Due to the center of Old Town just across the Oder Krosno Odra bank can get busy route named after Michal Rola-Zymierski, or a parallel street of Karl Marx. Choosing the first option, it will be pedestrian street called ZBoWiD. Walking along Karl Marx, you have to cross the street on 22 July. On the German side of the border founder of Marxism under the patronage of roads in many municipalities, but in Poland, admittedly, is a singularity. In Krosno Odrzanskie street Role-Zymierski separated from Marx Children's St Barbara, and no one feels offended for that reason. This is not the only example of symbiosis spirit and matter in the county town.
the bridge begins with the street, under the patronage of another Karol Wojtyla certainly not. John Paul II, moreover, sought in vain to the list of streets. The road leading to the church. Hedwig is named "Walter" Swierczewski. For 20 years the faithful and the pastors did not occur to change the contact details of the parish. And if this combination of sacred and profane lies a goal? Maybe street is aware of the mystery of the eternal struggle of parishioners that every roll of good and evil? Saint Jadwiga beats of "Walter," a government of souls, but the spirit and matter in the clinch and ongoing battle remains unresolved.
WOP went down the street. Formation of Border Troops did not exist 20 years, but residents of the street is still in force the old name. Right bank of the Oder shot up. On the sunny, southern slopes, where now rise apartment blocks, once cultivated vineyards. The wine was strong and sour, and residents of Krosno had unparalleled in his drinking. Apparently the Tsar Peter I, when Travel to Western Europe stopped in Krosno and offered them drinking contest. Unaware of who they are dealing Krosno, took on the challenge. The competition lasted 17 days, and of course winning car. When, after his departure, people found out who was the mysterious guest, the inn, which was drunk at the inn called Peter. 250 years later they destroyed her compatriots Tsar, who not only beat five local people.

National "29" in front of City Hall known as the Defenders of Stalingrad. District Office is located at the junction of the Red Army and 17 Pioneers. Walk around the other cities of the western frontier also recalls a time machine trip. The Red Army entered in the register Gozdnica, Mesopotamia, Trzciel. In Bogatynia the Red Army is a music school. In Rzepin primary school is located at the Heroes of Soviet. The school band students Cedynia them. Polish Army on the street learn role-Zymierski and sick children can be treated at the clinic at the Defenders of Stalingrad. Charles Świerczewski in at Lubuskie in the second plate has its fierce defenders and the masses who have nothing in the world will not take his own patron.
He learned about Edward Patek. Gubin nonpartisan city councilman tried to initiate a public debate on the renaming of some streets. The frontier Gubin is what changed. Names Swierczewski, Rola-Zymierski, Nowotko, Rosa Luxemburg, Marian Buczek still appear in the listings. The whole neighborhood Komorowo young patrons of pre-war communist activists Krasickim with Jack at the helm. People do not allowed to take his own patrons. - "It met me a lot of aggression on the part of residents" - Edward complains Patek. - "The people do not reach that Świerczewski murdered Poles." Gubin mayor is not afraid to change and even proposing a specific solution. - "I'm for the introduction of the American system. Let the word instead of the names will be numbers "- Bart Bartczak says. 30-year-old has a "war of symbols" own opinion. - "It's a political issue and we do not know whether the next government will be told again not to change anything."
West did not penetrate the wall of the hardest head of the IPN. Institute of National Remembrance distributes to local governments in Poland dozens of calls for changing the names of streets, bearing the communist patrons. In the west of the country response is minimal, and if anything comes to answer it in style: "Councillors (Torzymia) concluded that at present do not see the need to change a street name Swierczewski. Admonished because of the "Walter" Lubniewice writing councilors pledged to take the appropriate resolution. Did not take. The city council in Lubsko Zar came near to the letter seriously and voted IPN on changing street names July 22, Poplawski and interwar PRL. Four councilors supported the project, 13 were against. The names were.
Matt Korkuć from Krakow IPN coordinate action to send appeals to the government. To attach the relevant letters and biographical encyclopedias. According to the historian's attachment to the authorities and residents of communist symbols is primarily due to lack of knowledge and people should be educated. Reliable historical information could use a President cooperative afforestation "in Konotopa, which on the proposed amendment on July 22 he wrote to municipal authorities: "The street name comes from the settlement date of the first inhabitant of the blocks and no one interferes in any way." The letter from the President attached a list of signatures of residents expressing their opposition to attempts to receive the honor block pioneers. Perhaps a cooperative council will follow the example of settlement on July 22 in New town that day in honor of the manifesto PKWN attributable renamed the festival that day ... Mary Magdalene, the patron of the parish.
President IPN fights with other dates with peerelowskiego calendar. Demanded For example, the authorities formal Lubuskie Drezdenko street names January 1929. "Victory Day" is, as interpreted by the IPN, memories of another time. - "Seizure of Polish territory by the Red Army, even though it meant the end of German occupation, he also initiated a new period of the martyrdom of the Polish nation, marked by hundreds of thousands murdered, imprisoned and sent to concentration camps on Polish territory and the Soviet Union" - he urged in a letter Janusz Kurtyka. Green Mountain Włodarzom pointed out that tolerates a May 9, which is "a form of glorification propaganda and policies of Joseph Stalin, who inflicted on the essential dimension of Polish independence. " On that day, the President recommends that ... the Europe Day celebration.
IPN their, their frontier. In Zary feast of "liberation" by Soviet troops is celebrated with great solemnity. The garrison church held a mass for the intention of the inhabitants, then at the cemetery of Red Army soldiers represented by the mayor and the commander of a military unit wreaths. The West Pomeranian Boleszkowicach anniversary of "liberation" by the Army Red celebrates along with Senior Day. - "He was a fitting word - dedicated to the liberators of the capital's municipality" - reported "Gazeta Lubuska.
