This is what communism and war does to a country.
We're light years away from the past but I wanted to show you lads the real face of communism. Not the chosen farms with grass that is painted in green so it looks good on pictures.
This is communism and this is why we didn't catch up yet with the old part of EU.
Communism leaves people to rot while yelling about workers prosperity.
The whole system was a huge lie, much bigger then a lot of people tend to belive.
Russians literally packed up our factories on trains and took them to USSR so the country was in ruins for quite a long time.
these are just unkept dirty farms
you are a butthurt kulak
i know because my relatives lived in mudhouses aswell, but they never let it rot away like this
>>57208305
I bet they lived in state-owned collective farm not real ones.

look at those cute ducks. This would be comfy as fuck if they weren't hungry
>>57208352
the land and equipment were state owned since it was taken away from them
I'm done.
This is just a reminder of what your "borthers" and their beloved political system can do to you and an answer for everyone asking why didn't we catch up with western europe yet. It's because we started from scratch.

This is Poland 71 years ago :)
>>57208694
and now
>>57208694
and this is 10 years ago xD
>>57208865
It couldn't though -- it got "liberated" by the soviets, and therefore had soviet troops all over the place. They took advantage of the situation to rig the elections held in Poland and force them to join the eastern block.
>>57208900
And now xD tadaaa
>>57208865
We were under soviet occupation until 1989. We started our development in 1990 basically.

More recent photo since the posted one is already few years old.

These shots are pretty nice looking. Do you have any more of these?
>>57209170
Te lampy są ledowe czy zwykłe?
>>57209258
Well you got a lot of nice photos of different cities.
The street posted before is Piotrkowska in Łódź.
I remember driving through Poland 15 years ago and there were still carts pulled by horses on the roads.
Anyway, glad you guys improved so much in such a short time
>>57209710
I don't remember seeing a horse pulling a cart in the last 10-15 years to be honest. Which part of Poland was it?
>>57209844
I am not really sure, since I was a child back then, but we were driving through from Germany to Estonia
>>57208154

:DDD

We wanted to kill all the jews but Nazi Germany and USSR stopped us.
>>57209867
I saw a horse pulling a cart near Daugavpils, Latvia 3 years ago but I didn't see it in Poland for a long, long time now. But yeah, I do belive you, might have been somewhere near Suwałki.
>>57209844
in rural areas they weren't that uncommon 10-15 years ago

Thank you very much Britain, France and America.
>>57213237
No, sadly it isn't.
>>57208139
Hate to say it but you're better off consolidating your collection as an album on imgur and then posting it on Reddit (/r/europe sub loves that shit). These are all amazing pictures but 4chan's userbase (especially /int/) isn't interested in anything but shitposting and memes.

Well, Jeff, I wanted to show those kids a bit of the past since they're mostly ignorant and their historical knowledge is often non-existant.
I might go to reddit though! Thank you for the advice!

You forgot to thank us and Russians, Jennie ;^)
>>57214802
That's a city though, Margie. Countryside is always worse.
>>57214999
It could have been fixed though if not for communism...
>>57208694
Same city in 1939.
>>57215159
And who invented communism?

Is it bad that I prefer the more natural colours of the first pic over the kitschy pastel shit in the second one?
>>57215175
Fuck, I think I recognise that street. It's Karowa, isn't it?
do those places still exist there?
you can still find them here
those photos are disturbingly familiar
>>57215447
No Maryann, they're gone, unless they were left uninhabited or renovated
>>57215447
wait why the fuck did I get a girly name
>>57215447
some of them might have survived as museums etc. but i don't think there are people who actually live in such poor conditions anymore
>>57215591
Because you're a cute girl
Don't pretend it's not true

>>57214802
Lol it looks like some parts of Saint-Petersburg NOW.
>>57215279
Yes, great for visit...muh atmosphere
Suck to live in
>>57208139
That looks so comfortable and it makes me think of the Medieval Times. We need farmers as well, I loathe communism too, but you don't need to find shelter at the other Marxist demon - the EU.
Let them be developed while we still have a shard from the Medieval Ages and some traditional peasants, it is nothing bad in it. There are countries which are poor and haven't been touched by communism.
>>57216039
Yeah, I imagine so. Warsaw was full of tenement housing before the war and apparently the living conditions in most of them were abhorrent. 7-9 people per 1 room on average and no sun for majority of the day due to shitty urban planning.
>>57209710
I've seen a cart pulled by a horse and some old dude on it 5 years back in the French part of Belgium. These kind of fucked up places are rare but they are still around. In France and southern Europe too.
>Anyway, glad you guys improved so much in such a short time
They did not improve. They received a shitfuckingload of free money. Most of it from your country, relative to people with a job most of it came from mine. Fuckloads are pissed away in corruption, what remains is used to pull up a facade of civilization. Poland is a bit like the middle east but retarded on a different level. Throw whatever money at them and it might starts to look like something but its not. In my country we have a saying that literally translates like ´even if you give a monkey a golden ring it remains to be an ugly thing´. Poland like the middle east is a monkey that was handed a golden ring. They can´t make this ring themselves. Take it away and the country stagnates or falls back into fucked up mudfarms. It´s an ugly truth we refuse to believe because its so conveniently hidden behind wealth and it is nice to think that every human is equal and all that.
>>57208139
looks comfy as fuck, I have no idea what you're talking about
are you one of them fancy newfangled Polish right-wingers?
>>57216397
>take away 3% gdp
>country reverts to mud huts
You're sure a dumb one.
>>57216397
>They received a shitfuckingload of free money.
lol, compared to the state transfers in the USA the money Poland receives through eurofunds are absolute peanuts. We wouldn't have improved dick if we relied only on that money.
>Fuckloads are pissed away in corruption
We don't have many problems with corruption anymore actually. Not every country west of Oder is Russia, as much as you'd like to believe otherwise.
>Take it away and the country stagnates or falls back into fucked up mudfarms.
There is shitposting and then there is just being actually retarded.
>>57216677
Alright Poland enjoy those pennies and the oneway union while you still can. The willingness of people who have to pay for it is reaching the bottom.
>>57216478
it's comfy as long as you don't actually have to live here
>>57217025
Oh we will fucking panic because a tiny % of our money will dissapear and along with it being in the same union with brainless cucks that are on their way to extinction.
>>57217011
>We don't have many problems with corruption anymore actually
please talk more about shitposting and deny corruption in eastern bloc at the same time. perhaps that news doesn´t reach you because you are not the one paying for it. i know i am.
>>57217139
Why don't you bitch about the south then? They got more corruption and they're with you for many, many more years :3
>>57217196
because we used to contribute money from 90s to the early 2000s and we've receiving money from 2008 to now, we contributed in the past and now are receiving money eastern commie countries began to receive money since the moment they joined
seems like implementing communism only for 50% does not work too good?
>>57217139
please tell me more about my country and how things work in it
