What about 1.5m Polish forces? They were fought by 30 soviet division (180k soldiers), you say?
If soviets could defeat them being in ratio 1:8, it's come as no suprise that Western world could not rely on IIRC and could not consider polish forses as something which could be a serious ally against commies.

I have written from memory and additionally did a typo - 0,5m. I cannot find exact numbers at the moment but remember the number does include all the people involved, not only armed soldiers (at least 80k). There was just not enough weapons available, while Soviets had aviation and tanks. Also, to the Soviet units, a number 'Polish' ones must be added, the latter consisting of Polish soldiers and Soviet officers.

Anyway, never heard about any serious fighting with anti-soviet polish forces... Are you dreaming?

Oh, that is not my problem. You apparently have not heard about German-Soviet cooperation that started WWII, as well.
There were several large (as for partisans) clashes like attack on Soviet concentration camp at Rembertów.

the scale of possible Ukranian opposition and other nationalists movements is grossly overestimated (as always).

Or underestimated. Considering number of ex-Soviet volunteers in the German army and the fact the last partisan units survived well into 1950s (without external support), a massive support in Baltic states and Western Ukraine was to be much expected.
