Warsaw 1920: The Battle Lenin Lamented as “an Enormous Defeat” for Communist Russia

Very recommendable! I have to admit I did not know about this important historical event or had totally forgotten about it!



Did you know that the Polish people stopped the eastward expansion of Russian communism in 1920?



It always amazes me how brave the Polish people have been in history! Just a few examples Tadeusz Kościuszko, Leszek BalcerowiczLech Walesa



"Soviet victories in the summer of 1920 looked unstoppable, as Moscow’s Red Army pushed to within striking distance of the Polish capital. From August 12-25, the Battle of Warsaw raged. Foreign observers expected the imminent collapse of Poland. Then, the tactical brilliance of Pilsudski and his chief of staff Tadeusz Jordan-Rozwadowski plus the legendary courage of Polish fighters combined to produce what Poles call “the Miracle on the Vistula.” "
