For a long time, Poland was famous for the charm and charm of its women, one of whom won the heart of Napoleon. For Russians, a couple of decades ago, Polish women were the standard of elegance and style. In the famous "Wanda" all women of fashion of the Soviet Union bought Polish cosmetics, handbags, handkerchiefs. Pollena and Pani Walewska cosmetics were considered the best gift - if there were no French counterparts, half of the country smelled of "Perhaps" perfume from a small narrow-necked bottle ... But what about modern polkas?

Polish girls

Polish girls: appearance

Many Polish girls resemble German women with a somewhat fleshy nose and wide mouth (despite this description, women of this type are quite pretty - remember, for example, Barbara Brylska from the popular film "Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!" In her youth). On average, Polish women look older than Russian women of a similar age. And there is not at all that crowding of beauties per square kilometer, which Russia is so strong with. But how polkas hold up - each is at least "krulevna"! The first thing that catches your eye is posture: most Polish girls beautifully straightened shoulders, straight back. Once upon a time there was even a phrase: "The border between the USSR and Poland is easiest to recognize by the woman's posture."

The character of Polish girls. Ambitious, cute, religious

Polish women are not just self-confident, but very, very self-confident: 81% consider themselves extremely attractive. Apparently, the genes of golden-haired, laughing, playful great-grandmothers, who easily captivated kings and emperors, are affected. Polkas are ambitious, sometimes over the top. You can often hear how they talk about themselves using standard wording: jestem mіoda, ambitna, przybojowa, lubie podruїe. Sounds pretty funny for a Russian-speaking person. It's like a girl says about herself: "I am impudent and uncomplexed, I will go over corpses to achieve my goal." But in Polish, unlike Russian, the word "ambitna" has a positive connotation.

Popular

Almost always, in the company of people of different nationalities, Polkas win. The most modest bow, a hair clip, a sly look, a short conversation - and now broken hearts are lying at their feet in heaps. Polkas have a good behavior and attitude towards you, they easily make contact and are direct in the expression of emotions. Only pleasant things will be said to you. The gift you brought will be admired all evening. But at the same time, the polka will not take any liberties with a stranger and will not put you in an unpleasant situation. A girl who in the photo looks a little prettier than a crocodile, in direct communication with you, will be able to present herself in such a way that in your eyes all her shortcomings will turn into advantages. There is such a word in Polish as sympatyczny. In this case, we are not talking about external beauty, but just about behavior. Young girls feel what it means to be a lady with a capital letter, so accustomed.

The general religiosity inherent in all Poles is also inherent in young people. You can often see young boys and girls praying in churches or going to confession to a priest. On the streets are advertising posters with a picture of a girl and the inscription: "Hear God." For both adults and young people, it is in the order of things 2-3 times a day to run into church, pray, kneel down and go on about your business. They say that if they skimp on their responsibilities to the church, neighbors can snitch on the priests, which will lead to problems at work or in school. In Poland, the home country of the late John Paul II, women wait longer than other European women before having sexual intercourse with a partner - an average of 7.4 dates (for comparison: Italians - 5.4, and Swedes give up after the fourth date) ...

Nude-look style

Almost no lady will leave the house, even to the store, without makeup, but not everyone will admit it. The best praise in this case comes from the lips of her master: "Honey, you are so beautiful, even if you are not wearing makeup."

Lip gloss has almost completely replaced traditional lipstick: it is much easier and faster to apply, there are many shades, and a light, transparent base gives shine and chic to the most neutral make-up. Therefore, it is especially popular among girls: gentle lips create a feeling of freshness and youth. Older women also love this piece of decorative cosmetics, because it masks small wrinkles on the lips. Only eyelashes are tinted (and even if they are light); the eyes are slightly drawn along the eyelash line with a brown or gray pencil. Comb and slightly highlight the eyebrows with a pencil (if necessary). Also, they often use a special colorless gel to tame unruly hairs. They look fresh and natural. As the French say, a la naturel.

In the bathrooms and dressing tables of Polish women, luxury brands - Estee Lauder, Chanel, Dior, Clarins - peacefully coexist with jars and tubes of Polish manufacturers - Dr. Irena Eris, Kolastyna, Pollena-Ewa, Dermika. Dermakosmetics, which are in no way inferior to all the well-known Vichy brand, is always popular - this is the Polish Lirene (a branch of Dr. Irena Eris).

Polish women of all ages love to cherish and groom themselves. Apply, for example, under night cream concentrated anti-aging grape seed serum. Spray your face instead of tonic with a refreshing Moroccan rose or white tea spray. Honey wraps and mud peels at least once a month. Manicure-pedicure is a common daily procedure, not just before going out. Gel nails, bright nail-art are not held in high esteem. Most often, the color of the varnish is matched to the main colors of clothes, exotic and acidic ones are outlawed.

Polkas follow the global trend in hairdressing - natural colors and natural shapes. The image of a modern lady assumes a neat haircut, freshly washed hair and a small amount of hairstyle: classic - sesson and bob haircuts. Bright colours like ultraviolet light, ripe cherries or etched whites, as well as obvious fleece, demonstrate tastelessness and backwardness of views. There are hairstyles of the "small head" type, which are performed in combination with spectacular coloring with highlights. Its basis is a spherical haircut. For many modern hairstyles, partial thinning of the hair in the bangs is characteristic. Popular youth haircuts with asymmetric lines and partially curled strands, when all the hair is combed to one side and cut unevenly. When laying, use special varnishes, foams or waxes.

Baggy casual and "still elegant ladies"

For the most part, polkas dress discreetly, giving preference to comfortable everyday things. Shapeless sportswear is quite popular among young people, hiding all the advantages of the female figure (however, the disadvantages too). It has been noticed that the younger generation does not follow the figure in the same way as the older generation. Apparently, Poland is trying to be like its western neighbors in this regard. It is extremely rare to see high-heeled shoes. Pannochki think so: “Shoes should be comfortable during the day. If women always wore high-heeled shoes, they would be angry all the time, and after a few years no one would look at these women’s feet. ”

Modest make-up, a handkerchief of impeccable cleanliness (only made of fabric) and a delicate unobtrusive scent are the highest class of business dress code, according to which they not only meet, but also see off Polish workers of office fields. Clothing ensembles are selected in such a way that you can easily transfer business negotiations from the office to the restaurant. These are things of necessarily high quality, not too bright in tones and colors, which fit perfectly on the figure, do not wrinkle much and in which you can feel comfortable in any situation. Ideal fabrics are fine wool with added lycra, cashmere plus silk, linen plus silk. Expensive prestigious brands specializing in sewing men's business suits and guaranteeing quality are popular - Armani, Boss, Brioni, Patrick Hellmann, Francesco Smalto, Pal Zileri.

