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

Soldiers of the Polish Army participate in the commemoration of the 86th anniversary of the Soviet Union's aggression against Poland at 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)
