Bierut Decrees is a German name

The name isn't probably used in English language academic texts. Why does Germany write history of Poland formerly destroied by Germans?Xx236 (talk) 06:48, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is used - e.g. [1] [2]. Icewhiz (talk) 07:05, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Icewhiz, please verify what you quote. Xx236 (talk) 07:17, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I did verify. Note the multiple hits in - gscholar. It definitely is used in English, and is named after Bolesław Bierut - so I can't quite see why this is German (though yes, it is used in German too). Is there a term that is more often used in English? Icewhiz (talk) 09:51, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Icewhiz, don't. You are more ignorant than I have ever declared.Xx236 (talk) 10:12, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am unsure if it is a common name. Let's hear suggestions for alternate names to move this to? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:52, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Still unsourced known as the Bierut Decrees. ~Know by whom? The name has beem coined by German nationalists (expellees) on the basis of false analogy to Czechoslovak Beneš decrees.Xx236 (talk) 06:19, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unlike in most other Eastern Bloc countries, only about a third of Polish agriculture became nationalized

Do you mean the land reform or the whole Communist period? Almost all common farms were dissolved around 1956, only the state ones survived..Xx236 (talk) 07:21, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Destruction of landed gentry (ziemiaństwo)

The Gentry was destroied during and after the war. Land owners were expelled from their homes (manors). Their libraries and art collections were nationalized or destoried. Parks were destroied.Xx236 (talk) 07:24, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

laws passed by the Polish communist government

The laws were passed by the KRN, a quasi-parliament, not by the government. The PM was Edward Osóbka-Morawski .Xx236 (talk) 07:51, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
