      *Why do Polish people hate Russians more than any other nation in Europe or probably in the World? I am a Pakistani, I live in America, and Polish and some Romanian people told me that Russians are assholes, but because Russians are usually nice with people of Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Siri Lanka, Egypt, and Morocco, therefore, it is hard for me to believe that Russians are assholes towards Polish, Romanian, Chechan, Tatar, Ukrainian, Czech, etc.*

      Europe as a whole for centuries has been like spiders in a bottle. This makes the fascinating history of those Spaniards, Napoleon (Bernadotte-Sweden), England, Austro-Hungary, and all the rest. And Germans, of course! I wonder if it makes the participants "a bit skeptical" about one another or if it is only about Russia? I believe Russia cannot be good for Europeans no matter what it does: it failed with Czars, Bolsheviks, and post-Soviets. Only a total loss of self-identity and interests is what is needed to satisfy you guys. Just be honest.

A Russian who is able to understand that will be always wellcomed. You don't like Warsaw? It's your right. But you should know, that apart from Hitler, Stalin is also responsible for destroying the city by waiting till Hiter's army devastate the city and kill 200 000 inhabitants during Warsaw Uprising. You are not responsible for that, but your attitude to your regimes counts, sorry. Forgive me for judging you too severely, because I know what kind of a country you live in.

      Some Russians and Ukrainians don't know their history. They don't know what they did to the Circassians, Tatars, the Siberian Turkic people, or the Japanese people after WWII. They were sinking civilian evacuation ships for fun. Russian Far East is full of people with partial Ukrainian ancestry, because Ukrainians were the vanguards for Imperial Russian colonization...and now they're being sent to Ukraine to fight many Ukrainians who have partial Russian ancestry. The Ukrainian faction was a influential political force in Soviet Union after Stalin, yet Ukrainians now claim they were under Russian cultural and political occupation and play the victim card.

    "Please do not be offended, but I did not like your city at all" How do you expect people to react to such an observation? Why did you not like Warsaw? It has many beautiful baroque buildings; in fact is more similar to St. Petersburg than Moscow. BTW, if you did not like the city "at all" how is it possible that you had "a great time "over there? I am Italian and I know that there has been bad blood between the Poles and your people and I sympathize with Russia. Having said that and knowing quite well the history of both countries, WHY did you go there? It seems to me a stupid thing to do particularly when, at the end of the video, you advised your countrymen not to go to Poland, although you admitted you were NEVER treated badly.

      A: She was under impression, having no other choice, but to go there. See, she needed a US visa for family reasons.
      US suspended all visa issuance in Russia, so Russians have to travel to an other country. She did not know, she could be (much) better off to travel to Belgrade, Serbia or to Ankara (Turkiye). The consular agreement between USA and Russia allows that. Instead, she felt being forced to travel to a country with 400+ years of political controversy. Little poor lady knew, the things are not as tough, as in imagination. And there is no need to travel to Warszawa if same thing can be done in Belgrade.
      The same goes the "other" way and if you notice in the comments Polish people are split on the topic.
      On my side I was never treated badly in Poland and the more I travel there, the more I like. I travel there very often because in order to reach Kaliningrad I have no choice, but transit through Poland. I did not feel any sympathy of Polish people towards my license plates (USA). Many are straight grimacing at them, sometimes even the border guards. When they learn that I am either Russian or Hungarian things improve dramatically.
      So my experience with Poland: the least popular country is probably US of A. But it never goes really bad, just you feel the shoulders being turned and see the grimace. Remember: if I drive my car, the word "USA" is literally written on my forehead. Even if the things are a bit different.

      There is a bigger picture as well. Maybe your reasons are justified. Maybe not. Maybe 80% of "us" (now wearing my Russian hat, not the American and not the Hungarian) do support what you say (I am carefully avoiding the word "war", notice that!). Or maybe not.
      It is not that hard to figure out, one way or the other: more communication!
      Besides, with more communication you would have more chance to convince "us" that "we" are dead wrong.
      The opposite is also true: hell knows, maybe I convince you, that there is nothing better than Russia.
      I, too, need one thing to do that: meet with you.
      Now step back and decide for yourself: who did cut off all communication and make the travel for people as hard as possible both ways?
      As far as I see: the sanctions (esp. the travel sanctions) are incredibly easy to break. I travel back and forth, have no or little restrictions and observe. The poor lady who made this clip was suffering merely due her inexperience, not because it is impossible.
      You may remember the idiotic logic like "travel is luxury, why not prohibit Russians to travel?". Same logic was expressed multiple times by Zelensky himself and Ursula. (Do we "LOVE" them both!). Than the story behind the confiscation of cars. This is illegal, by the way.
      If you go back you see the roots: the people around Victoria Nuland. She is the undersecretary of State and a known neo-con.
      Why did Biden chose a hawkish neo-con to be his undersecretary of State escapes me. The rest of the story (Zelensky, Ursula, cars with Russian plates, partial suspension of Schengen, etc.) is just revolving around her. Luckily she will be gone soon (thanks to elections!) and let's see, maybe sound logic will prevail.
      Anyway: without contacts, travel and trade on all levels people get isolated and going to be stewed in own pot.

