86th Anniversary Of The Soviet Union's Aggression On Poland In Krakow

In Krakow, Poland, on September 17, 2025, Polish Army soldiers march to Father General Adam Studzinski Square during the commemoration of the 86th anniversary of the Soviet Union's aggression against Poland. The Soviet Union joins military operations on the side of Nazi Germany and, without declaring war, invades Poland on September 17, 1939, thus fulfilling the protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. The Soviet murders of Polish officers and intelligentsia begin at that time. (Photo by Klaudia Radecka/NurPhoto)
