The parts where the heaviest protests take place correlate with the pre-WW II Polish borders: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curzon_Line

Being from Poland I wish our politicians tried to use this situation as an opportunity to re-annex western part of Ukraine. Maybe not entire half of it, but f.eg. Lvov used to be a beautiful Polish city before the war.



Sigh... that's a really stupid idea. And what else would you want to revert to what time exactly? Give Wrocław away? Maybe also the tri-city? And get some of the Turkey instead? Isn't the worst part of Polish history about other countries annexing parts of it when there's noone to protect it? Yet you propose to do exactly the same thing here.


... and an Austrian city long before that


... and Ukrainian (technically Ruthenian) city long before that. [1]

So, xiadzpl, don't hold your breath. [2]

You cannot turn back the wheel of time.


Just like your country annexed part of Czechoslovakia at the beginning of WW2. Some people never learn.
