The Armed Forces in the East refers to military units composed of Poles created in the Soviet Union at the time when the territory of Poland was occupied by both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in the Second World War. Broadly speaking, there were two such formations. First was the Polish government-in-exile-loyal Anders Army, created in the second half of 1941 after German invasion of the USSR led to the 30 July 1941 Polish-Soviet Sikorski-Mayski Agreement declaring an amnesty for Polish citizens held captive in the USSR. In 1942 this formation was evacuated to Persia and transferred to the Western Allies, whereupon it became known as the Polish II Corps and went on to fight Nazi German forces in Italy, including at the Battle of Monte Cassino. Following this, the remaining Polish forces in USSR were reorganized into Soviet-controlled Polish I Corps in the Soviet Union, which in turn was reorganized in 1944 into Polish First Army (Berling Army) and Polish Second Army, both part of Polish People's Army (Ludowe Wojsko Polskie, LWP).

The Polish-Soviet War (February 1919 -- March 1921) was an armed conflict of Soviet Russia and Soviet Ukraine against the Second Polish Republic and the short-lived Ukrainian People's Republic, four states in post-World War I Europe. The war was the result of conflicting expansionist attempts. Poland, whose statehood had just been re-established by the Treaty of Versailles following the Partitions of Poland in the late 18th century, sought to secure territories which she had lost at the time of partitions; the Soviets' aim was to control those same territories, which had been part of Imperial Russia until the turbulent events of the Great War. Both States claimed victory[1] in the war: the Poles claimed a successful defense of their state, while the Soviets claimed a repulse of the Polish eastward invasion of Ukraine and Belarus, which they viewed as a part of foreign intervention in the Russian Civil War.

This is my personal answer to the Russian propaganda. This video shows the meeting of Soviet and German troops, setting up poles on the border in divided Poland. Starting a fire and then being proud you put it out is no glory... The 1939 Soviet invasion of Poland was a military operation that started without a formal declaration of war on 17 September 1939, during the early stages of World War II, sixteen days after the beginning of the Nazi German attack on Poland. It ended in a decisive victory for the Soviet Union's Red Army. On the 23 August 1939 Soviets signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, with Nazi Germany. As a result, on 1 September, the Germans invaded Poland from the west; and on 17 September, the Red Army invaded Poland from the east. The Soviet government announced that it was acting to protect the Ukrainians and Belarusians who lived in the eastern part of Poland, because the Polish state had collapsed in the face of the German attack and could no longer guarantee the security of its own citizens. The Red Army quickly achieved its targets, vastly outnumbering Polish resistance. About 230000 Polish soldiers or more (452 500) were taken prisoners of war. The Soviet government annexed the territory newly under its control and in November declared that the 13.5 million Polish citizens who lived there were now Soviet citizens. The Soviets quelled opposition by executions and by arresting thousands. They sent hundreds of thousands (estimates vary) to Siberia and <b>...</b>

The „Last Sunday" -- erroneously called „THAT Last Sunday" -- was composed by the Polish composer Jerzy Petersburski in 1936. It is a nostalgic tango with lyrics by Zenon Friedwald describing the final meeting of former lovers who are parting. The Polish title was: "To Ostatnia Niedziela" ("The Last Sunday"). The song was extremely popular and was performed by numerous artists (the best known performance by the pre-war Polish singer Mieczysław Fogg). Along the way, it first gained the nick-name of "Suicide Tango" due to its sad lyric (although, the real „suicie song" in the night restaurants of Warsaw -- where the shoot in the brow at 12 at night was not an unusual happening - was in 1930s another sad „Sunday": the „Gloomy Sunday" (in Polish: „Smutna niedziela") by a Hungarian composer Rezső Seress. Soon, it became an international hit; in the US sung by Billie Holiday. But Polish „Last Sunday" also had a terribly sad fate. During World War II In the concentrations camps it was often played while Jewish prisoners were led to the gas chambers and ovens, to be executed. During World War II its Russian version was prepared by Iosif Alveg and performed by Leonid Utyosov under the title of "Weary Sun" (Russian: "Utomlyennoye Solntse"). After World War II, the song remained largely successful and appeared in a number of films, including Yuriy Norshteyn's 1979 "Tale of Tales" (considered by many international critics to be the greatest animated film ever made), the award-winning <b>...</b>

