawo likwidując z Białorusią i Rosją ZSRR... te republiki były trzonem ideowym owego ZSRR i to było też grzechem pierworodnym nowego państwa... Ukraina miała wówczas całkiem duże międzynarodowe ambicje! niczym Rosja... przyjęto tam strategie budowania lokalnego mocarstwa skupionego w rejonie basenu morza Czarnego... dlaczego tak? bo uznano Polskę i Rosje za strategicznych wrogów i że jakakolwiek współpraca z Polska czy Rosją nas wzmacnia ich kosztem... prognozy były dość optymistyczne duże państwo ponad 50 milionów ludzi dużo dużych miast całkiem sporo przemysłu itd. itp... gdzie ty tu widzisz podobieństwa???
