Poles and Russians are old long-term enemies who have fought a number of wars over the last 1000 years. Poland and Russia fought a number of battles and skirmishes in the 13th to 16th centuries and Russia participated in the three partitions of Poland which resulted in Poland disapering from the map of Europe in 1795. When Poland reapeared after WW1 Soviet Russia took advantage of Poland's initial weak situation and attacked Poland resulting in a prolonged war which finished in 1920. Russia attacked Poland again on 17 September 1939 as part of the Nazi-Soviet pack against Poland which started WW2. Russia has committed a number of attrocitied against Polish nationals including the 1940 Katyn messacre of over 20,000 Polish officers and intellectuals which was designed to wipe out Polish national identy and facilite Russification of Polish population occupied by the Russians during WW2.