Poland's Chief of State, Józef Piłsudski, felt the time expedient to expand Polish borders as far east as feasible, to be followed by the creation of a Polish-led federation (Międzymorze) of several <b>...</b>

THE SOVIETS The Soviets looked to destroy Polish self-rule using deportation of hundreds of thousands of Polish citizens and forcing their system of government upon them. They set out to remove a thousand years of Polish cultural influences. Polish was replaced in official usage. Schools spread Soviet indoctrination and religious education was forbidden. Monuments were destroyed, street names changed, bookshops closed, libraries burned and publishers shutdown. Soviet censorship was strictly enforced. Even the ringing of church bells was banned. In 1940 and the first half of 1941, the Soviets deported more than 1500000 Poles, most in four mass deportations. Most of them died of freezing cold, starvation and disease. The first deportation took place February 10, 1940, with more than 220000 sent to northern European Russia; the second on April 13-15, 1940, sending 300000 to 330000 primarily to Kazakhstan; a third wave in June-July 1940 totaled more than 240000 perhaps 400000; the fourth occurred in June, 1941, deporting 200000. The fourth wave contained a large number of children.

Bitwa warszawska (nazywana też Cudem nad Wisłą) bitwa stoczona w dniach 12-25 sierpnia 1920 w czasie wojny polsko-bolszewickiej. Uznana za 18. na liście przełomowych bitew w historii świata, zdecydowała o zachowaniu niepodległości przez Polskę i nie rozprzestrzenieniu się rewolucji komunistycznej na Europę Zachodnią. Autorem planu bitwy warszawskiej był szef sztabu generalnego Tadeusz Rozwadowski. Kluczową rolę odegrał manewr Wojska Polskiego oskrzydlający Armię Czerwoną przeprowadzony przez Naczelnego Wodza Józefa Piłsudskiego, wyprowadzony znad Wieprza 16 sierpnia, przy jednoczesnym związaniu głównych sił bolszewickich na przedpolach Warszawy. The Battle of Warsaw (Russian: Варшáвское сражéние, Polish: Bitwa Warszawska; sometimes referred to as the Miracle at the Vistula, Polish: Cud nad Wisłą) was the decisive battle of the PolishSoviet War, which began soon after the end of World War I in 1918 and lasted until the Treaty of Riga (1921). The Battle of Warsaw was fought from August 13 to August 25, 1920 as Red Army forces commanded by Mikhail Tukhachevsky approached the Polish capital of Warsaw and nearby Modlin Fortress. On August 16, Polish forces commanded by Józef Piłsudski counterattacked from the south, forcing the Russian forces into a disorganised withdrawal eastward and behind the Neman River. Estimated Soviet losses were 10000 killed, 500 missing, 10000 wounded, and 66000 taken prisoner, compared with Polish losses of some 4500 killed, 10000 missing, and 22000 <b>...</b>

Until 1989, while communists held power in a People's Republic of Poland, the Polish-Soviet War was omitted or minimized in Polish and other Soviet bloc countries' history books, or was presented as foreign intervention during the Russian Civil War to fit in with communist ideology. One of the most easily overlooked, yet momentous short wars of the 20th century was the swift-moving clash between the post-World War I Polish Republic and Russias brand-new Bolshevik regime of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. Reaching a climax during the summer of 1920, the Russo-Polish War is often regarded as the final episode of the Russian Civil War. In fact, it was much more — at once a reflection of the age-old enmity between two Slavic neighbors and a Marxist crusade bent on varying the torch of revolution into the heart of Europe. The campaign featured a remarkable cast of characters on both sides and mixed ferocious cavalry charges with early blitzkrieg tactics in quest of exceptional objectives.Bolshevik commanders in the Red Army's coming offensive would include Leon Trotsky, Mikhail Tukhachevsky (new commander of the Western Front), the future Soviet ruler Joseph Stalin and the founder of the Cheka (secret police)Feliks Dzierżyński. Germany and France were war weary and were experiencing problems such as unemployment and general economic disruption.