Ladies of a very old age know how to dress with special taste: the obligatory hat to match the dress and lace gloves - so as to be "the same elegant lady." Polkas are always stylish: they will never wear mismatched outfits, no matter how fashionable the latter may be. And the simplest thing will be worn with such dignity that fashion models will envy them.

Poles say: if you want to know what they are wearing this season and will be wearing next, take a walk along Marshalkowska Street in Warsaw, where the largest shopping centers of the Polish capital are concentrated. Especially popular shopping centers in Poland are Arkadia and Zlote Tarasy in Warsaw, Krakow Gallery, respectively, in Krakow and Silesia City Center in Katowice.

Trends are created mainly in the capital, where several good fashion designers work. They create fashion in Poland. Among the offered products are well-known Polish brands such as Ulimex, Sunwear, Waldimex, Spektra, Almax, Valeria. All clothes are of high quality tailoring, modern fabrics, fashionable and stylish cuts. Polish blouses are famous far beyond the borders of the country: models made of silk, viscose, cotton, various mixed fabrics allow women to create a variety of images - from strict and business-like to elegant and romantic.

Just lying on the beach is no longer fashionable, the current trend is active rest. In Poland, an excellent infrastructure has been created for this, there are many special offers for every taste. The most popular pastimes in Poland are skiing, mountaineering, mountaineering and sailing - all of which can be done without leaving the country. There are active recreation centers, landscape parks and reserves, cable cars, walking and cycling paths, equestrian recreation, horse riding, golf, water and extreme sports, and a variety of amusement parks - just countless.

Poles say that a woman in a dance, a ship under full sails and a horse on the run are the most pleasing things to the eye. Horse riding is indeed great fun, useful and affordable. This sport has a beneficial effect on all muscle groups and is available for everyone at any age, does not require special training. For example, the Furioso riding center in Stary ukowice near Tarnow (near Krakow) offers training, entertainment and hippotherapy.

Poles love and know how to dance, however, how could it be otherwise in a country where the national anthem is Dombrowski's Mazurka! Most Poles dance cheek to cheek, even in discos, doing clear steps, and not just unintelligibly kicking and swaying; they also love tangos, foxtrots and polkas.

In Gdansk, on many streets between the houses and the road there is a green strip 20-30 m wide, and many areas are generally divided by forest areas. Here, respectable uncles of 40-50 years old, old women, women of model appearance ride bicycles, bicycles with special trailers for transporting children come across. There are also many rollerblades on the bike paths. Hundreds of people in shorts and on rollerblades ride on bike paths, and they do not just ride, but go through the whole city on some business of their own. Cycle paths are equipped like real roads. There are traffic lights, in front of low tree branches there are clearance gates with reflective signs, a zebra is drawn at the intersection with pedestrian paths, and where the bike paths converge, a marking is drawn that determines the priority.

What is the lady serving?

Each country has its own special smells. Austria - aromas of coffee and pastries, Italy - Chianti and algal smells of Venice, France - moist and languid aromas of oysters, champagne and truffles. Poland treats itself with the aroma of antiquity and inexpensive food.

Polish cuisine is famous for the variety of cooked and smoked sausages, which, hot and cold, are included in everyday meals from morning to evening. Favorite food - bigos - a hodgepodge of sauerkraut and raw cabbage stewed with mushrooms, spices and several (at least three) types of meat and sausages.

The Warsaw-style flaki is just tripe (that is, beef stomach) soup. And the mysterious Zhurek soup is a curious combination of thick hot (!) Rye kvass with homemade sausage pieces and a hard-boiled egg. In hot summer days prepare cold soups from strawberries, cherries, apples, pears and wild berries. In autumn, cucumber and mushroom soups are popular. With spicy dishes they drink vodka, to which the Poles are invariably faithful, especially in the cold season. Also popular and really high-quality draft beer, which is served both cold and hot ("gzhano beer"), "gzhano wine" (or simply mulled wine), Guralian tea (with lemon, honey and vodka - grog), cherry. Everywhere you can taste warm or cold (at your choice) an incomparable charlotte with whipped cream and other excellent quality pastries (but terribly high in calories, just “death of the waist”!).

A cult on the verge of fanaticism - kawa (coffee). Countless varieties are drunk anytime, anywhere and several times a day. In a cafe, you can often see a picture unusual for Russia: at one table a student with notes and a laptop, at the other - ancient old women who have come in out of habit to drink coffee. However, in a package, grandmothers bring some kind of their own food: apparently, it’s cheaper ... And this is in the order of things in Warsaw.

The ball is ruled by matriarchy

Poles are gallant, courteous, they know perfectly well that a wrong action or a word will instantly disqualify them. The gentlemen open doors in front of the ladies, help to light a cigarette, bring bags and generally behave the way English gentlemen allegedly behaved until the feminists got them to their liver. Elderly people and women in public transport are not only given seats, but they do it with pleasure. Small talk is going on on the bus, people are smiling at each other, passing coupons, exchanging city-wide news.

Polish men, like Russians, love sitting in the kitchen and talking about life, and they also see a woman in a woman and do not let her forget about it. Their family comes first. The overwhelming majority of Poles marry their fellow countrywomen and remain monogamous for the rest of their lives. The divorce rate in Poland is one of the lowest in Europe. Perhaps because many divorced spouses have to live together for a long time.

Unlike Western society, the Poles value not women careerists and workaholics, but those representatives of the fair sex who are able to run a house, cook well, and raise children.

If back in the early 90s of the XX century, Polish women got married mainly at 22 years old, and the first-born was born between 20 and 24 years old, then at the beginning of the XXI century these important events in their lives occur closer to 30 years.
In Poland, 96.3% of residents are members of formal family unions. Only one in twentieth (5%) is in a civil marriage, while in the Czech Republic - 17%, in Germany - 20%, and in Sweden - 48%.
People raising a child alone (90% of them are women) face public censure.

