Ignacy Skorupka (31 July 1893 – 14 August 1920) was a heroic chaplain of the Polish Army and a volunteer in the Polish-Bolshevik war. While giving the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick to a wounded soldier, Father Skorupka was fatally wounded by Bolshevik fire. Ignacy Skorupka became a symbol of the Battle of Warsaw and of the sacrifice of those who defended Poland and Christianity against the Soviet invasion.
Battle of Warsaw (1920) - the War that Saved Europe from Communism
15.8.1920 ‘Miracle on the Vistula river’ was one of the most important battles in world’s history. By the summer of 1920, the Red Army was approaching Warsaw, and both sides knew that the ensuing battle would determine the outcome of the war. But it was more than a territorial squabble. It was a clash of ideologies: Christianity vs. atheism, individual liberty vs. state control. Poland’s desisive victory over the Soviet army stopped the spread of Bolshevik communism further westwards into Europe.
''The Battle of Warsaw exerted a huge impact on interwar Europe. It indefinitely postponed the Bolsheviks’ hopes of spreading their Revolution, and changed their strategic priorities, forcing them to concentrate on Soviet Russia’s internal issues, on the New Economic Policy, and on the formation of the Soviet Union under the slogan of “Socialism in One Country”. It also secured not only Poland’s independence but the freedom of all the other countries of the region, which would have been greatly threatened by a Soviet victory. It saved Germany from its first potential clash with Communism. Russians know virtually nothing about 1920. All they hear is what Bolshevik propaganda invented, namely that innocent Russia had been viciously attacked.'' - Norman Davies
IMPRESSIONS OF POLAND, Georg Brandes,1885
''This people, who discovered the dance of the planets around the sun, also, as is well known, invented the polonaise with its proud solemnity, and the mazurka, with its contrast of masculine force and feminine gentleness, and the people are perhaps almost as proud of the mazurka as of Copernicus. In Poland the mazurka is not the dance we call by that name, but a long, difficult, and impassioned national dance, in which the gentlemen and ladies, though they dance hand in hand, constantly make different steps in the same time. It is a genuine sorrow to the Poles that the consistent Russian government has forbidden the dancing of this dance in the national costume; and the fourth or fifth question the foreigner is asked in Warsaw is this: "Have you seen our national dance?" In every other country it would at least be the thirtieth or fortieth.
They dance all through the carnival time as people dance in no other place. Probably nowhere else are so many charity balls given. They dance for everything - for "the poor sewing girls," for "the poor students," &c. I do not deny that many times, when I stood watching the dances - sometimes I was invited to two balls on the same night - I could not help remembering the old hard adage: slavus saltans! But as a young girl said in allusion to a moralising article in Prawda: "What would be the advantage if we left off dancing in Warsaw?"
