I won't quite regard the battle of Warszawa in 1920 as a landmark one. The Russians would have had no power whatsoever to conquer the rest of Europe. The tsars were already hated by the population, and they started to lose their power.
And to continue about your nationalistic issues, pardon my insolence, but what has Poland exactly done in the past 60 years? Nothing? Well, quite so.
Split by Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia, they were surrounded. Occupied by the Germans, soon they were transformed into a big warzone and later into a landmark communist country.
