Oh what a load nationalism and Pilsudski propaganda. Let's start

Frankly-Poland and the world would have a better option with Dmowski confronting Germany.
In Russia Poles could achieve highest positions in business,politics, science and military. In Germany they were lucky to have a home. Plus Germany was very succesfull in Germanisation of Polish territories. Russia never achieved that.Russia, historically, was the greater threat.
There were not ours but Lithuanian and Ruthanian.For over a century before the Partitions, the Russians stole our eastern territories (especially by supporting the Cossacks).
At the demands of Western Powers. And while Prussia ruled the part it gained with iron fist and started Germanisation, Tsar gave Polish Kingdom the most liberal constitution. If not for lunatics of 1831 it would grow prosperous and rich as the most developed region in Russian sphere. And in 1848 there would be an occassion to regain Galicia and Wielkopolska.Russia took the already small Duchy of Warsaw that Napoleon established, and shrank it further.
A Lithuanian, or Kresowiak. Hardly a PoleIt is only natural that the Poles who opposed Russian expansionism would take power, and Pilsudski was the highest among them
Yes, the Lithuanian-Kresowiak mad dream of eternal fighting with Russia over worthless muds of Polesie and stepps of Ukraine, so that some Kresowiak Magnats can whip Ukrainians peasants for their personal wealth and fun, while ignoring Poles in rich Poznan and mineral abundant Silesia.. And Pilsudski appealed to Polish Romantic Nationalism, especially in his attempts at a Second Polish Commonwealth (Miedzymorze).
The man who expanded Polish borders beyond its limits, who imposed a rule over numerous non-Poles against their will, who betrayed Ukrainians, who imposed dictatorship, tortured and possibly murdered his opponents, the man under whose reign rampant corruption was the norm ?The reason AH.com has any bias toward Pilsudski is that, despite his flaws, he is the sane option for postwar Polish leader.