      What reasons? If you think that, you don't understand what is going on in Ukraine, don't know all facts behind it, and you only believe in antirussian propaganda. Of course we have difficult history with Russia and USSR (but as you may know, its authorities were not only Russians, but Ukrainians or Jews as well), but we also have difficult history with Germany, and yet, now we are in one alliance with them, and we trade with them. Things change, but polish russophobia is still cultivated.

I'm only talking about the context of international relations. When it comes to interpersonal relations, I wouldn't expect such antipathies, I personally know several Russians and I have a very good opinion of them, but it's probably because they emigrated to Poland as a sign of opposition to Putin's policies. I assume that Russians really can be good and intelligent people, it's just a pity that lately they have had so little opportunity to prove it. Really such a pity because I think that Russian culture has a lot to offer to the civilized world, I am personally a big fan of Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy.

    From my experience in Poland, everyone I met had normal attitudes toward Russians. I talked with a lot of people about so many things. The only European country I visited and found anti-Russian sentiments was in Hungary, many years ago. I met people there with very strong anti-Russian sentiments. They were also a little disappointed with the United States for not saving them, under Soviet domination. This is why the situation with Orban today is so counter-intuitive. I hear he was he used to be strongly anti-Russian himself and only changed in recent years after visiting Moscow and Beijing and then receiving Russian investment and gas supply. Hungarians are a unique people in Europe but their anger toward Russia stems from brutal suppression under Soviet domination. They told me that literally every Hungarian stood against them and Russia overwhelmed them with massive military force. They tell me Russia had listening posts and microphones hidden everywhere to catch and abduct Hungarians who said anything that did not like.

Orban had the sentiment change towards Russia. Because Russia is not a liberal country, it became idolized by far-rights. Hungary has become a very far-right country under Orban's regime.

    И даже если какие-то люди в Еропе или даже Украине имеют предубеждение к русским, они все равно отнесутся к русским ЦИВИЛИЗОВАННО, а именно дружелюбно и этично, потому что это... ну, просто нормальное человеческое поведение в обществе.

      It IS true that Russians are often perceived in a negative manner. Mostly in western Europe. In slavic countries of Eastern and Southern Europe, even if there are strong anti-Russian beliefs in a lot of the population, there is more of a cultural bond, so it is easier to bypass the political aspect. But of course, if you want an easy way out, you can always denounce your heritage, Putin, etc. Self-hating Russians are pretty easily accepted.

    I often truly enjoy watching your videos as you travel from either within Russia or other countries. They generally are uplifting, informative and positive.
    I found this video to be unfortunate in its thumbnail description as after watching it twice, you clearly had a positive experience traveling there in Poland or specifically in Warsaw.
    In this video you actually did not encounter any polish or Ukrainian citizens that were angry or agitated with you in being a Russian citizen. In fact it was the opposite, people there were friendly and magnanimous in their interactions with you…no negativity or nastiness. Yes, there are often arrogant people we all encounter on any given day in this world as you point out either in Warsaw or Moscow too!
    I believe that you may have been tired or jet lagged in running around and having unfortunately forfeited non-refundable money whether it be for airlines or hotels reservations. Things like this happen from time to time and we travelers need to accept these occasions at time and keep moving forward. By the way, I never fear once for you being completely without financial resources as your fiancée will of course always have you back just as I do for my fiancée who lives in Brazil. She has nothing to fear financially speaking as I’m a phone call away from her!
    I would suggest that sometime in the future when you’re rested and relaxed that you rewatch this video with open minded thoughtfulness. I believe that you will find that your own internalized perspective has possibly colored your outlook of Poland and in particular while visiting Warsaw. Remember these initial feelings you had were internalized and possibly based on your own expectations or predetermined beliefs or thinking in traveling to Poland.
    I only heard that you encountered generally happy, warm and welcoming people either polish or Ukrainian who treated you with respect, kindness and in a hospitable manner. Your presentation in this video clearly shows this. How about the kindness of the two men who gifted you with a cheesecake…such a wonderful gesture and surprise to you!
    Finally, you did accomplish your mission in securing your fiancée visa…congratulations! I think if I had to make the “very circuitous trip” that you did to travel from St. Petersburg to Warsaw I would likely be a bit tired, with frayed internal feelings or emotions too! I believe that everyday Polish or Ukrainians citizens don’t hate Russians…they more than likely hate Putin, the Russian government and its military.
    Safe travels to you! 😊

