I am Polish, and my great grandfather lived in Russia(a part that used to be a part of Poland before it was annexed), and he was a high ranking official in his town. Because of that reason, the Russian Secret Police took him one day in the very early morning, and executed him. My family was only able to identify him because he did not finish shaving and only shaved half his face, so later on when the mass grave was undug, they found the body with a half shaved face.

Just figured I would share my story, as I'm guessing he was only a decade, if that, older than you were. My parents also grew up in Soviet Union controlled Poland and have tons of stories about it.

You're a strong man for enduring what you have, and have my utmost respect.

Edit: For those interested, he was from Stołowacz, a village very close to Bielsk Podlaski. It is now a part of Poland again, thankfully. He was taken away and shot somewhere else. And was shot for being a sołtys, which is pretty much a "village leader", like what a mayor would be for a larger town.

From Wikipedia, about Bielsk Podlaski, the town right next to Stołowacz, and the place many people would say they are from since there were so many villages in Poland that it would just be easier to state the larger area. It was either during the 1939 invasion or when it was captured by the Soviets again in 1944, that this happened. I'm sorry it doesn't have good grammar and no sources, as I'm sure it's pretty hard to find sources on what happened in a small town back then, and this part of the article could have been written by a local:

During the 1939 Invasion of Poland, the town was captured by the Wehrmacht, which on September 23 handed it over to the Soviets, who remained here until June 23, 1941, forcibly sending thousands to Siberia. In 1941 - 1944, the town was occupied by the Third Reich. Germans murder its Jewish minority, and in a nearby forest kill app. 800 Poles. Bielsk was captured by the Red Army on July 30, 1944.

Also, I got the ages wrong. As I am 20, and my grandfather(his son) is going to be 98 in September, that would put my great grandfather a couple of decades older than Mr. Konstantin, since even my grandfather was 23 during the invasion of Poland(1939), making his father probably in his 40s, maybe late 30's depending how early they had my grandfather(as was common back then).

It was sickening what they did to every day people, and I'm glad people like you have survived to tell your story and let the truth out. It means a lot that you saw this and responded. Thank you.

Make a throw away, use the same proof he used for this account. Tons of celebrities apparently use Reddit with their main accounts but when they do an AMA, they make a special account for it. He'd basically do the same thing by posting on FB saying "hey I'm doing a Reddit AMA, my username is u/WhateverHisThrowawayIs". He done goofed or just doesn't give a fuck. I'd say the first because I doubt he'd want all his IRL friends knowing he is a cuckold.

When I was selling my car I had someone try to pull this on me (but I guess it was the reverse since I was the seller). They negotiated down the price on Facebook and I just wanted to get rid of the car so we agreed on that price and that it was genuinely the lowest I was going.

The woman shows up and test drives the car, loves it. She has her boyfriend and his friend show up to "inspect" it. They drove it around the block as well. They get out and say "it's good but we'll have to buy it for $100 lower to help cover any repair costs". I was like "No, I already went down on the price and that's the lowest I'll go". They said alright and gave me back the keys and pretended to turn around. Took like two steps, then awkwardly stopped and quietly asked the woman whether she really wanted the car, and then said they'll take it. Obviously they had the amount in full on them and just tried to save themselves some extra money.

I get it's a part of negotiating but it's so annoying when people try to play chicken with the price and bluff their way to a lower price. I respect negotiating until we agree on a price, but once we agree I'm not budging from that. You agreed on price X. Pay me X money or stop wasting my time.
