We will be able to trace the history from the very beginning, when the two states were in the early stages of their formation. Why did the Poles want to conquer Kievan Rus? How did the invasion of the Golden Horde affect the relationship between the two peoples? Why, in the 18th century, did Russian subjects risk being killed on the streets of Warsaw? How did the Poles become close associates of the Russian emperor in the 19th century, and what impact did this have on politics? What role did Napoleon’s rise to power play in Russian-Polish relations?
You will find the answers to these and other interesting questions by watching the two-part documentary movie “1812. The Polish Trace” online on ivi.
