John III Sobieski - Polish Nemesis Of The Ottoman Empire
John III Sobieski (Polish: Jan III Sobieski, Lithuanian: Jonas Sobieskis; 17 August 1629 -- 17 June 1696) was one of the most notable monarchs of the Polish--Lithuanian Commonwealth, from 1674 until his death King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. Sobieski's 22-year-reign was marked by a period of the Commonwealth's stabilization, much needed after the turmoil of the Deluge and Khmelnytsky Uprising. Popular among his subjects, he was an able military commander, most famous for the victory over the Turks in the 1683 Battle of Vienna. Following his victories over the Ottoman Empire, he was called by the Turks the Lion of Lechistan and held as the saviour of European Christendom by the pope
John Sobieski was born on 17 August 1629 in Olesko, a small town near Lwów in Galicia, now Ukraine, then part of the Ruthenian Voivodeship in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to a notable noble family de Sobieszyn Sobieski of Janina coat of arms. His father, Jakub Sobieski, was the Voivode of Ruthenia and Castellan of Kraków; his mother, Zofia Teofillia Daniłowicz was a granddaughter of Hetman Stanisław Żółkiewski. John Sobieski spent his childhood in Żółkwia. After graduating from the Nowodworski College in Kraków in 1643, young John Sobieski then graduated from the philosophical faculty of the Jagiellonian University in 1646. After finishing his studies, together with his brother Marek Sobieski, John left for western Europe, where he spent more than two years travelling. They visited Leipzig, Antwerp, Paris, London, Leiden and Hague. During that time he met influential contemporary figures such as Louis II de Bourbon, Charles II of England and William II, Prince of Orange, and learnt French, German and Italian, in addition to Latin.
Both brothers returned to the Commonwealth in 1648, upon receiving the news of the death of king Władysław IV Waza and the hostilities of the Khmelnytsky Uprising, volunteered for the army. They both fought in the siege of Zamość. They founded and commanded their own banners (chorągiew) of cavalry (one light, cossack, and one heavy, of Polish hussars). Soon the fortunes of war separated the brothers. In 1649 Jakub fought in the Battle of Zboriv. In 1652 Marek died in Tatar captivity after his capture at the Battle of Batoh. John was promoted to the rank of pułkownik and fought with distinction in the Battle of Berestechko. A promising commander, John was sent by King John II Casimir to Istanbul in the Ottoman Empire as one of the envoys in a diplomatic mission of Mikołaj Bieganowski. There, Sobieski learnt the Tatar language and the Turkish language and studied Turkish military traditions and tactics. It is likely he participated as part of the briefly allied Polish-Tatar forces in the 1655 Battle of Okhmativ.
After the start of the Swedish invasion of Poland known as The Deluge, John Sobieski was among the Greater Polish regiments led by Krzysztof Opaliński, Palatine of Poznań which capitulated at Ujście, and swore allegiance to King Charles X Gustav of Sweden. However, around late March 1656 he abandoned their side, returning to the side of Polish king Jan Kazimierz Waza, enlisting under the command of hetmans Stefan Czarniecki and Jerzy Sebastian Lubomirski.
During the three-day long battle of Warsaw of 1656, Sobieski's command of a 2,000-man strong regiment of Tatar cavalry earnt him promotion to the title of Lord Standard-Bearer of the Crown. A strong supporter of the French faction, Sobieski remained loyal to the King during the infamous Lubomirski Rebellion, which further helped his military career. In 1665 he married Marie Casimire Louise de la Grange d'Arquien and was promoted to the rank of Grand Marshal of the Crown, and the following year, to the rank of Field Hetman of the Crown. In 1667 he achieved another great victory over the Cossacks and their Tatar allies in the Battle of Podhajce during the Polish--Cossack--Tatar War (1666--71). On 5 February 1668, by now a famed and esteemed commander, he achieved the rank of Grand Hetman of the Crown, the highest military rank in the Polish--Lithuanian Commonwealth, and thereby the de facto commander-in-chief of the entire Polish Army.
