Successful Polish private farmer, 1980

[u/dawidlijewski]

Agriculture was never collectivized in communist Poland, so private farms could exist. Those lucky enough to have fertile soil and good market connections could earn very good money through hard work and smart investment decisions. This farmer owns a house, a car, a dishwasher, and a color TV, and could even afford vacations in Hungary.

And what's wrong with you? It's my family tragedy and you joking around, are you nuts?

Ale to nie ja zacząłem opowiadać legendę rodzinną, która przez dekady obrosła w dodatkowe szczegóły, zamiast historii z tamtych czasów.

You know, I haven't started this conversation with blabbing fairytales about witchcraft and church.