A good wife should be able to create a warm atmosphere in the house: home comfort, harmony and tranquility. In addition, a wife should appreciate her husband and his work, take care of his mental state, constantly give the feeling of how much she needs and is important to her, praise and pamper him.

In turn, a good husband must earn money, thereby providing for the family and ensuring its safety. By the way, wives also have more than just financial expectations from men. They love when gifts, flowers are bought for them, they say compliments.

Poles love children, especially babies, lisp with them even in public, take them with them everywhere and pamper them so much that it's amazing how most kids are well-bred. They do not understand the needs of the British in child-free zones. Even in the most dull residential areas, children are cared for - there are areas that are inaccessible to cars, equipped with sandpits, swings and horizontal bars, which at the same time serve as a device for knocking out carpets.

There is nothing surprising in the fact that the question "Who are you?" - Polkas most often answer: "Mother." The modern mother is often compared to a superwoman who combines the duties of a mother with other roles (for example, the role of a wife, an employee). Expectations and responsibilities towards mothers are well described by an ad that appeared in parenting magazine Child:

“URGENTLY REQUIRED: QUALIFIED TEACHER, PSYCHOLOGIST, NURSE, CLEANER, COOK, PEDAGOGICAL SPECIALIST AND GAME ORGANIZER. A CANDIDATE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CARE FOR OTHERS BETTER THAN HIMSELF, BE Affectionate and Gentle. SHE SHOULD BE AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. POSSIBLE DEPARTURE FROM WORK CAN BE CONSIDERED ONLY AFTER 18 YEARS. ANY CLAIMS CANNOT BE SPEAKED ABOUT ANY CLAIMS.

Do you think Russian and Polish girls are alike?

In the modern world, the phrase that “in the world there is no more beautiful queen than a Polish girl” is very often encountered, and it is worthwhile to figure it out - is this really so?

Today, it is believed that the appearance of Poles (by the way, in Russian the word Pole is rarely used and is considered obsolete, according to the new rules it is correct to say “polka”) attracts with its Slavic charm and attractive facial features. What is unique about the inhabitants of Poland and why is their appearance considered so unusual in the world?

A bit of history

Poles are a Slavic people, the bulk of which live in Poland. Official registration indicates that 36 million Poles live in this country, of which there are slightly more women than men.

Another 20 million people with Polish nationality live outside the state - in America, Germany, Canada and Ukraine. True, today the country's authorities have decided to give people of Polish nationality the opportunity to return to their historical homeland, so they offer material privileges in the form of a manual and a Pole's Card for those who want to live in Poland.

This is interesting! By the way, Poland has always been famous for the charm and charm of its ladies, and if you believe the historical data, then one of them was even able to win the heart of Napoleon himself. History suggests that Polish women were a kind of standard of elegance and style, which manifested itself not only in appearance, but also in the style of clothing, makeup and behavior.

The famous Polish "Wanda" made it possible for the fashionistas of the Soviet Union to buy Polish handbags, cosmetics and perfumes, which were considered the best (with the exception of their French counterparts). At the same time, almost half of the USSR country smelled with the well-known perfume called "Perhaps", which already says a lot.

What is a polka like?

The typical Polish appearance of the girls is a bit like German women, because they boast a rather fleshy nose and wide mouth. The idea of ​​a woman of this type may immediately turn out to be mistaken, because the imagination draws for itself a not very attractive girl, somewhat similar to a man.

Related news:

However, many are mistaken, and for this it is worth remembering at least the famous Polish actress Barbara Brylska, who played in the New Year's Soviet film of all those that are played to this day. Anyone can agree that she is attractive, and certainly no one would argue with the statement passed.

Notable is the fact that usually Polish women look a little older than women of the same age in Ukraine or Russia. The blame for everything is the posture, which immediately catches the eye - beautifully straightened shoulders and an even back are the hallmark of any representative female in Poland.

Once, even such a phrase was used, which said that the border between Poland and the Soviet Union can be determined precisely because of the way local women hold their backs.

A standard Polish girl identifies herself with the image of a fatal beauty, as is done today, for example, by Russians - long hair that must shine and be perfectly even, lips inflated with fillers and thick artificial eyelashes. Polkas for natural beauty, therefore, among them you will not see (or see, but very rarely) defiantly dressed women and aggressively made up. And in the modern world, this is what gives them their charm, and it is not surprising that many call them beautiful.

Character as a feature of appearance

Discussing the appearance of Polk women, it must be said that charisma is given not only by external beauty and uniqueness, but also by self-confidence. Anyone who has been to Poland can confirm this, the rest will just have to believe that Polish women are not just self-confident, their level of self-confidence is off the charts.

Polls show that 80% of women in Poland consider themselves to be as attractive as possible. And probably everyone knows the rule that says that if you love yourself, the whole world will love you. Here it works 100%. At the same time, self-confidence is most likely based on the fact that in the past, golden-haired and laughing great-grandmothers, who fought even kings with their direct beauty, were very much appreciated.

Polish girls are quite ambitious and in some way even sassy. They boast of their lack of complexes and say that in order to achieve their goal, they can do anything. In this case, this does not spoil them, but makes them even more attractive, because, despite their ambitions, they can concede in time and somewhat change their principles.

The average image of a Polish girl

As a rule, the typical Polish appearance of a girl is wrapped in an aura of modesty, which almost always sets them apart from the company of people of other nationalities. A Polish woman is a modest bow or hair clip, but at the same time a sly look and an interesting conversation.

Such a simple recipe is enough to fall in love with a man, which, in fact, is actively used by the representatives of this nationality.

Modest appearance compensated by light contact with people and open behavior. A polka will almost never get bored in a new company. People very easily make contact with her due to her immediacy in emotional terms.

It is believed that polkas are so open and ambitious due to the fact that it is impossible to say unpleasant things to them. However, you need to understand that a woman of a given nationality will not allow a stranger to get too close to her, therefore, of course, it is worth observing the boundaries.

It has been noticed that Pole women and their appearance in life look much prettier than in a photograph. And experts also explain these facts by charm and self-confidence, which a photograph very rarely conveys. Personal communication makes the appearance of any Polish woman more attractive.