On 11 November 1673, during the Polish--Ottoman War (1672--76), Sobieski added yet another major victory to his list, this time defeating the Turks in the battle of Chocim and capturing the fortress located there. The news of the battle coincided with the news of the death of Michael I, King of Poland, who had died the day before the battle. This made Sobieski one of the most leading figures in the state, and on 19 May the following year, he was elected as monarch of the Commonwealth. His candidacy was almost universally supported, with only a dozen or so members of the diet opposing him. Among the most notable backers of his candidacy was his wife. Jan Sobieski was crowned Jan III 2 February 1676.

St. John's Archcathedral, Warsaw, Masovian, Poland, Europe
St. John's Archcathedral in Warsaw is a Catholic church in Warsaw's Old Town. St. John's stands immediately adjacent to Warsaw's Jesuit church, and is one of the oldest churches in the city and the main church of the Warsaw archdiocese. It is one of three cathedrals in Warsaw, but the only one which is also an archcathedral. St. John's Archcathedral is one of Poland's national pantheons. Along with the city, the church has been listed by UNESCO as of cultural significance. Originally built in the 14th century in Masovian Gothic style, the Cathedral served as a coronation and burial site for numerous Dukes of Masovia. The Archcathedral was connected with the Royal Castle (Zamek Królewski w Warszawie) by an elevated 80-meter-long corridor that had been built by Queen Anna Jagiellonka in the late 16th century and extended in the 1620s after Michał Piekarski's failed 1620 attempt to assassinate King of Poland Sigismund III in front of the Cathedral. After the resolution of the Constitution of May 3, 1791, at the end of the session at the Royal Castle, King Stanisław August Poniatowski went to the Cathedral of St. John to repeat the Oath of the Constitution in front of the Altar, in the face of God. Also the Marshals of the Great Sejm were carried to the Archathedral on the shoulders of the enthusiastic deputies of the Sejm. The church was rebuilt several times, most notably in the 19th century, it was preserved until World War II as an example of English Gothic Revival. In 1944, during the Warsaw Uprising the Cathedral was a place of struggle between insurgents and advancing German army. The Germans managed to induct a tank loaded with explosives into the Cathedral, a huge explosion destroyed large part of the building. After the collapse of the Uprising German Vernichtungskommando (Destruction Detachment) drilled holes into the walls for explosives and blow up the Cathedral destroying 90% of its walls. Leveled during the Warsaw Uprising (August--October 1944), it was rebuilt after the war. The exterior reconstruction is based on the 14th-century church's presumed appearance (according to an early-17th-century Hogenberg illustration and a 1627 Abraham Boot drawing), not on its prewar appearance. The profuse Early Baroque decoration inside from the beginning of the 17th century and magnificent painting on the main altar by Palma il Giovane depicting Virgin and Child with St. John the Baptist and St. Stanisław were destroyed in German bombing of the church on August 17, 1944. The remains of the church were blown up by the Germans in November 1944. Only one wall that somehow managed to survive was all that was left of the six hundred year old edifice. This devastation of a Polish national monument was a part of the Planned destruction of Warsaw, which had officially begun after the collapse of the Warsaw Uprising. The painting of the Virgin and Child.. was created in 1618 for King Sigismund III Vasa especially to place on the central altar of the St. John's Cathedral. As a masterpiece it was confiscated on Napoleon's order and transported to Paris. Retrieved by Warsaw authorities in 1820s after the Congress of Vienna. It survived many wars and the bombing of Warsaw since it was created, but did not survive the last one during World War II. Among the sculptures lost due to German bombardment the most worh mentioning was a marble bust of Jan Franciszek Bieliński, voivode of Malbork (died 1685), carved by Jean-Joseph Vinache. The interior reconstruction design considerably differed from the pre-war Cathedral, taking it back in time to its raw Gothic look, because very little of the cathedral's original furnishings has been preserved. The Cathedral is a three-nave building, two aisles are the same height as the main nave. On the right side from the front a belfry is situated, a passage to Dziekania Street is situated underneath it. There is a pulpit from 1959, designed by Józef Trenarowski and stalls which are a replica of the destroyed baroque ones, founded by the king John III Sobieski. Moreover, there are many chapels, gravestones and epitaphs in the Cathedral. All left aisle is filled with numerous chapels. They are, in turn, from main altar: Baryczka Chapel, it ends the left aisle (it contains a wooden crucifix, regarded as the most precious element of the cathedral's furnishings; it was brought from Nuremberg in 1539 by the merchant Jerzy Baryczka).

