But that's not even Russian architecture... Most of what you've showed is from the time of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, before the partitions of Poland and Russian occupation.

At least you knew who Nicolaus Copernicus is, which not all tourists know, well that's a matter of education - bravo. Walking around Warsaw, tourists mainly admire the architecture, but for Poles it has a different meaning knowing what happened here during World War II. Some tourists don't even realize that when looking at historic buildings they are looking at replicas because Warsaw was razed to the ground, on Hitler's orders in revenge for the Poles organizing an armed uprising against the Germans. Warsaw was reconstructed from old photos, films and even paintings. It is said that Warsaw rose like a phoenix from the ashes. A beautiful book about the Warsaw Uprising was written by the Scottish writer Norman Davies - it is worth reading because in Western Europe very little is said about it and it is often confused with the uprising in the Warsaw Jewish ghetto, it is worth reading, you will be shocked.

This isn't russian architecture, has nothing to do with russian invasions.

@@Louie_Hopkins it's OK no offense taken. It's not disdain for Russia it's just factually wrong. Most polish town squares represent inspirations from Italian renessaince and Gothic period as well as German influences. Not any bit russian.