Interesting fact! In the Polish language there is such a word - sympatyczny, which does not mean the external qualities of a person, but his behavior, so we can say that Polish girls are incredibly cute.

By the way, usually Polish girls become a lady literally from childhood, because they are taught to do this.

All Poles have religious qualities, so you can always meet a modestly dressed girl on the street heading to a church. It is interesting that on the streets in Poland there are posters on which girls are depicted and there is an inscription “Hear God”.

Separately, it must be said that Polish women adhere to rather strict views regarding sexual intercourse with a partner. This is not to say that they all marry virgins, but there are usually about eight dates before the first contact.

For comparison: in Italy or Sweden, this event occurs already on the fifth date. Accordingly, pretty polkas are also very smart.

TOP 10 most beautiful fields

Editor's note: below are girls written with their first and last names, it is the last one that needs to be emphasized, because in Polish the usual female surname ends with the letter "a", while in the same situation in Russian the ending "aya" is used. Example: Solowska - Solovskaya.

In Poland, as in any other country, there are women who are ideals, and photos of the appearance of Poles who are included in the rating of the 10 most beautiful women of this country is worth seeing.

The rating is compiled on the basis of independent statistics and the serial number that will be assigned to each participant in the list is not her place in the rating, it is just a number. And by the way, looking at photos of Polish girls, it is quite difficult to choose only 10 candidates, because almost every Polish woman is beautiful in her own way and individually.

1. Barbara Brylska. This woman is familiar to almost every person, because the film in which she starred is shown every year, probably in any CIS country before the new year. Barbara played her first role at the age of 15, and today there are 30 works in her portfolio. To this day, the actress is a socialite and style icon, which many polkas look up to.
2. Olya Tsyupa. She deservedly got into the rating of the most beautiful women, because she is a fairly successful Polish model. Once she represented her country at Eurovision, where she impressed the judges with the fact that in a rather revealing outfit washed clothes (yes, yes, right on stage). She skillfully combines in her image all the features of the appearance of Poles women, while she is 170 centimeters tall and has an ideal figure in terms of model parameters.
3. Isabella Skorupko. Without exaggeration, one of the most beautiful Polish women. She grew up in the suburbs of Stockholm and made her film debut at the age of 17. Known for her rather impressive film career, as well as being adored by almost all teenagers. And I must say there is a reason, because the appearance of this woman beckons with its unusual features.
4. Natalia Sivets. When discussing the typical appearance of Pole girls, it is worth paying attention to this particular girl. She is a Polish fashion model who became popular after Poland's football match against Russia at the European Championship. Journalists awarded her the title "Miss Euro 2012" And since then she has become famous all over the world.
5. Magdalena Ogurek. Polish politician who ran for president in 2015. This woman deserves respect, at least because she not only understands politics, but also looks incredibly beautiful. Incidentally, her ad campaign featured a phrase aimed at improving relations with The Russian Federation, and today she calls for the lifting of sanctions from Russia.
6. Magdalena Melcazh. Journalist and actress, style icon for Polish beauties. A woman with a romantic name and a rather exciting career, which began with participation in a mini-series, continued with advertising for a fashionable cosmetics brand, and today she is filming with famous world actors and actresses.
7. Francis Sudnika - the most pretty girls Poland is a model, and Francis is best to confirmation. Today she is a Venezuelan fashion model, but she has Polish roots, so her participation in the Miss Poland and Miss Universe from Poland contests is quite justified.
8. Alicia Bobrovskaya is a Polish actress who once won the title of fourth miss at the Miss Universe pageant. Her beauty is a benchmark even today, although she was born in 1936.
9. Karolina Grushka. A girl with a sweet surname, who today is both a Polish and a Russian film actress. Blonde with blue eyes- it is these features of the appearance of Polish girls that are characteristic, which is why the actress was included in the current list.
10. Isabella Miko - a girl with different talents - actress, singer, model, but she got on the list due to her attractive appearance and thanks to her appearance on the cover of the magazine Maxim(ugly people are not printed in it).

1. Poles often complain that they got the mountains in the south, and the Baltic Sea in the north, and it is getting warmer. But I was lucky with the lakes formed after the descent of the glacier. The Masurian Lakes are a favorite place for yachting or kayaking, the latter are very popular.

2. Polish weather can be very unpredictable and locals constantly complain about it: in winter, by European standards, it is frosty (down to -25), and in summer it is not warm enough. In general, it is in the Poles' blood to be dissatisfied with something. In the spring, in the same day, rain can start 3 times, end, hail falls, after which everything will dry out without a trace in the sun. The seasons, as is customary in Europe, do not start on the first day, but according to the astronomical calendar, so you should not congratulate everyone on December 1 on the beginning of winter, they will not understand.
3. Poland is quite homogeneous ethnically, linguistically and culturally. Nevertheless, it includes a large part of Silesia (lёнsk), which fell to the Poles after the Second World War. The region is very specific, especially the industrial-mining Upper Silesia with its center in Katowice, with its own incomprehensible Slender dialect and its own opinion about the rest of Poland.
4. Economically more developed western Poland is often outraged that it feeds lazy and drunkards from the poor agrarian eastern part.
5. The problem of internal migration from rural areas to big cities in Poland is not very acute, the infrastructure is well developed. A common story is when a Warsaw family, living in an apartment, begins to build a country house, after which they move there, and rents the apartment.
6. Throughout its history, the territory of the country has been divided many times, as evidenced by at least the fact that St. Mikolai brings gifts for Christmas to children in Warsaw, in Poznan - Gvyazdor (from the word star), in Krakow - Angela, in Silesia - baby Jesus, and even Santa Claus is found in the eastern regions ...
7. Polish small businesses and NGOs often live off subsidies and grants from the European Union. My friend thus received 40 thousand euros for the opening kindergarten in his suburbs and a free course on business economics to boot.
8. Since 2007, a law has been in effect, according to which 1% of your taxes must be transferred to the activities of public benefit organizations, the organization is chosen by you. Therefore, there are pitiful advertisements on the street - give 1% to children in Africa or to a dog shelter.
9. There are no stray animals here. Nuclear power plants too, everything is good with the environment. There are a lot of river gulls in the cities on the banks of the Vistula, parks are teeming with squirrels. In my dormitory district of Warsaw in the evening I came across hedgehogs more than once.