Chopin Statue, Warsaw, planned destroyed by Germany, restored by Polish People's Republic 1958
During the occupation of May 31, 1940, at the behest of governor Hans Frank , Chopin's monument was blown up by the Germans and cut into smaller pieces by burners.
According to local legend, the next day a handwritten sign was found at the site which read: I don’t know who destroyed me, but I know why: so that I won’t play the funeral march for your leader.
The scrap metal obtained in this way was used as a raw material for industrial production. The Germans also tried to destroy all copies of the monument kept in Polish museums. One of the employees of the Wielkopolska Museum in Poznan managed to hide a copy of the monument's head in the basement. The Germans, however, destroyed all the plaster replicas and a wooden copy of the sculpture on a scale of 1: 2, which was handed over to the Poznań museum by the author himself.
Chopin's monument was the first (according to other sources, the second, after the monument of Ignacy Mościcki ) a monument destroyed by the Germans in occupied Warsaw . Apart from the negative attitude towards the composer's work, other probable reasons for the destruction of the monument were its location in the German quarter, the location near Belweder (the official residence of Hans Frank during his visits to Warsaw ) and the action of collecting scrap metal for the needs of the armaments industry at that time. Third Reich . According to information obtained by the Polish employees of the Municipal Board from the German authorities, the decision to destroy was to be influenced by the alleged ugliness of the monument.
As a result of the activities of the Germans, the reconstruction of Wacław Szymanowski's work after the war posed many difficulties. Searches were made for replicas and preserved copies of the monument that could serve as a model for its reproduction. In 1946, Chopin's head was found in the State Refining and Processing Plant in Wrocław. It turned out, however, that it was not the head from the monument in Łazienki, but one of the test casts on a much smaller scale. The original cast was completely melted down .
A complete copy of the whole monument was found only during the clearing of the destroyed Szymanowski's house in Mokotów . Based on this copy, an attempt was made to make a faithful replica of the original. In 1946, a group of sculptors under the direction of Władysław Wasiewicz made a model of the monument's cast using the author's model (scale 1:10), wooden sculpture of the composer's head by Władysław Szymanowski, photogrammetry made by Leon Suzin and pre-war photographs [10] . The monument was cast in a cooperative Bronze Decorative (formerly the Łopieńscy Brothers ).
The reconstructed monument was unveiled again on May 11, 1958.
On the plinth there is an inscription with the content The statue of Fryderyk Chopin, destroyed and seized by the Germans on May 31, 1940, will be rebuilt by the Nation. 17-X-1946. Another inscription with the date of unveiling informs that the monument was rebuilt from the contributions of the Social Fund for Reconstruction of the Capital . Engravings from Konrad Wallenrod Adam Mickiewicz were also engraved :
The flame will figure out the painted story,
Swords of the sword are devastated by thieves,
The song escapes ...
The system of lawns and alleys around the monument was designed by Longin Majdecki. Geometric rebates are planted with pink bushes. Around the monument, there are mostly red oaks , as well as maples and snow-white shrubs. The entire garden setting with amphitheater-planted trees was supposed to resemble a concert hall .
From 1959 from May to September, each Sunday at the monument, two concerts of Chopin's music are held, organized by the Towarzystwo im. Fryderyk Chopin and Stołeczna Estrada. The shape of the piano and piano canopy, which is set up next to the piano, refers to the shape of the concert shell of the Sydney Opera .