The Katyn massacre, also known as the Katyn Forest massacre (Polish: zbrodnia katyńska, 'Katyń crime'), was a mass murder of thousands of Polish prisoners of war (primarily military officers), intellectuals, policemen, and other public servants by the Soviet NKVD, based on a proposal from Lavrentiy Beria to execute all members of the Polish Officer Corps. Dated March 5, 1940, this official document was then approved (signed) by the entire Soviet Politburo including Joseph Stalin and Beria. The number of victims is estimated at about 22000, the most commonly cited number being 21768. The victims were murdered in the Katyn Forest in Russia, the Kalinin (Tver) and Kharkov prisons and elsewhere. About 8000 were officers taken prisoner during the 1939 Soviet invasion of Poland, the rest being Poles arrested for allegedly being "intelligence agents, gendarmes, saboteurs, landowners, factory owners, lawyers, priests, and officials." Since Poland's conscription system required every unexempted university graduate to become a reserve officer, the Soviets were able to round up much of the Polish intelligentsia, and the Jewish, Ukrainian, and Belarusian intelligentsia of Polish citizenship. Nazi Germany announced the discovery of mass graves in the Katyn Forest in 1943. The revelation led to the end of diplomatic relations between Moscow and the London-based Polish government-in-exile. The Soviet Union continued to deny the massacres until 1990, when it finally acknowledged the <b>...</b>

www.facebook.com The Invasion of Poland in 1939 precipitated World War II. It was carried out by Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and a small Slovak contingent. In Poland the invasion is also known as the September Campaign (Kampania wrześniowa) or the 1939 Defensive War (Wojna obronna 1939 roku). In Germany it is sometimes referred to as the Poland Campaign (Polenfeldzug) or the Polish-German War of 1939. For the German General Staff, it was codenamed Unternehmen Fall Weiss, or Case White. The invasion of Poland marked the start of World War II in Europe, as Poland's western allies, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand,[8] declared war on Germany on September 3, soon followed by France, South Africa and Canada, among others. The invasion began on 1 September 1939, one week after the signing of the MolotovRibbentrop Pact, and ended 6 October 1939, with Germany and the Soviet Union occupying the entirety of Poland. Although the United Kingdom and France declared war on Germany soon after Germany attacked Poland, very little direct military aid was provided (see Phoney War and Western betrayal). Following a German-staged "Polish attack" on 31 August 1939, on 1 September German forces invaded Poland from the north, south, and west. Spread thin defending their long borders, the Polish armies were soon forced to withdraw eastward. After the mid-September Polish defeat in the Battle of the Bzura, the Germans gained an undisputed advantage. Polish forces then began a <b>...</b>

All my clip is supposed to portray the nightmare of national schizophrenia that laid hold of the poeople's minds in the Stalinist Poland (years 1948-56). On one hand, at homes they played such music, which painfully reminded everyone of not-long-ago and lost, as they thought, forever, capitalist society, free trade, democtratic rights for the people etc., while on the other hand, out in the streets was nothing but most vulgar Soviet-style propaganda, implanted by force onto the collective memory of the nation numbering as many as 10 centuries of its royal and democtratic history. Such schizofrenic and a pure-nonsense process of indoctrination was possible only by eliminating the intelligentsia, first in a physical sense (example of which was NKVD-organised Katyn massacre of 10 thousand Polish officers in 1940) and - secondly - by their professional degradation and cutting off sources of their oeconomic existence. That's exactly what happened to my family: my Father, who until the 2nd World War was a director of secondary school near Poznań, in 1948 was automatically deprived of his professional status.

Another pair whose lengthy interaction has yet to appear in Hetalia. After the great nomad invasions of the 13th century the region of modern Belarus was depopulated and the remaining Ruthenian principalities became subjects of the Golden Horde. During the 14th and early 15th century these lands along with modern Ukraine and parts of Russia were taken over by the Lithuanians. After the Polish Lithuanian union these lands remained part of Lithuania but saw large numbers of Poles settle there as well as never ending streams of Polish soldiers sent to aid Lithuania in its never ending wars with Russia. The local gentry also underwent Polonization in an attempt to fit into the new system. The situation continued till the partitions of the 18th century where all of the lands of modern Belarus were claimed by Russia. Despite growing russification the locals still felt more loyalty to the Polish gentry rather than distant Petersburg and took part in Polands numerous uprisings. The concepts for a separate state of Belarus first appeared after WW 1 as part of Polands plan to form an Intermarine confederation stretching from the Baltic to the Black and Adriatic seas. However the Belarussians had not yet formed a national identity and the Polish-Soviet war of 1919-1921 saw the area divided between the Poles and Russians. During the Interbellum <b>...</b>

