I disagree.Poles are very different then the rest of Europe in many ways. There is highly developed national-ethnic identity(unlike Spain for example), highly religious and conservative belief, religion and nationality are connected by centuries of being used as means to protect oneself, there is high resistance to secularisation, very much symphaty for USA,and Polish national culture equals the culture of nobility-unlike in other states where national culture was the result of other classes, in Poland its the result of nobility which due to high numbers dominated the society.no polish exceptionnality
Historically Poland was different from other countries as well:
http://www.citinet.n...lska_11_f2.html
The szlachta made up nearly ten per cent of the population. Since they extended from the top to the bottom of economic scale, and right across the board in religion and culture, they represented a wider cross-section as well as a greater percentage of the population than any enfranchised class in any European country until the nineteenth century. To be a member of the szlachta was like being a Roman Citizen. The szlachta were the nation, the populus Romanus, while the rest of the people inhabiting the area were the plebs, who did not count politically.
While the Habsburgs of Austria, the Bourbons of France, the Tudors of England, and every other ruling house of Europe strove to impose centralized autocratic government, ideological unity and increasing control of the individual through a growing bureaucracy, Poland alone of the major states took the opposite course. The Poles had made an article of faith of the principle that all government is undesirable, and strong government is strongly undesirable. This belief was not based on some kind of inherent love of chaos, but on a deeply felt conviction that one man had no right to tell another what to do, and that the quality of life was impaired by unnecessary administrative superstructure.
As it withdrew more and more into this world it had created, Polish society appeared increasingly exotic to other Europeans.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in Astana, Kazakhstan, He will present a plan for cooperation between Kazakhstan and RosAtom at the St. Petersburg summit of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) on 25 January and then go to Kyiv for talks on cooperation with Ukraine. Russia inherited about 80 percent of the nuclear industry of the Soviet Union but has only about half of the uranium ore it needs to make fuel to power it. RosAtom wants to buy uranium from Kazakhstan, which seeks Russian money to finance new nuclear power stations. http://www.rferl.org...sline/1-rus.asp

Wrong again. Voting rights had only the landlords, the owners of the land..
Jews were forbidden to have land, in Poland the same like in
Russia, . therefore Jews stayed in trade, particularly of alcohol and it brought to them meaningful amount of money.
