history is never one-sided like hand-picking of facts and interpretations tends to present. Together with the "occupation by Russia" Poland also got to annex significant parts of German territories (some of those had had no valid Polish claim, like for example the Prussia, some had been historically contested between German and Poland) - it was practically spoils of war gifted by the "Russian occupiers" to Poland (any gratitude for the gift?). The "occupation" has ended 30 years ago, and that is basically a right thing. Any plans on giving the annexed territories back?

Yes, we’re planning to return it to Sorbia once Germany grants it independence. /s

Polish borders were decided in Postdam conferrence between USA, UK and USSR with a pupped goverment that acted as reprezentation of Poland. But they were USSR designates. Polish government in excile was not invited to the talks. So Poland could not annex anything. The big 3 decided how to draw borders.

  i see. So, Poland was a victim forced by the occupants to take the lands. "They made us do it!". Well, now that the occupants is long gone, and the Poland is finally free ... When does Poland is going to get rid of this last disgusting vestige and symbol of occupation, ie. those foreign lands forced upon the Poland? As far as i see, judging by the booming development of resorts and everything else going on for example on the Baltic sea shores in the former Prussia, Poland is planning to enjoy these "forced" gifts from the occupants for a very long time ahead. All that while continuing to cry how bad the "occupation" was for Poland. :)
