The Polish culture was created through significant influence of Western nations. Not Russian. Some insignificant personalities can't disapprove that.Significant part of Russian culture was created by Poles, significant part of Polish culture has been based on the Russian one.Linguistically yes. Culturally - not so sure.They are less different than Slavic and Germanic ones.It is quite understandable that the South Slaves would prefer Russia rather than Turkey.Yes, the relations between Slavic states never were simple, but they always have been relations between relatives.Yes, but that is illogical. During all times they were enemies (If we don't count the Sovit era when Poland didn't have a choice). And support Putin who play with former 'grandees' of Russia?No. You know, not all Poles are russophobes, many of them prefer "Russian brothers" to Americans and Germans.I wonder what Pollack would write Putin in the bulletin. Is it a form of masochism?Poland’s highly-charged presidential election is too close to call and a bitter battle that pitted a conservative incumbent against a pro-European alternative is bound to get more complicated.
An exit poll showed President Andrzej Duda with a thin margin over his rival, Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski. Both men declared victory and the challenger’s campaign is talking of “irregularities” in voting and planning protests. The highest turnout since the fall of communism shows that Poles are hugely invested in the vote.
Duda’s exit-poll lead -- 51% to 49% -- doesn’t take into account nearly half a million votes by Poles living abroad that may favor the challenger. Official results may be published on Monday.

Of course, the idea of Panslavism was more popular in the south Slavic states (even Russians are better than the Turks), but it is rather popular in West Slavic nations, too.
Blood is thicker than water.
The idea of Panslavism is an idea utopia. The political mentality are too different between Western and Eastern Slavs.
Now Pawel Kornew and Andrzej Sapkowski are much more popular in Poland and Russia, than Wolfgang Hohlbein in both of them.
And even in the terms of political culture, there were pretty good reasons to create V4 within the EU.
What is V4? The Vishegrad group?