Warszawa,archiwalne zdjęcia z lotu ptaka po powstaniu Warszawskim.The Warsaw Uprising (Polish: powstanie warszawskie) was a major World War II operation by the Polish resistance Home Army (Polish: Armia Krajowa), to liberate Warsaw from Nazi Germany, ahead of the Red Army advance. The rebellion coincided with the retreat... of German forces and the Red Army approaching the eastern suburbs of the city[10]. Controversially, the Soviet advance stopped short, while Polish resistance against the German forces continued for 63 days with little outside support. The Uprising began on 1 August 1944, as part of a nationwide rebellion, Operation Tempest, when the Soviet Army approached Warsaw. The main Polish objectives were to drive the German occupiers from the city and help with the larger fight against Germany and the Axis powers. Secondary political objectives were to liberate Warsaw before the Soviets, so as to underscore Polish sovereignty by empowering the Polish Underground State before the Soviet-backed Polish Committee of National Liberation could assume control. Also, short term causes included the threat of a German round-up of able bodied Poles, and Moscow radio calling for the Uprising to begin. Initially, the Poles seized substantial areas of the city, but the Soviets did not advance beyond the city's borders until mid-September. Inside the city, bitter fighting between the Germans and Poles continued. By 16 September, Polish forces under Soviet high command reached <b>...</b>

This video shows my Polish M-44 Mosin Nagant carbine manufactured in 1953 by the polish Radom arms factory. It is chambered for the standard 7.62x54R round. This carbine is basically the same as a late production Soviet M-44, except that the quality of fit and finish is superior, approaching that of a quality sporting rifle. As you can see by the almost perfect condition, this particular example was in "unissued" condition. It is believed that these weapons were made on former Soviet/Russian equipment as they were produced a few years after the Soviet Union ceased production of the M-44. Music is "Mazurek Dąbrowskiego", the Polish national anthem.

(December 23,1981) In August 1980, a worker's strike began in Gdansk, Poland in reaction to the struggling economy and massive shortages. In a compromise, the Communist government legalized Solidarity, but this only increased tensions. Imports from the Soviet Union and the West failed to improve the economy, with more strikes becoming endemic throughout 1980 and 1981. Fearing a Soviet military invasion to restore order, President Ronald Reagan issued a stern warning to Moscow in the spring of 1981. On December 13, the Polish Communist Party, prodded by the Soviets, declared martial law and outlawed Solidarity. Reagan wished to quarantine the Soviets & Poland with no trade, or communications across their borders, he told the National Security Council, and tell our NATO allies & others to join us in such sanctions or risk an estrangement from us. In the following televised address, however, the president issued more modest sanctions on Poland.

Russian Civil War en.wikipedia.org The Russian Civil War (1917--1921) was a multi-party war that occurred within the former Russian Empire after the Russian provisional government collapsed and the Soviets under the domination of the Bolshevik party assumed power, first in Petrograd (St. Petersburg) and then in other places. The principal fighting occurred between the Bolshevik Red Army, often in temporary alliance with other leftist pro-revolutionary groups, and the forces of the White Army, the loosely-allied anti-Bolshevik forces. Many foreign armies warred against the Red Army, notably the Allied Forces, and many volunteer foreigners fought in both sides of the Russian Civil War. The Polish--Soviet War is often viewed as a theatre of the conflict. Other nationalist and regional political groups also participated in the war, including the Ukrainian nationalist Green Army, the Ukrainian anarchist Black Army and Black Guards, and warlords such as Ungern von Sternberg. The most intense fighting took place from 1918 to 1920. Major military operations ended on 25 October 1922 when the Red Army occupied Vladivostok, previously held by the Provisional Priamur Government. The last enclave of the White Forces was the Ayano-Maysky District on the Pacific coast, where General Anatoly Pepelyayev did not capitulate until 17 June 1923.

