She loved dabbling in water and would sing beautifully, making the lives of the people and animals living in the area more enjoyable. But a greedy merchant captured her, locked her in a chest, and wanted to travel across the country, showcasing her on fairs, CAPITAL and earning money on her wonderful voice. A young fisherman heard her loud cry, and turned to his friends to rescue her together. Grateful mermaid promised to protect them and guard the town they would establish here. • Warsaw area code is: (+48) 22 • post codes: from 00-XXX to 04-XXX, and 05-075 and 05-077. 7 CAPITAL CAPITAL PRACTICAL INFORMATION The Mayor heads the city administration, and is appointed in open election by city residents.

The text is also available in French and Russian (see attached pdf files). The Battle of Warsaw was one of the most important moments of the Polish-Bolshevik war, one of the most decisive events in the history of Poland, Europe and the entire world. However, excluding Poland, this fact is almost completely unknown to the citizens of European countries. This phenomenon was noticed a decade after the battle had taken place by a British diplomat, Lord Edgar Vincent d’Abernon, a direct witness of the events. In his book of 1931 “The Eighteenth Decisive Battle of the World: Warsaw, 1920”, he claimed that in the contemporary history of civilisation there are, in fact, few events of greater importance than the Battle of Warsaw of 1920. There is also no other which has been more overlooked. To better understand the origin and importance of the battle of Warsaw, one needs to become acquainted with a short summary of the Polish-Bolshevik war and, first and foremost, to get to know the goals of both fighting sides. We ought to start with stating the obvious, namely, that the Bolshevik regime, led by Vladimir Lenin, was, from the very beginning, focused on expansion. Prof. Richard Pipes, a prolific American historian, stated: “the Bolsheviks took power not to change Russia, but to use it as a trampoline for world revolution”.

  • They Fought for Independent Poland
    2019 Special edition PISMO CODZIENNE Independence Day, November 11, 2019 FREE AGAIN! THEY FOUGHT FOR INDEPENDENT POLAND Dear Readers, The day of November 11 – the National Independence Day – is not accidentally associated with the Polish military uni- form, its symbolism and traditions. Polish soldiers on almost all World War I fronts “threw on the pyre their lives’ fate.” When the Polish occupiers were drown- ing in disasters and revolutions, white- and-red flags were fluttering on Polish streets to mark Poland’s independence. The Republic of Poland was back on the map of Europe, although this was only the beginning of the battle for its bor- ders. Józef Piłsudski in his first order to the united Polish Army shared his feeling of joy with his soldiers: “I’m taking com- mand of you, Soldiers, at the time when the heart of every Pole is beating stron- O God! Thou who from on high ger and faster, when the children of our land have seen the sun of freedom in all its Hurls thine arrows at the defenders of the nation, glory.” He never promised them any bat- We beseech Thee, through this heap of bones! tle laurels or well-merited rest, though. On the contrary – he appealed to them Let the sun shine on us, at least in death! for even greater effort in their service May the daylight shine forth from heaven’s bright portals! for Poland. And they never let him down Let us be seen - as we die! when in 1920 Poland had to defend not only its own sovereignty, but also entire Europe against flooding bolshevism.

Stanisław Peszyński was an associate of two successive Government Delegates for Poland: Minister Jan Piekałkiewicz (murdered by the Germans in June 1943) and Deputy Prime Minister Jan Stanisław Jankowski (arrested by the Soviet security services in March 1945, tried in the Moscow trial of the leaders of the Polish Underground State, and probably murdered in a Soviet prison in 1953), as well as head of the Control Section in the Delegation. He was in fact the chairman of the Supreme Chamber of Control (NIK) in the Polish Underground State. He was shot by the Germans on 6 August 1944. The plaque was unveiled by Deputy President of the Institute of National Remembrance Mateusz Szpytma, Ph.D., and the NIK’s President Marian Banaś. Before the ceremony, the IPN's 'History Point' Educational Center at 21/25 Marszałkowska Street hosted a meeting during which Professor Grzegorz Nowik, head of the Polish Scouting Association, talked about Stanisław Peszyński, and Professor Jacek Sawicki from the IPN’s Historical Research Office recalled what had happened in Warsaw on 5 and 6 August 1944. The participants also discussed the cooperation between the IPN and the NIK.

Jednym z ekspertów w tej sekcji jest Ronan Vaspart, dyrektor MIPIM, z którym udało się nam porozmawiać o tematyce tegorocznego wydarzenia i tajemnicach organizowania tak dużych wydarzeń, jak MIPIM. Wywiady z czołowymi polskimi i zagranicznymi przedsiębiorcami są nieodłącz- nym elementem naszego magazynu. Wśród nich znajdą Państwo również wywiad z Panem Rafałem Rudzińskim, Prezesem Zarządu Robert Bosch i Przedstawicie- lem Grupy Bosch w Polsce, który zgodził się gościć na okładce tego wydania.