      For any foreigners here, the adjective "ruski" also depicts anything Russian in informal Polish (as opposed to the formal "rosyjski"), much like "Russkie" has been used in informal English. It's been so for at least few tens of years (I'm not knowledgeable of the exact timelines here) with the formal and basic meaning of the adjective "ruski" still pertaining to all things Ruthenian (as in the Rus') though.

      I experimented with that (and with no risk for me). There is a transit agreement between Russia and Lithuania: Lithuania MUST allow Russians transit from Kaliningrad to Moscow. If one has a car: no problem. The car navigation system is... going to be "damaged" and you land up crossing the Suwalki gap "by accident". To make sure, I asked Polish police, what would they do if my car would have Russian plates. "As long as you have Schengen visa: nothing, you will be fine". Read the fine print: Poland does not allow Russians to enter from Kaliningrad DIRECTLY (and here we have one little funny thing: they prohibit American citizens without possibility to review the decision, but the Russian citizens can appeal to the most senior border guard of the shift. I know that precisely because we made even more experiments). Anyway, this entire thing is as insane as possible and with little diligence easy to break.
      But 99% of the Russians are afraid and can't read English between the line. And even if they would, they have no courage to confront the Polish or Lithuanian authorities directly. But having an American and a EU passport in the pocket helps!

    I have the impression that you brought your belief about Poland as the most Russophobic country in the world from Russia. There's nothing we can do about it in Poland, although you can be sure that if you come to Poland again she will be safe. We in Poland have no problem with the Russians, we just don't understand why you attack "friendly" nations. If Russian soldiers, who are Russians after all,
    they would behave towards Ukrainians as you do at the airport in Warsaw, I think you could get an American visa in St. Petersburg, and your bank cards would work throughout Europe. Judge for yourself whether I am a Russophobe - I am sure of one thing - I am Polish.

    Pierogi RUSKIE the name does not come from Russia. There was a Ruskie Voivodeship in Poland before World War II. And it was the Poles living in those areas who made such dumplings. And when Poland's border was changed after World War II, Poles from the Ruskie Voivodeship were forced to leave this territory, also because of the Volhynian massacre, and they are now throughout Poland. Thats it.

    Hmmm, Swieta, it's as if you're a bit disappointed not to have experienced any noteworthy instances of blunt Russophobia in our country.
    To put it briefly (as there are many angles and lots of stuff to this topic): why would a guest (visitor) who is a regular individual, friendly (or minding their own business at the very least) and not causing any troubles bother us? Why should we be inhospitable by default? We're not like that. Also, good looks translate well in every country (😉) and your cheesecake story confirms that.
    Warsaw is a whole another animal (as in prettier) when it all gets full green in mid-spring and stays so during summer. And it offers lots of things for just about anyone, be it leisure, all sorts of activities, cultural events or shopping.
    If you’re into medieval stuff (as in late-medieval architecture and likewise-themed museums) then Toruń is the place to hit on your way from Warsaw to Trójmiasto (or the Tri-City: Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia). The Old and New Towns of Toruń are remarkable.
    If you’re a skier the place to go in winter is our part of the Tatras. The added bonus is that you can enjoy the folklore of our highlanders (or the „Górale”) there.
    If you and your posse can sail, you may be interested in visiting the Mazury region (or Masuria) in summer: you can rent a sailboat and sail the interconnected lakes there for a few days. In addition to having good time and getting a nice tan you’ll enjoy some gorgeous scenery there (it’s a heavily forested and non-industrialized area).

    Ok, after reading some comments, i wanna write my own post…about my opinion!
    Many Russians, and for sure also other people in the world, but especially Russians, do have very often a completely wrong definition of special words! I noticed this on my frequent travels there…
    Sometimes i felt, like for them black is white etc…
    But especially here we speak about Russophobia! And this doesn’t mean “hatred” (i do not hate spiders, but i have arachnophobia!)! So, many polish people really have lots of FEAR, they feel frightened and it’s more than logic, knowing their history! Therefore it’s important to know and to understand the differences. Phobia is an extreme fear…