10. Lives in Poland the largest number white storks (23% of the world population). Like bison from Belovezhskaya Pushcha, storks are one of the symbols of the country.
11. Separation of garbage exists, although it is not strictly controlled. There are many places where collection containers are placed old clothes I don't know what they do to her later.
12. Since 2004 Poland is a member of the EU, and since 2007 it is a member of the Schengen zone.
13. Since the beginning of the 90s, a wave of emigrants has poured from the country, mainly to England. With the rise in living standards, many have returned, but it is still not uncommon for a doctor working in a Polish clinic to fly to London for the weekend, where he receives his weekly salary at a time.
14. Polish state polyclinics are free, but there are not so many of them as grandmothers with sores. Therefore, you need to make an appointment with a therapist about a month or two in advance, or go to a private clinic. Of course, this does not apply to emergency cases.
15. Chicago is considered the second largest city in the world living in Poles.
16. As the Poles themselves declare, they do not like two nations - Russians and Germans. You can find combined monuments to the victims of Nazism and the communist system. However, such dislike is more stereotyped than real, and only manifests itself during sports competitions.
17. With hostile attitudes towards Russians almost never happened. Quite often, on the contrary, everyone is very friendly and hospitable, they will always give directions, if necessary, they will call from their phone and sing "May there always be sunshine." For some reason, everyone knows this song.
18. The Russian language is understandable to the majority of the older generation, since it was compulsory in the schools of the Polish People's Republic. However, in the 90s, as a forcibly imposed language, Russian ceased to be studied, and only recently began to return and be popular again.
19. For Germans, Poles remain a poor and cold neighbor without electricity, stealing their cars. Hence the common jokes like this: What does a Polish triathlon look like? - I came to the pool on foot and returned by bike.

20. On the other hand, the Germans actively take advantage of the proximity and cheapness of Poland and go on weekends to Wroclaw or Szczecin, which once belonged to Germany. From the latter to Berlin a little more than 100 km, buses run from 10 zlotys, and all excursions are offered in two languages ​​- German and Polish.
21. For the untrained ear, the Polish language is just a bunch of sibilants, especially if you don't listen attentively. For example, the word happiness sounds like "shchenshche".
22. Despite its affinity with all the languages ​​of the Slavic group, there are many words in Polish that mean absolutely different things than in Russian:? Sklep - shop? Dworzec - station? Zapomnic (reads like "remember") - forget? Zakaz - ban? Urodliwy - beautiful? dywan - carpet? owoce - fruit
23. Tanya means cheap in Polish, so girls with this beautiful name should better introduce themselves as Tatiana. "Tania odziez" is not a fashionable author's collection, but a common name for second-hand.
24. If, somewhere on the street in Krakow, you ask how to get to the library, and the answer is “simple”, do not take the answer as a mockery. Simple means straight.
25. Spoko - in Poland it is a standard phrase in almost any life situation and means something like "Spokuh". Poland's song at the Euro was "Koko-koko, Euro Spoko" performed by the grandmothers choir.
26. The traditional song for birthdays, weddings and any other events where you need to wish for something - “Sto lat!”, Wish for a hundred years, respectively.
27. Poles call pepper only black pepper, for the rest (including chili) they use the word “paprika”, very surprised how we distinguish which pepper we are talking about.
28. Other words that evoke affection: adidasy - sneakers, rajstopy - tights, kawaler - bachelor.
29. Polish girls are really very beautiful, they dress tastefully, but not provocatively. Bright coloring, miniskirts and high heels usually characteristic only of representatives of a certain profession.

30. Polish cuisine is very close to ours, but less fatty. Traditional dishes are Russian perogi (pierogi ruskie), Ukrainian borscht (barsz ukrainski) and Greek fish (ryba po grecku). They can be found easily in every restaurant.
31. Russian feathers are dumplings with cottage cheese and potatoes; in Poland, after boiling, they are often fried. Consider this if you decide to buy in the store, usually they are already cooked and it is better not to dip them into water again. Pies we are used to in Poland are not baked.
32. Another national dish is bigos - stewed cabbage with meat and smoked meats. Depending on how the bigos was prepared at home, the recipe varies: from a mountain of meat with rare glimpses of cabbage to a plate of cabbage with pieces of sausage.
33. Soups are the starting point for any holiday in Poland. The must-have first course for Christmas is mushroom soup or red borscht (monosyllabic spiced beetroot soup). Red borscht is often not eaten, but drunk, so do not relax if on Christmas Eve you get a glass of liquid that looks like mulled wine.? Yes, you can stumble upon borscht in coffee machines, again, I do not recommend stumbling across it.? At Easter they eat zurek - soup on sourdough with white sausage and egg, and even the wedding feast begins with soup. However, on ordinary days, not everyone eats soup for lunch.
34. What I could not get used to for a long time is the fact that Poles hardly eat bread with soup. Well, in catering establishments, bread is very rarely relied on for the first. But you can try the zurek in a bread pot (the crumb is removed and the bread turns into a dish).
35. One of the most bright holidays in Poland - All Saints Day on November 1. It is somewhat similar to our memorial Sunday, only on a large scale. People come to the cemetery and with the onset of dusk they light candles in huge numbers, it becomes as light as day. In general, in terms of the number of icon lamps placed around monuments and in cemeteries, as for me, Poles are world leaders.
36. On the other hand, it is in vain to come to Poland as a tourist to enjoy a real Catholic Christmas. On December 24 at 15.00 all shops, museums, cafes, bars are closed and so on for the next three days. During this time, Poles mostly gather with families, stay at home, drink, eat and watch TV. On Christmas Eve, my friends and I found only one working Kebab for the two-millionth Warsaw and a couple of booze stands, and a day later the only open pizzeria for a huge shopping center.
37. An employer has no right to force employees to work on Christmas, so only small family shops or petrol stations can be open. At the latter, we were once offered to buy a half-liter bottle of 96% alcohol. Alcoholism is not fought here by selling alcohol only by prescription.
38. Polish fast food number one is kebab. In terms of composition, the same shawarma, only twice as large and placed in half a loaf, is eaten with a plastic fork, since everything does not fit into the mouth at once.
39. Pizza in pizzerias often relies on an additional jar of sauce (garlic or ketchup). This makes the pizza more juicy. I have never seen anything like it in other countries.

