Re: Stanislaw, Skalski
I cannot say if there were official orders or if it went inofficially but there was a strong propaganda action taken, and new language introduced. Soviet Union was replaced by a literary translation, Union of Councils, etc. Numerous events on friendship and gratitude were held, and there are still some people who would like to continue the 'tradition'.
It seems it would not help much, as counterintelligence files are full of notes on 'negative approach'. A lot of effort was put to brainwash the people.
In regard of war period, plenty of Soviets did not like the idea of becoming temporary Poles, and opposed it. The term Soviet seems appropriate indeed, as there were representatives of many nations, I recall one Estonian commander being liked by his Polish subordinates, because 'he also hated Ruskies'.