Monument is the only example of Art Nouveau in monumental architecture in Warsaw
The idea to commemorate Fryderyk Chopin appeared among the members of the Warsaw Musical Society in 1876, but in contemporary political conditions it could not be realized . The situation changed in 1901, when the Polish opera singer Adelaide Bolska received the oral consent of Tsar Nicholas II for the erection of the monument, and the general Governor of Warsaw gave permission to establish on January 1, 1902 the Committee for the Construction of the Chopin Monument in Warsaw.
The results of the competition provoked public discussion and criticized part of the press. The work selected in the competition also had to be approved by the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg , which ruled that (...) In May 1914 a contract was signed for the monument with the French company Ancciennes Fonderies Thiebaut Fréres belonging to Renè Fulda. The monument was unveiled on November 14, 1926

Nuremberg for Slaughterers
On the 1st of September 1939 Poland was attacked by the Germans who were
subsequently punished for their actions during the Nuremberg trials. However,
another enemy that attacked Poland on the 17th of September was never
brought to justice for its crimes. Not only did the Red Army slaughter thousands
of Polish citizens, but the entire communist system has enslaved the Polish nation
for years.
During the Soviet occupation the independent thinking of the Polish citizens was
forced to cease to exist due to constant intimidation, torture and abolishment of
any slightest demonstration of activism and patriotism. Some Polish people who
used to collaborate with the deadly communist system back in the days, are
enjoying a luxurious lifestyle now in the democratic Poland and are laughing in
the faces of all Polish patriots and war veterans.
Wojciech Jaruzelski, the governor-general, on 13th of December 1981
declared the martial law, causing the death of hundreds of Polish workers and
patriots. On the same day in London there was a Solidarity with Solidarity
demonstration organised in order to show sympathy and support for the Polish
people back in the home country.
General-governor Jaruzelski has never been brought to justice, likewise many
other Stalinist judges and prosecutors who had sentenced Polish patriots for
death. For them, there was never a Nuremberg Trial.
We believe that anyone who has dared depriving others of their freedom should
face justice and it is our, Polish citizens' duty to remember our heroes fighting
for our country's freedom and to remind the world that the crimes of their
slaughterers demand just punishment.
We demand a Nuremberg for Communism!
#Варшава #достопримечательности #Museum of King John III's Palace in Wilanów
Дата основания 1696
Строительство 1677—1698 годы
Вилянувский дворец — дворец и соседствующий с ним сад в районе Вилянув на юго-восточной окраине современной Варшавы. Построен в 1677—1698 Августином Лоцци для короля Яна Собеского. Является шедевром барокко, а также предметом национальной гордости Польши.
Строился в качестве загородной резиденции короля Речи Посполитой в XVII веке. Несмотря на то, что в последующие два столетия дворец достраивался и дополнялся новыми интерьерами и помещениями, он считается хорошо сохранившимся памятником архитектуры того времени. Обрамлённый обширным садом
This richly decorated building constructed with a flourish, along with the surrounding park, survived almost unchanged from the seventeenth century to the present day, despite two world wars which swept through Poland. From the architectural point of view, the Baroque palace is a combination of sub-Parisian Versailles, an Italian garden villa and a typical Polish estate manor. John III Sobieski decided to give it a sweeping form after the victory which he won in the Battle of Vienna in 1683. The palace became the magnificent residence of the ruler, who stopped the Turkish conquest of Europe. Rich interior of the building is a tribute to the military successes of the king and his family and to the monarch's beloved wife, Marie Casimire, called Marysieńka.
After the death of King Sobieski, the palace was inhabited by other well-known aristocratic families: the Sieniawskis, the Czartoryskis, the Potockis and the Branickis, and numerous upgrades were supervised by the best architects. The last owner, Stanisław Kostka Potocki, opened here the first public museum in Poland in 1805. Now, these collections are the most valuable part of the Museum of King John III's Palace in Wilanów. It includes, among others, busts of ancient emperors, battle scenes, trophies and statues of ancient gods. Royal portraits, frescos and paintings of all schools of European painting are delightful.

