Talk:Sikorski–Mayski agreement

Latest comment: 2 years ago by Paine Ellsworth in topic Requested move 16 December 2021

What was signed on 30th July 1941?

edit

In “The Pattern of Soviet Domination” by Stanislaw Mikolajczyk it states on page 17 “In the pact which Sikorski signed with Maisky in London on July 30, 1941, the Russians renounced the territorial changes in Poland previously recognised in the Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939.” Further it states Russia agreed to restore diplomatic relations, form a Polish army in USSR and “amnesty” for Polish citizens.

Also in "The Fate of Poles in the USSR 1939~1989" by Tomasz Piesakowski it states on page 73 "On 30 July, 1941, after the ratification of the Polish-Soviet agreement known as the Sikorski-Maisky agreement". The name is spell slightly different but appears to support a different date for this agreement. Can anyone comment on these issues? Thanks. Jniech (talk) 11:35, 31 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

In “Poland in the Second World War” by Jozef Garlinski page 106-110 deal with the pact. Again this book supports earlier talks and a signing on 30th July. Unless someone puts references supporting the existing dates, I plan to rewrite using the material I have including the earlier dates. Jniech (talk) 16:52, 27 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

As previous informed, I have altered the article to use different dates. As I still do not understand the existing dates I have used 10 references to support the new dates. Let me know if you disagree. I plan to expand the article soon but want to check my initial contribution is alright with everyone Jniech (talk) 05:14, 15 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

The article I think is now in-line with the books I have read. I would like to expand the article slightly, reference up a few things and reword parts but it basically matches my understanding of the events. Does anyone disagree with the changes I have made? I won’t do any major edits for a week to see what the other editors of the article think. Jniech (talk) 13:28, 15 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sadly I do not know Russia. I will see if I can find a a friend willing to translate. Is there anything about the Sikorski-Mayski Agreement? Even if not I would love to know what it says. Thanks for the links. Jniech (talk) 22:14, 2 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
