    Po co w ogóle ich ruszać, niech se leżą na Wołyniu. Przecież im i tak już wszystko jedno

  2. Nareszcie. Może w końcu zakończymy ten etap i ludzie będą mogli spocząć w spokoju.

  3. >[The[ Volyn (Volhynia) tragedy](https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/columns/2023/07/11/7410813/) was a series of events that led to the **ethnic cleansing of the Polish and Ukrainian populations** in 1943 during World War II. It was part of a long-standing rivalry between Ukrainians and Poles in what is now Ukraine’s west. Poland considers the Volyn tragedy a genocide of Poles – ed.]

    Yeah, that inspires confidence in the output of the research.

    Seems like a step in a good direction but I’d wait with champagne till we get the results.

    At last! Very good, if a looot belated, thing to do. Basic respect first, bury the dead in a proper manner, then we can discuss historical matters for decades, if we’re willing to.

    This, when it actually starts happening, will help the strained Polish-Ukrainian relations significantly.

  5. If it’s going to be a Ukrainian-led exhumation, not a Polish-led exhumation, I doubt it’s going to help change the hostility towards Ukrainians.Â
