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

Participants in the commemoration of the 86th anniversary of the Soviet Union's aggression on Poland march to Father General Adam Studzinski Square in Krakow, Poland, on September 17, 2025. 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)