40. From the remnants of the Soviet era, the so-called "milk bars", originally subsidized by the state, have survived in many cities in Poland. Food in them has always been and remains cheaper than in other places. For 10-15 zlotys (100-150 rubles) you can have a full meal. True, the order in dairy bars remains very soviet.
41. Fruits and vegetables are one of the main exported products from Poland. You can buy them here quite cheaply: for 4–5 zlotys (40 rubles) a kilogram of peaches. The same applies to prices for meat and dairy products.
42. Some of the products that are either not available in Poland, or very difficult to find: crackers for beer, fermented baked milk, condensed milk, dumplings and taranka (Poles cannot stand its smell).
43. Contrary to the prevailing opinion even in Poland, Poles do not drink so much and share among themselves stories about the impermeability of Finns who are on hard drinking from Friday to Monday, or about 5 liters of beer drunk by a German per evening.
44. On the other hand, vodka is one of the symbols of the country. When my friends and I sat down in a cafe in the center of Warsaw on the first day and ordered beer, the waiter looked with a smile and said: “Guys! You are in Poland, take vodka! ”Meanwhile, they won't argue that vodka was invented in Poland, and not in Russia.
45. Traditional Polish vodka - bison with a blade of grass inside. For soldering the female half, it is often mixed with apple juice, this mix is ​​called "charlotte".
46. ​​In Poland, there are no chemical low-alcohol drinks like a screwdriver, but there are a lot of different types of honey and fruit beer.
47. In addition, it is considered quite normal to order regular beer with the addition of raspberry or ginger juice in a bar, and then drink it from a straw.
48. Poles are very athletic, do not suffer from excess weight, many run, go to the gym, go in for dancing, salsa studios are growing here like mushrooms.
49. The number one sport is football. Despite the mediocre performance of the national team and a weak domestic league, almost everyone in Poland is an ardent football fan. Somewhere in ód you can be easily beaten if you do not correctly decide which local club (LKS or Widzew) you are a fan of.

50. Since Polish clubs and the national team fail quite often, a popular phrase is “Polacy, nic sie nie stalo” (“Poles, nothing happened”).
51. Even the current championship of the Polish representation in volleyball in the World Volleyball League has not particularly shaken the football championship.
52. On the site of the current National Stadium in Warsaw, built specifically for Euro 2012, there used to be the largest bazaar in Eastern Europe. There you could buy everything from smuggled Ukrainian cigarettes and pirated discs to any clothes and documents. This part of the right-bank Warsaw is called Prague, and a couple of years ago the area was considered the most criminal and dangerous in the capital.
53. By the way, Poland is the first European country to protest massively against the ACTA, which restricts the freedom to disseminate information on the Internet. Do not tell me, but torrents are very close to Poles.
54. Polish roads can hardly be called ideal. There were almost no wide and fast motorways connecting major cities, especially before the European Football Championship. Now the country has embarked on a course for the improvement of infrastructure and wherever you cannot go, new roads are being built everywhere.
55. On the average, Poles take the license from 3-5th time. This is one of the remnants of the old corrupt system. Now it is impossible to give a bribe to the examiner, cameras are installed in the cars, but in order for the work of the instructors to pay off, the examiners are deliberately overwhelmed with minor mistakes.
56. Poles are punctual enough. The public transport system has a detailed schedule of all routes at each stop. Moreover, the schedule is almost not violated.
57. Of all Polish cities, the metro is only in Warsaw. The only line for today was launched in 1995, the opening of the second line is planned for a year, but for now the entire Polish capital has been carefully dug by the metro.
58. According to legend, after the war, I. Stalin, as a free gift from the Soviet people to the Polish people, offered to build in Warsaw either a metro or a palace of culture. The Poles chose the latter, for which they received the tallest building in Poland, erected according to the type of Stalinist skyscrapers - the 237-meter Palace of Culture and Science.
59. During the Second World War, Warsaw was 85% destroyed, the retreating Germans wanted to raze the city to the ground. There were proposals to leave the ruins and move the capital to another place. Warsaw today is a whole city rebuilt from scratch. The restoration proceeded at an accelerated pace, block houses in the style of socialist realism were hastily built, so most Poles do not like Warsaw, they say that it is very noisy and gray.

60. The old town (historical center) of Warsaw was rebuilt from the paintings of the 17th and 18th centuries and was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List as an example of a thorough restoration of the destroyed heritage. In other cities of Poland, restoration is not always in a hurry, because the restored houses suddenly show the owners who owned the house before the war.
61. When you say Auschwitz, the Poles correct you - it is correct to call the concentration camp Auschwitz, since it was built by the Germans. In May of this year, Obama's speech, in which he used the phrase "Polish death camp", caused a massive resonance here.
62. Urban transport in Poland is an integral system. In Warsaw, the same ticket allows you to travel on the metro, city bus, regular or tourist tram, suburban train and even a ferry across the Vistula, which runs in summer.
63. The variety of tickets is also amazing: from 15 minutes in Krakow for 2 zlotys (? 20 rubles) and 20 minutes in Warsaw for 2.60 to plastic travel cards with a 90-day top-up for 220 zlotys.
64. Children under 7 years old, honorary blood donors who donated more than 18 liters, people over 70, as well as luggage, bicycles and pets ride for free.
65. Tickets can be bought from vending machines or kiosks. Moreover, the kiosk is a general name for small shops with a basic set of products and the press, and the kiosk can be located anywhere, including shopping centers.
66. There are trolleybuses only in three cities in Poland: Lublin, Gdynia and Tyche.
67. Night buses run in all major cities at night, their route differs from the usual one and covers the route of several daytime buses. Everything that is prohibited on public transport (smoking, drinking alcohol, damage to the property of the car park, fights) can be more than enjoyed on night buses.
68. Despite the abundance of modern buses with low seating positions, air conditioning, a plasma screen showing the route and current location, about a quarter of buses in Warsaw are old Ikarus. Often they play the role of night buses, if they do, it's not a pity)
69. Yellow traffic light in Poland is called orange.

