Clearly, you ignored my friendly advice to read before pressing POST.
For a moment I thought I sensed a distant smell of a burning garbage dump, but it was just Novichok opening his malodorous mouth and trying to express some semi-coherent thought. Please, don't do it in the future. Spare yourself an embarrassment.
Before WW2 living standards in Poland were low, but higher than in places like Portugal or Greece.
After 44 years of 'communust progression' brought to us by Ruskies we found ourselves way behind Greece and Portugal. 34 years later of quick economic growth and we're merely catching up.
That's the true result of Russian rule over Poland - a civilizational abyss that grew between us and the West. Only now we're slowly crossing it.
We know history does not stop. That's why we invest the highest amount of GDP into defense of all European NATO members (maybe except Greece) and see to that both NATO and our relations with the US are strong.
We're trying to be as prepared for what future brings as possible.