WARSAW, VISITING the TOMB of the UNKNOWN SOLDIER ????️ (POLAND)
SUBSCRIBE!! - Let's visit The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which is a monument in Warsaw, Poland, dedicated to the unknown soldiers who have given their lives for Poland. It is one of many such national tombs of unknowns that were erected after World War I, and the most important such monument in Poland.
The monument, located at Piłsudski Square, is the only surviving part of the Saxon Palace that occupied the spot until World War II. Since 2 November 1925 the tomb houses the unidentified body of a young soldier who fell during the Defence of Lwów. Since then, earth from numerous battlefields where Polish soldiers have fought has been added to the urns housed in the surviving pillars of the Saxon Palace.
The Tomb is constantly lit by an eternal flame and assisted by a guard post by the Representative Company of the Polish Army. It is there that most official military commemorations take place in Poland and where foreign representatives lay wreaths when visiting Poland. The changing of the guard takes place on the hour of every hour daily and this happens 365 days a year.

POLAND TRAVELOGUE 1933 KRAKOW, KATOWICE, GDANSK, WARSAW 56554
This 1933 short film, “A Flying Visit to Poland,” produced by the Gdynia-America Line, gives an overview of visiting Poland, touching on many of Poland’s places of interest. The film begins in Krakow (or Kracow) with ancient city’s highlights: the Trumpeter of Krakow (01:00); St. Mary’s Church (01:17); the Wawel, a national shrine also referred to as Poland’s tower of London (01:23); the old cobbled streets of Krakow (01:27); the Barbican, Krakow’s old circular fort (01:34); and an ancient chapel carved out of salt at the entrance of the Wieliczka salt mines (1:40). The next stop on the tour is Katowice (02:05), an industrial city dubbed the Pittsburg of Poland. With its massive iron and steel industry (02:10), it provides the steel needed to build Poland’s own railroad equipment and locomotives (02:25), as well as Poland’s own bridges (02:33). Coal is another major resource harvested from Katowice and the larger Silesian province (02:40). Lumber is another major resource of Poland, and lumberjacks chop trees down (03:12) and then floated downriver (03:29) to Gdansk and Gdynia for export; Poland is also an oil producer (03:40). The film then turns to coastal city of Gdynia (03:59). The city quickly grew into a modern city with its massive harbor (04:14). The film’s next stop is Czestochowa (04:35), home to the famous Jasna Gora monastery and its international religious procession celebrating the feast day of Our Lady of Czestochowa (04:41). Religious processions occur all over, such as in Lowicz, complete with the national costumes of Poland (05:02). The film then looks at rural society (05:28), dominated by agriculture. Farmers grow and harvest a number of different crops and, accordingly, celebrate the Harvest Festival (05:48). Part of that entails presenting part of the harvest to President Ignacy Moscicki (05:55). The film then shows a traditional wedding ceremony with Polish customs (06:10), followed by traditional Polish dancing (06:55). The viewer is then taken to Warsaw (07:28), home to the Opera House in Theatre Square (07:44), the Prince Poniatowski Bridge (08:00), Czapski Palace featuring the statue of Prince Joseph Poniatowski (08:05), the building of the Ministry of Industry (08:12), the modern architecture of the Polish Printing Office (08:19), the Aviator’s Monument (08:26), and the birthplace of Frederic Chopan (08:37). Next is a trip to Starego Miasta, Warsaw’s medieval marketplace, for a visit to Fukier, Europe’s oldest wine shop and one of the most famous (08:45). Fukier is home to thousands of bottles of wine and vintages that are several centuries old. Next is a stop at the celebrations of the 250th Anniversary of John Sobieski’s victory over the Ottomans at the 1683 Battle of Vienna (09:27), complete with presentations of Poland’s army. Marshal Jozef Pilsudski presides over the festivities (09:54), before returning to Belveder Palace (10:06) where Pilsudski is greeted by children who celebrate his contribution to the creation of modern Poland.