70. The complexity of transport interchanges in Warsaw frightens from ignorance. For example, in the capital there are more than fifty Dw Wilenski stops, each with its own number and may be located five hundred meters from another with the same name. And the routes of some buses contain up to three stops of the same name in a row.
71. Cyclists in Poland feel quite confident. Sidewalks are often divided into two parts - for people on feet and on wheels. It is better not to enter the bike path, they may run over. Automatic bike rental stations have been operating in Warsaw since August this year. The principle is the same as in Paris or London - 20 minutes free of charge, up to 1 hour - 1 zloty, further more expensive. In Krakow and Wroclaw, such a rental has been operating for several years, the capital does not immediately adopt innovations.
72. The sirens of emergency services (ambulance, fire, police) are simply deafening and clearly sound louder than required. They say this is done so that the Poles know where their taxes go.
73. Trains, unlike buses, are not particularly punctual. The time of delay at the station is announced in minutes and sometimes one has to hear that the train is late by 90 or even 300 minutes.
74. For travel in 2nd class carriages, tickets are often sold in unlimited quantities and without seats, so you have to stand very tightly in the vestibule for several hours in a row. There were times when the train was late due to the fact that all the passengers could not be pushed into the carriage.
75. Poles are indeed very religious, although at first glance this may not be noticed. The churches use the McDonald's slogan here - the nearest one is five minutes from you. And most importantly, Catholic churches are packed to capacity during services. Probably, this is facilitated by the nature of the Catholic service, which is fundamentally different from the Orthodox - you do not need to stand all the time, and the priest (Catholic priest) will certainly tell a couple of anecdotes during the mass. And in order to make food holy for Easter, you don't need to wake up at five in the morning (they do it on Saturday a day).
76. Catholics give communion only with bread (payment), only the priest drinks wine, and, given the number of masses, towards evening he should be well cheerful.
77. Popular in certain circles are the Catholic "Radio Maria" and the TV channel Trwam, which often manipulate the opinion of believing voters.
78. The Catholic Church has the right not only to marry, but also to officially register a marriage, without going to the registry office.
79. And yes, abortion is prohibited in Poland.

80. The figure of Pope John Paul II c. Poland is practically inviolable, and it is better not to argue with the Poles on the subject of the pontiff and not joke. In every city you will find a street named after him, a monument and a school, if the school is, of course, lucky.
81. The first president of post-communist Poland, the leader of Solidarity, Lech Walesa, enjoys almost the same unshakable love and respect. Other Poles of world importance - the composer Frederic Chopin, as well as Maria Skłodowska-Curie, who discovered polonium and radium, outside the country are often mistaken for the French, and the maiden name of the latter is generally omitted.
82. Despite the power of the church, opposing views in society are also strong. In the last parliamentary elections, more than 10% of Poles voted for the Palikot Movement, a newly-minted party that advocates stopping funding for religious organizations, removing crucifixes from the Seimas Hall, and, meanwhile, legalizing same-sex relationships, abortion and marijuana. For the first time a transsexual and an open homosexual got into the Polish Parliament from this party.
83. It is hard to argue that the school is separate from the church. In 9 out of 10 schools in each !!! the classroom will have a crucifix on the walls. In addition, from first to sixth grade, twice a week a religion lesson, usually taught by Catholic sisters. Religion is one without a choice - Catholicism. The lesson is optional, but few people refuse.
84. A couple of years ago in Wroclaw, a group of parents protested against crucifixions in classrooms, the crosses were removed, a week later, twice as large a group of their opponents came out, and the crosses had to be returned.
85. The school system is different from what we are used to and is divided into 3 stages. Podstawowka - junior grades 1 to 6, gimnazjum - equivalent to grades 7-9, liceum - senior grades (10-12). Each of these schools is separated from the previous one, often located in a different building, and the student, when moving to the next class, has to change not only the place, but also the team. This is supposedly done so that senior classes do not offend younger children.
86. Children in Polish schools feel more free than in ours, there is no compulsory school uniform, they often wear removable slippers. Due to the lack of a sufficient number of shops in the corridors, during breaks, a picture of schoolchildren lying on the floor among the rubble of backpacks is often observed. Old school teachers, as expected, blame a lack of discipline.
87. The analogue of the graduation ball in Poland is called “hundred days” and is organized one hundred days before the final exams (matura). The obligatory first dance is the polonaise. Poland - the only country, where you participate in a similar ball even before graduation.
88. In the last grades of school, students take additional lessons with tutors, often in English, even if it is not needed upon admission. To get a job, the language is required even from middle managers, so the level of English among urban youth is quite high.
89. Poles enter higher educational institutions at the age of 18–20. The student academic year, in contrast to the school year, begins in October. Higher education in Polish, including for foreigners, is free in many universities, which attracts foreign students especially from Belarus and Ukraine, but one can only hope for a scholarship in rare cases.

90. It is hard to reproach every Pole with excessive politeness and excessive culture, but being trapped in the middle of the bus, do not worry that you will pass your stop - the bus floor will come out to let you pass. After eating, it is customary to say thank you to everyone, not even the hostess for the prepared dishes, but to the interlocutors for the company.
91. In Warsaw, wherever you go, you will come across a theater everywhere. There are definitely more theaters than cinema. According to the Polish Wikipedia, there are 47 theaters in the capital and only 36 cinemas, no circus buildings. In other cities, the trend continues.
92. In Poland, few people have heard of Barbara Brylska; she is definitely not among the top ten Polish actors. But the diminutive form of the name Barbara sounds very nice - Basia.
93. All films in cinema, except for cartoons, are shown without dubbing with subtitles. Perhaps this is also one of the reasons for good knowledge of English language among the masses.
94. The price of tickets in the cinema is the same regardless of the location, you just buy what you like from the free ones.
95. Poles have to pay about PLN 200 a year for using public television and radio, but most do not pay as payment is not compulsory. They say that in this case, they can come to you at any time to check if you are watching TV and be fined.
96. Comparatively cheap cable Internet can be obtained upon signing a contract for at least a year, otherwise it will be three times more expensive. The technical support services here are simply terrible, it is impossible to get through, and if you call, you rarely get intelligible information. Mobile Internet and telephone communication are inexpensive, and when you change the operator, you will be left with the old number.
97. The queue at the post office, in banks, state institutions is usually electronic by numbers, there is enough bureaucracy, but it looks quite soft: when filling out forms, up to 5 corrections are allowed, officials do not shout and do not pretend to be a navel of the earth. Although residents of Western Europe say that too many people work here in places where they would have had a machine gun long ago.
98. Poland is a country where much is not allowed. It is forbidden to drink alcohol in public places, it is vigilantly monitored by the police, the fine is 100 zlotys (about 1000 rubles). Moreover, for drinking on the go, the fine is higher.
99. Most Poles are very patient guys, as they have to wait a lot at traffic lights. For switching to a red light on a zebra, you need to pay 100-200 PLN, outside pedestrian crossing 50, but for crossing the road in the wrong place only 30.
100. In parallel with the usual male and female silhouette to designate a toilet, Poland uses its own icons: a triangle for “M” and a circle for “F”. Try to comprehend the deep symbolism of this yourself.

