    Are you serious, Poland came as far as Kiev, but then a year later the Red Army (Soviet Union didn't exist back then) stood before Warsaw itself, ready to link up with the German Revolution. The Russians spared Poland because they didn't care enough and had serious business to take care of. Poland was just not among the list of serious things.

    I believe a Polish veteran from that war once said: "We ran all the way to Kiev, and we ran all the way back"

    Temporary victories, years later Russia gobbled up Poland to the point where there was no Poland. That would be the same as saying Napoleon won the Napoleonic Wars, he won victories, but in the end he lost. and who laughs last, laughs best.

    Also, Russia occupied Warsaw, Poland never occupied Moscow

    Check: Warsaw Uprising, after a few days the Germans just burned the Polish flags again and put the Nazi ones back in place. Funny enough the Polish started their riots when the Red Army was literally in sight and on the other bank of the river. It was just a bid to 'liberate' Warsaw and the rest of Poland before the Soviets did and link up with the allies. One question remains... what if it would have succeeded. Would the Polish Home Army storm Berlin to link up with the Allies. I think this plan was hatched during teatime and set into motion after dinner.

    Austria, Prussia and yes, Russia, that's not a position you would be in if you were mauled by Glorious Poland (hint: they weren't)