(December 23,1981) In August 1980, a worker's strike began in Gdansk, Poland in reaction to the struggling economy and massive shortages. In a compromise, the Communist government legalized Solidarity, but this only increased tensions. Imports from the Soviet Union and the West failed to improve the economy, with more strikes becoming endemic throughout 1980 and 1981. Fearing a Soviet military invasion to restore order, President Ronald Reagan issued a stern warning to Moscow in the spring of 1981. On December 13, the Polish Communist Party, prodded by the Soviets, declared martial law and outlawed Solidarity. Reagan wished to quarantine the Soviets & Poland with no trade, or communications across their borders, he told the National Security Council, and tell our NATO allies & others to join us in such sanctions or risk an estrangement from us. In the following televised address, however, the president issued more modest sanctions on Poland.

World War II opened with the German invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939.In keeping with the terms of the Secret Additional Protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact Germany informed the Soviet Union that its forces were nearing the Soviet interest zone in Poland and so urged the Soviet Union to move into its zone. The Soviets had been taken by surprise by the speed of the German advance as they had expected to have several weeks to prepare for an invasion rather than merely a few days. They did promise to move as quickly as possible. On September 17 the Soviets invaded eastern Poland, forcing the Polish government and military to abandon their plans for a long-term defense in the Romanian bridgehead area. The last remaining Polish Army units capitulated in early October. After Poland had been overrun, a government-in-exile, an armed forces, and an intelligence service were established outside of Poland. These organisations contributed to the Allied effort throughout the war. As Poland never made a general surrender or produced a collaboratory puppet govenment, it was directly governed by a purely German administration know as the Generalgouvernement. This administration was in turn opposed by the underground Polish Secret State. Poles provided important help to the Allies throughout the war. Some of these actions included the prewar and wartime decyphering of German Enigma machine codes by cryptologists Marian Rejewski and his colleagues; the service of the Polish Air <b>...</b>

Poland (Polska) officially the Republic of Poland (Rzeczpospolita Polska). Is a country in Central Europe bordered by the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south; Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania to the east, Germany to the west; and the Baltic Sea and Kaliningrad Oblast, a Russian exclave, to the north. The total area of Poland is 312679 square kilometres, Poland has a population of over 39 million people. The establishment of a Polish state is often identified with the adoption of Christianity by its ruler Mieszko I in 966, when the state covered territory similar to that of present-day Poland. The Kingdom of Poland was formed in 1025, and in 1569 it cemented a long association with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by signing the Union of Lublin, forming the Polish--Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Commonwealth collapsed in 1795, and Poland's territory was partitioned among the Kingdom of Prussia, the Russian Empire, and Austria. Poland regained its independence as the Second Polish Republic in 1918, after World War I, but two decades later it was occupied by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union at the outbreak of World War II in September 1939. Poland lost over six million citizens in the war and emerged several years later as the People's Republic of Poland under Soviet influence. During the Revolutions of 1989, communist rule was overthrown, and Poland became what is constitutionally known as the "Third Polish Republic". Poland is a unitary state, made up of sixteen Voivodeships <b>...</b>

Song: "Polish Blood" Bootleg: "Drunken Orgy In Hell" Tribute to The Warsaw Uprising... The Warsaw Uprising (Powstanie Warszawskie) was a World War II struggle by the Polish Home Army (Armia Krajowa) to liberate Warsaw from German occupation. The Uprising began on August 1, 1944, as part of a nationwide rebellion, Operation Tempest. It was intended to last for only a few days until the Soviet Army would reach the city. The Soviet advance stopped short, however, while Polish resistance against the German forces continued for 63 days (until October 2). The Uprising began at a crucial juncture as the Soviet Army was approaching Warsaw. The Uprising's chief objective was to drive the German occupiers from the city, helping with the larger fight against the Axis. Secondary political objectives were to liberate Warsaw before the Red Army arrived, so as to underscore Polish sovereignty, and to undo the Allied division of Central Europe into spheres of influence. Polish authorities were to reappear in liberated Warsaw and challenge the Soviet puppet government that was to rule Poland. By September 16, 1944, Soviet forces had reached a point a few hundred metres from the city, across the Vistula River, but they made no further headway during the Uprising leading to allegations that Joseph Stalin had wanted the insurrection to fail. Polish losses amounted to 18000 soldiers killed and 25000 wounded, in addition to between 120000 and 200000 civilian deaths, mostly from mass murders <b>...</b>

