while i'm not ethnically insensitive in general i do have to admit that i have a bias against russians and slavs in general...
comes from my time in university where i watched 2 russian visiting students cheating only to be told that it was 'part of their culture'
sadly, reading about it today i realize that they were being truthful
this comes from communism i think
this form of government trained/taught it's people to be very distrustful of anything that is "official"
the thing about poles is that you can not rely on them for shit, and they can be quite tricky and decietful
a dutch fella whom i met here who had his own business here told me flat out to never trust a pole, i also had other european fellas tell me the same thing
