The Soviet-Polish War (February 1919 – March 1921): The “Miracle on the Vistula”

Summary/Abstract: The Soviet-Polish war of February 1919 – March 1921 determined the setting of the borders between Soviet Russia and the second Polish Republic, after the end of World War I. In the heroic fought in the summer of 1920 against the Bolshevik forces, the Poles won one of the most brilliant victories ever, known as the “miracle on the Vistula.” It played a decisive role in curbing the advance of Communism towards Europe and virtually saved the continent’s countries from the “red peril.” For the humiliating defeat inflicted on the Red Army in the 1920 war, Soviet dictator I.V. Stalin would take revenge against the Poles in the spring of 1940, when at Katyn and in other spots the NKVD executed a large part of the Polish military and civilian elite.