The Katyn massacre, also known as the Katyn Forest massacre,, was a mass murder of thousands of Polish prisoners of war, intellectuals, policemen, and other public servants by the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union continued to deny the massacres until 1990. The number of victims is estimated at about 22000. About 8000 were officers taken prisoner during the 1939 Soviet invasion of Poland, the rest being Poles arrested for allegedly being "intelligence agents, gendarmes, saboteurs, landowners, factory owners, lawyers, priests, and officials." No one has been committed for these war crimes. en.wikipedia.org Special thanks to The Soviet Story! www.sovietstory.com

Polish Wilno & St.Casimir Market (Kaziuki) in 1936 NOTE: Thiis documentary movie was made shortly before II World War by the Germans (original version, with German comment, is also available in YT) and with the Lithuanian subtitles, which were added later, when that Polish city started in October 1939 - as the Lithuanian capital - the completely new chapter in its history. A short commentary in the end of my clip adds some historical background to the unbelievable tragedy of Polish inhabitants of Wilno in the years 1939-45. First - the Soviet occupation in September 1939 with the NKWD arrests and deportations of the Poles, then due to the Lithuanian-Soviet pact in October 1939 - the repressions on the Polish citizens, who were declared foreigners with no right to work or to use their native language - then, the repressions carried on by the Lithuanian-Nazi collaborative government, being co-responsible for the mass executions of the Polish intelligentsia in Ponary near Wilno as well as the homicide of almost 100 percent of the Polish Jewry in Wilno; then Soviet occupation again, with new mass deportations to the East of the remnants of Poles, as well as the cruel annihilation of the Polish anti-nazi and anti-communist resistance. In 1945, a handful of Polish survivors each of them with one-two suitcases left their beloved city forever, moving Westwards to Warsaw, Gdańsk or Toruń Music: 1.

Through successive immigrations, the Armenians of Poland gradually formed a colony, comprising 200000. They were welcomed by the Kings of Poland and were granted not only religious liberty, but also political privileges. Casimir III (1333-1370) gave to the Armenians of Kamieniec Podolski in 1344 and those of Lwów in 1356 the right of setting up a national council, exclusively Armenian, known as the "Voit." Armenian origin of many Polish families could be easily traced before World War II. They would intermarry among themselves; if they'd go on religious pilgrimages, they'd prefer visiting the Armenian cathedral of Lwów, built under the inspiration of the churches of Ani. Armyani is a historic old town, named after the Armenians, near the Smodrich River After suffering heavy losses along with the rest of Poland's population in World War II, the polish Armenian community suffered a second loss. The regions of Poland where Armenians were concentrated such as Eastern Galicia were annexed into the Soviet Union as part of the agreements reached at the Yalta conference. As a result the Polish Armenian community became dispersed all over Poland. Most Armenians living in Poland today origins are from the post-Soviet emigration rather than the older Armenian community. After the Soviet Union's collapse thousands of Armenians came to Poland to look for the opportunity to better their life. It is estimated that there are currently between 40000-80000 Armenians in Poland today, with <b>...</b>

Hej Sokoły is a traditional Polish song that was popular among soldiers during the Polish-Soviet War. The title translates roughly as "Hey Falcons." It is sung by Maryla Rodowicz and we're showing some photos of beautiful Poland. There are so many beautiful folk songs in various countries. Wish I can get hold of all beautiful ones like this one so the whole world can enjoy them. The lyrics exist in several versions about a Ukrainian girl to whom her betrothed, either a cossack or an ulan says goodbye for the last time. Although its exact origins are unknown, the song was believed to have been written by the Polish-Ukrainian poet-songwriter Tomasz Padura in the first half of the 19th century. It is representative of what is known as the Ukrainian school of Polish literature. The song also became popular in Ukraine, with a slightly different text in Ukrainian. Polish folk singer Maryla Rodowicz performed a popular cover of the song. THE SINGER Maryla Rodowicz is a Polish singer born in 1945 in Zielona Góra. Her career began in 1967, after winning first prize at "Festiwal Piosenki i Piosenkarzy Studenckich" (The Student Songs and Singers' Festival) in Kraków. Rodowicz has performed in concert worldwide: in Europe, America, Australia, and Asia. She has won awards for her singing.
