Wojciech Rohatyn Popkiewicz: MUZEUM OF FIAR STALINA
date:15 April 2025 Editor: Anna
I don't like coming to Warsaw. I get off the train and I see a nightmare. The palace of the name of Joseph Stalin. The name is not exposed today, but the palace is brillating in the background of tv news, regardless of options. The information window on Poland, which is simply a free country and God wants to bless it. From the bird's eye, we see an uncaptured Capital... The bird flies further above her streets and roofs and... hits a clock-covered tower. Is that the tower of the Royal Castle? No illusions. This is the icing top of the world's largest cake, which was given to us by Generalissimos Józef Wisarionowicz Jugaszvili Stalin. Out of sympathy and friendship.
After all, he did not deficiency friends here - a brat, brats and Baumans on which he could always count. Artists' salon .
Oh, it hurts to list the names of talented worshipers, among whom there was no shortage of later Nobel laureates. There was besides a taboo of mediocre usurpers, who for decades took the place of the murdered elite of our nation. It was him, a large lover of planet peace, who repeatedly cut off our head with the intention of never increasing back.
So he was 1 of the main authors of the 1920s atrocities, though as an army commander he failed to show off. Rape on women, torture of prisoners before the murder, arson of villages and robbery of palaces – it was just a taste of what would have been done if the heroic effort of Poles under the leadership of Józef Piłsudski did not halt the Bolshevik wave. Our diplomacy did not work so well and as a consequence of the Treaty of Riga, 2 Polish border voivodships were located inside the russian Union, assuming grateful names of Marchlewszczyzna and Dzierzyńszczyzna. Stalin solves the Polish issue with a decisive move. At his command, 111,000 men are murdered by a shot in the occipital, which is later called a Katyn shot. A fewer years later, Katyn is just 22 1000 officers. Lying about this genocide was the foundation of the Polish People's Republic It was not written about this in the textbooks of history, as present is overlooked by the even greater crime of genocide committed by Stalin's hatchers and by his order during the period of peace preceding planet War II. respective 100 1000 widows and children murdered then Poles were taken to Siberian catorgy.
In this place, for the first time, I urge looking at the summit of the Palace of Culture as a support for another good and ugly presenter. A wonderful Gift on the tv screen sends us this city that surrounds it, raised from the sea of ruins. We besides sent for Warsaw a brick recovered from the rubble. besides the blocks cut from the Lower Silesian quarries became the facade of the palace. Stalin's actual “present” was, however, to keep his army on the Prague bank of the Vistula. At the time, he didn't rush to Berlin. He blocked the airports for Allied machines, which, after being dropped for the Uprising, crashed for deficiency of fuel returning to Italy. In Warsaw, only in these 63 days as many of my fellow countrymen as in Hiroshima and Nagasaki died together. The engagement of the benevolent generalissimus is at least half. Just before the Uprising, German troops began to evacuate west.
The palace was meant to make national and global news credible. In the post-war chronicle of films read by Andrzej Łapicki, there were shots from court trials, where heroes called the Cursed Soldiers were sentenced to death.
The music of Chopin was in the background. The chronicles, due to the fact that their nameless were buried among the curses of thousands in dumpsters. But Chopin's ceremony march sounded at fresh funerals of communist dignitaries.
Well, a lie must have an effective setting. If there were tv in Stalin’s years, there would most likely be Kremel towers in the background of the screen.
The Council of St. Alexander Newski in Saski Square in Warsaw was demolished after 123 years of Russian partition. Voices about the demolition of Stalin Palace appear more and more frequently, although Jan Pietrzak. It besides becomes the object of a circumstantial cult. His Jubilee was a great, joyful fete owned by the city authorities. Commemorative publications were produced. While the cross on Giewont can be erased in planet advertising, the palace is invariably a visual symbol advertising our country beyond its borders. I would love to blow it up, but I already know what kind of screams will be raised by eclectic architects, lovers of history, in which Poland is abnormal and all this Warsaw which voted for Trzaskowski. So I have another variant that would be partially satisfying besides for those good Warsawers who go to theatres in the palace all day, lead the kids to the swimming pool, perceive to concerts in the legislature Hall. Provided that Alexander's choir does not execute there.
Well: There should be a world-wide stalinism museum. A fewer floors of underground casamate can be arranged in prisons and camps. Among real objects, documentation, films, there are the crimes committed by this totalitarianism towards the Polish people. Even against many another nations, including the millions of victims of the russian Union nations with Russian and Ukrainian leadership. This should be seen in 1 place not only by Polish youth, but by guests arriving from abroad. This may be a task comparable to the Warsaw Uprising Museum. I would have humiliated this monument by castrating the needle so it wouldn't exceed
The heighteners of modern Warsaw, but that is simply a substance for discussion. Did you know that the same, though a small smaller palace stands in Riga? Only there was besides a large museum of Stalinism victims erected. Soso Jugashvili is second on the podium after Mao. Hitler has a bronze medal. King Leopold of Belgium did not fit, but in Brussels he has a monument.To whom, but Stalin deserves specified a planet museum, which prof. Gliński forgot.
W Moscow won't build him.
