There is much to translate from pl wiki. The current article concentrates on Poles in Ukrainian SSR; we need to add on Belarusian and Lithuanian SSRs.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  22:07, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I think the events have to be viewed in the context together with the repatriation of the Ukrainians in the opposite direction. So, the article should be something like the Soviet-Polish population transfers (1944-1946). Also, the Wisla action is relevant enough to discuss the relevance in the text body rather than "see also" section. Also, please do not use the article as a coatrack to insert judgmental and opinionated statements. "Soviets killed", "Soviets deported" are facts and have to be given. "Soviets instituted the regime of terror" is a judgment. This is not a newspaper article to use such judgmental statements. --Irpen 22:12, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
As I remarked to Bandurist, pl:Wysiedlenie Ukraińców z RP do ZSRR 1944-1946 should be translated too. And it is me who has added see also Operation Wisła. But please stop denying the existence of Soviet terror.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  22:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

There is no need to boast who added what, accuse editors in "denialism" and be otherwise combative. I made some specific comment. Please do not stray the discussion off-topic. --Irpen 22:28, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Soviets instituted the regime of terror

An opinion? The whole human historiography is an opinion and 90% of it is less proved than the existence of Soviet terror.

What is wrong with the quoted sentence? Certainly the Soviets, certainly instituted, certainly the regime of terror. Xx236 (talk) 10:14, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Soviet-Polish population transfers (1944-1946)

Such title says that the Polish were partners for the Soviet. It was a Soviet-Soviet population transfer, including thousands of prisoners - ethnic Poles - transported to Siberia. Xx236 (talk) 10:19, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Repatriation is a Soviet propaganda word

We don't use Nazi lawnguage any more (we use the Kristallnacht name to be precise). Why are Soviet lies repeated 55 years after Stalin's death? Xx236 (talk) 10:21, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Either Expulsion of Poles or Repatriation of Germans

Why the same processes are described differently? Xx236 (talk) 09:54, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] January 1945 the NKVD arrested 772 Poles in Lviv

What about other arrestations and executions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xx236 (talkcontribs) 15:14, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] From Expulsion of Germans

"Any transfer of millions of people is likely to be difficult even in the best of circumstances. Attempting a forced transfer amidst the chaos, destruction and privation of postwar Europe could only result in a humanitarian catastrophe." This article doesn't inform about mortality among the repatriated.Xx236 (talk) 11:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