Since in Ukraine, according to statistics, there are fewer men than women, so as not to suffer from loneliness, you can focus on foreigners. Moreover, they are very fond of Ukrainian women ... for their beauty, character, persistent and hard work.

Our compatriots, who know the foreign environment inside the country itself, tell about the mental characteristics of men abroad.

Complain for no reason

Country number three on our list is so close and at the same time far away - Poland. How the family institute works there and why the Poles love Ukrainian women so much, said the ex-resident of Zaporozhye, who moved to this country for permanent residence, Yekaterina Kuznetsova.

- Poland, although supposedly a state close to Ukraine in spirit, but the Polish people, especially the indigenous people, differ significantly in mentality, demeanor and even everyday habits. As practice shows, the locals are very friendly, polite and good-natured, although the majority have a habit of complaining for no reason, ”she says. Our compatriot noticed some peculiarities in the rules of local etiquette. So, when Poles meet, they shake hands, and kiss good friends on the cheek. Respectful "pani / pan" works everywhere - even on the street, even in a cafe, even in an elite restaurant. - It catches my eyes very much how people behave in public transport: men let women pass forward, they open the door or hold the elevator. In fact, this is a trifle, but very nice. I would like men in Ukraine to remember to be polite, - continues the interlocutor.

The Zaporozhian woman was very pleased with the fact that in Poland it is strictly forbidden to smoke at public transport stops. Therefore, you do not catch men with a cigarette in your mouth at every step, but only in places specially designated for that. The citizens themselves and the police tightly control smokers and, in case of violation, issue them rather large fines.

Returning from earnings

Unlike Ukrainian, Polish men are more trained in order. There are litter bins at every step, the owners clean up after the dogs, and in public transport everyone pays for the fare. You rarely find a controller there, but there are enough "hares", and they are - predominantly from other countries, including ours. - Poles also work in different spheres, some go to work further to Europe. But the difference between them and us is that they return to live in their native land, which cannot be said about us, - says Katya. - Now, with the new president Andrzej Duda, it has become easier for women to live ... For each child, the state allocates aid - 500 zlotys per month. And another +130 zlotys are given for each child, if the family low-income... Therefore, if a woman has a minimum wage, it is not profitable for her to go to work, because then all help is canceled. If a person earns well, then the family has enough to live on. This year, aid was introduced for all pupils - 300 zlotys. And those who go to school also receive funds to buy everything they need by the beginning of the school year. As a mother, this makes me very happy.

They don't have a rest for all the money

In terms of courtship, as Ekaterina noted, Poles are not very different from Ukrainians. Although he cannot say about everyone. “There is a shovel in every house ... There are those who abuse alcohol, there are those who cheat, and those who carry their women in their arms,” she continues. - As in other European countries, in Poland it is not practiced to marry early. According to the latest information from the Chief statistical governing Poland, the country is quantitatively dominated by representatives of the beautiful half of humanity. Among 38.5 million Poles, 52% are women, that is, in cities there are as many as 111 women per 100 men, and in villages - 101. Young people in Poland are becoming less conservative and willingly imitate the European approach to weddings- the later, the stronger.

According to statistics, Polish women get married on average at 26.4 years old, and Polish men leave the bachelor path at the age of 28.4 years. - A man and a woman meet for a very long time - 5-10 years before marriage ... Often young Polish couples go to work, first collect funds for a house, a wedding, and only then get married. And we have it so sadly that, according to all traditions, parents make weddings to children, - says the woman. Poles divide responsibilities in families in different ways. Here, according to the compatriot, the phrase works well: "As you go to bed, you will sleep well." There are families where the wife is in charge, but there are other families. - Life in Poland, in my opinion, is more measured and calm. Ukrainian men and women run headlong to work and work until the last client. This is not the case here. For example, I was shocked by the stories of my friends. Those go to the hairdresser for 5-10 years, and if the master works until six, then only until six. She will not enter into your position, even if you have known each other for ten years. Lowers the roller blinds and "Goodbye!" - the interlocutor notes. “I think women are happier here.

They don’t carry ten bags from the store; families, as a rule, have cars.Poles go on vacation with their families, and not for the last money, as we do, but for a salary.It is also a local tradition to spend interesting weekends.

Love for hard work

Poles love Ukrainian women for their beauty, charisma and hard work.They like our solicitude.Mentally with the Poles, if the woman is from Western Ukraine, there is not much difference.Poles, like Ukrainians, are Christians.Some of their celebrations are different.They, for example, are surprised by our loud festivities on New Year, or rituals for Baptism, - says Katya.However, one should not forget that some Poles are rather dismissive of Ukrainians.There are those who still consider our territory their colony.Hypocrisy is also present in society.Some Polish employers perceive our men as cheap labor, and women are viewed as objects of sexual pleasures, - adds the ex-resident of Zaporozhye.

There are pros and cons everywhere.According to women, Ukrainian men are more attractive.Poles for her from the outside are not so attractive, although there are no comrades in color.

Interesting facts about Polish romance

Poles are the earliest people in the EU to get married.Polish men dress for the first time wedding ring on average at 29 years old, while Scandinavians get married after 25, and Spaniards - at 34. Polish women become wives a little earlier than men - at 27.Younger brides in the EU are only residents of Bulgaria and Romania.
