The Ukrainian case is very different, since there never was any “Ukrainian state” in history. If history has taught the Russians anything is that every single time Russia was weak the Poles invaded. The big question is this: how do you deal with such hate-filled lunatics when they are your neighbors? From a Russian point of view, these neighbors are constantly shifting their position on a spectrum roughly ranging between “minor pain in the ass” to “existential threat”, so this is nothing trivial. If tomorrow the Kremlin decided to send truckloads of gold to the Ukraine or Poland, they would accept it, of course, but as soon as the last truck crossed the border the Polish and Ukrainian nationalists would resume their usual mantras about “Poland/the Ukraine not perishing yet” (they both have these paranoid words in their essentially similar national anthems) along with their usual policies. the Ukrainian nationalists will see that as a devious plan to try to entrap or otherwise deceive the Ukrainians. The Ukrainian case, in particular, will show that even if Russians give them loans, credits, favorable trade terms, security guarantees, etc. To think that some kind of action (short of collective national suicide, of course) would appease those suffering from PBS is delusional. It is absolutely crucial to understand that the PBS is deeply ideological in its nature and causes. There is nothing, absolutely nothing which the Russians could do to try to minimize the severity of the PBS. Bottom line is this: the PBS is here to stay and Russians would be naive in the extreme to hope that it will just vanish.
I would also add that while right now Poland is enjoying a much hoped for “minute of fame” (being useful to the Empire against Russia) this pipe dream will also come crashing down sooner rather than later, and that inevitable collapse with also result in a sharp rise of the PBS. Finally, the abject failure of the AngloZionist policies in the Ukraine and the subsequent civil war will probably lead to a break-up of the Ukraine, in one form or another, and that will also greatly contribute to the vitality of the PBS. Third, the AngloZionist Empire, especially in its current position of rapid decline, will allocate a great deal of resources to keep the PBS alive and well. Second, years of Communist rule followed by a sudden collapse of the Soviet Empire gave this syndrome a huge boost. For one thing, we are dealing with a syndrome with deep historical roots. So, for our purposes, I will simplify and call it the “ Pilban Syndrome” ( PBS) in honor of the two “great heroes” of the Polish and West Ukrainian nationalists: Jozef Pilsudski and Stepan Bandera.įriends, the Pilban Syndrome is here to stay. The syndrome we are looking at is therefore not really a “Polish” one, but an East European one, but calling it “East European” would also be incorrect.
A willingness to say anything and do anything to get the external ally to extend protection, threaten Russia or, even better, participate in a long-awaited “march on Moscow”.Īgain, whether this is a result of centuries of Russian oppression, imperialism, violence and persecutions or the result of the Papist ideology makes absolutely no difference for our purposes.Īlso, when we look at the various symptoms of our “Polish Syndrome” we immediately see that it is not unique to Poles or Poland – the Ukrainians, especially the western Ukrainians, display all the same characteristics as their Polish neighbors (as do the Balts, but they are too small, weak and irrelevant to be included here).A deep insecurity about itself resulting in a neverending policy of finding external allies, including Hitler, to take on the “big guy”.A dream of finally submitting the Orthodox Church to the Papacy (or, in its latest iteration, to “ consecrate Russia to the immaculate heart of Mary“).A deep seated inferiority complex towards both the East and the West as lyrically expressed in the Ukrainian slogan “ let us drown the Poles in Russian and Jewish blood!“.A deep and bitter resentment at having been militarily defeated over and over again and a subsequent hope for a grandiose revanche.A strong desire to be “part of the West” (as opposed to an imaginary “despotic Asia”) while in reality having little or nothing in common with the said “West”.
Phobia (hatred and fear) for Russia and everything Russian.

We can ascribe all sorts of causes for it, some will describe the Poles look as heroic victims, others as greedy hyenas, but for our purposes we don’t even need to dwell into history to list a series of symptoms which, when taken together, we could call the “Polish Syndrome”: Today I will try to answer it, going step by step. When I read it I thought “now that is an interesting question indeed!”. A reader, SunriseState, has recently posted the following question in the comments section: “ what would you say is the most optimal Russian strategy vs Poland?“.
