πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± #Poland submitted 7️⃣ restitution applications to #Russia πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί. The applications are for the return of cultural goods and works of art stolen by the Red Army during #WWII.

#ReparationsForPoland @PiotrGlinski #RepublicNow #UNREDEEMED @KimOosterlinck #art #PolishHistory #stolenart
Of all the countries #Poland suffered the greatest #WWII losses, also in the terms of art & culture. Contemporary experts estimated the museal losses alone to >πŸ“πŸŽ%. To this day, in manyπŸ‡΅πŸ‡± museums there are empty frames, a symbol ofπŸ‡΅πŸ‡± war losses #unredeemed #ReparationsForPoland
@PiotrGlinski pointed that "from the beginning, πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ carried out a planned&systematic robbery of public, private&church collections".

"However, it was not only the πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ who robbed πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± cultural goods. On Sept 17, 1939 the Red Army together with "art experts" entered πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± territory"
"The nationwide campaign inaugurated today is thus under the eponymous name "Empty Frames" (puste ramy), so to remind everyone of the works of art and historic buildings looted during #WWII by both πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ and πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί"

First, some comic relief with the courtesy of @19Daro45 (with minor touch ups from yours truly πŸ˜‰)

Ps. @PGZ_pl, this one is for you β€” @19Daro45's work is @ClioAwards worthy πŸ†
In June, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ gov't signed a $65mln contract with πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± for 72 πŸ¦€ Krab howitzers, of which the first 18 have been "donated" 🎁.

AΒ statement from @BoeingDefense said that they were "honored the Government of πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± has selected the AH-64E Apache for the #Polish Armed Forces’ new attack helicopter fleet."

Fr. #PopieΕ‚uszko β€” πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± priest, martyr & hero. A 🧡

When Communist officials kidnapped & killed Fr PopieΕ‚uszko, they likely did not intend to help create a πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± hero, martyr & future saint

@AleteiaPl @AleteiaEN @ks_Marcin_J @ekaipl #PolishHistory @EpiskopatNews @Abp_Gadecki @ekaipl
Jerzy PopieΕ‚uszko was born #OTD in 1947 to a farming family in Okopy, a village in eastern #Poland bordering modern-day #Ukraine. While #WWII had ended, the regime of the Communist Party had taken place of the πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ and πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί occupants and ruled πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± at the time. Image
As a young man, PopieΕ‚uszko served his required time in the army before completing seminary studies and becoming a priest for the Archdiocese of Warsaw. He was ordained on May 28, 1972 at the age of 24. Image
