At the 25th anniversary, Poland is resurgent. The solidarity - TopicsExpress



          

At the 25th anniversary, Poland is resurgent. The solidarity movement from 25 years ago really did work, and the fall of communism followed by democracy a real solution for the people of Poland. Rapid economic growth, the accession in to the European Union and membership in Nato are very much a part of of the proud national heritage now. Poland today is very near to being a top-tier western european country, with modern everything except for one very large relic in the middle of Warsaw, a Palace of Culture straight from Moscow. Polish citizens and their leaders are assertive, and excited in a way the more mature European leaders seem to have forgotten. In addition to being a historic figure for all of us, Lech Walesa is funny, charismatic and acerbic at the same time about the politicians now praising him. After a wonderful day of Google announcements and a state dinner including President Obama, the new President of Ukraine, I found myself with the Crimean Tatars displaced by the Russians in Crimea and Mustafa Dzhemilev, a soviet dissident similar to Walesa. Poor but rich in spirit, we rode the city bus to the event. m.wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/wiadomosci/1,117915,16096204,Eric_Schmidt_o_Polsce__To_inny_kraj_niz_wszystkie.html
