Hello Halina,
I always learn something new from you. Just curious, are you Ukrainian, Polish, or a little bit of both. You seem to understand both histories quite well. I'm happy to learn about Rzespospolita. I never knew about it, and recieved a kind of one-sided view of Polish occupation in my history classes. Religious tolerance wasn't something that we were taught as children.
I'm happy that you enjoy my posts. As a visual artist and a sometime writer, I rely heavily on my impressions and I strive to keep them fresh within me. As for Scotland, the movie Braveheart inspired me to look into that bit of history with interest. It amazes me how the Scots could have achieved independence if not for Robert Bruce and his cohorts. It seems that the road to London was wide open after the Campbell led campaigne, and the Scots never capitalized.
