Uh, most obvious likely cause to me is that Polish adults grew up under Soviet
ruleinfluence while Polish teens didn’t.Edit: JFC. How about Poles lived under the spectre of the Kremlin. Or the Polish government was seen by many as merely a puppet of the Kremlin.
My opinion offered to OP remains the same: one reason Polish adults and teens might have different opinions on Russia is that they have experienced different periods of time with very different relationships with Russia.
Poland was never part of the Soviet Union. Unless they lived in the USSR and later moved to Poland, they did not “grow up under Soviet rule”.
Ticky tacky over definition. USSR invaded without “technically declaring war” and the “technically sovereign” Polish government was heavily under Soviet influence. If I ask a Pole who was in charge before 1989, they’ll say the Kremlin.
If you ask a lib who’s in charge of the economy, they’ll say the invisible hand of the market. Doesn’t mean it’s true.
Uh, go back to the question. It’s asking about perception and why a Polish adult (who experienced Society influence before 1989) might have a different perspective than a Polish teen (who didn’t).
You’re looking for a fight that doesn’t exist with me, bud.

Never let little things like “facts” get in the way of a good bit of rhetoric
It is a fact that Polish adults lived under a very different system pre-1989 and have a perspective that Polish teens don’t. That’s the question being asked by OP, that’s the answer I offered what I saw as a likely contributor.
I have stated no opinion on whether I think Russia’s involvement up until 1989 is good or bad and I am 0% interested in that particular fight with Russian bots and defenders. Have a good one.
And it’s a fact that Poland was not part of the USSR and polish adults didn’t grow up under “soviet rule”
Never let someone coming back to correct and clarify their statement get in the way of being crowned Technically Correct on an Internet Forum. Jeebus, read the question.
Oh sorry, I must have missed the bit where you corrected yourself, I just saw the bit where you tried to deflect it as “ticky tacky over definition”
And I must have missed where you where anything but pedantic in a way that didn’t add to OPs question.
I guess I should correct myself on another topic. Putin isn’t really invading Ukraine, he was invited there. There was no war for the first two years of the invasion because he hadn’t officially declared it.
Who liberated the concentration camps?
You’ll have to explain the relevance of that question, please, I’m not seeing the connection.
fair
Funny how, growing up without a boot on your throats changes your opinion.
