The Polish nobles considered themselves to be the descendants of the Sarmatian warriors who subjugated the slavs living in the area.
So according to this belief, the slazchta was ethnically distinct from the polish peasants, who were inferior slavs

Why don’t poles thank Russians for freeing them from the nobility

Many such cases, more pastoral peoples tend to end up the ruling class over agrarian peasants due to their high protein diets and the use of horses in warfare, likewise for thalassocrats, except with their naval power and the benefits of trade.

The Romans were reputed to not be true Latins, rather a band of foreign mercenaries, likely of Greek origin stemming from Greek colonies to the south, though there may have been some Carthaginian influence.

The British Empire in turn was a thalassocracy and one of the most extreme examples of a tiny foreign ruling class where some 1200 civil servants ruled 300 million Indians with similar proportions in other dominions.

They have a massive victim complex even thought they are assholes.
They invaded Mother Russia like cowards during the Time of Troubles but Russchads got their revenge during the Deluge.

IIRC the situation in the areas annexed by the russian empire, not much changed for the commoners.
But the commoners living in areas annexed by Prussia and Austria welcomed the change and became loyal to their new masters. The only people who complained about the annexation were the nobles because they were mad they couldn't treat the peasants as slaves anymore. IIRC This is also why so many polish uprisings failed. Most of the time the rebelions were led by members of the szlachta and they weren't able to get widespread support from the commoners. After all why would the peasants want to fight and die for people who despised them and wanted them to become slaves again?
This started changing after the spread of nationalism when the concept of Polishness stopped being limited to members of the Szlachta

>>18326930
Not exactly. The medieval poles also committed several pogroms on the Germans living in Poland during the 14th century, one of them even led by their king, so thet had wider definition of a Polish person than just "a noble".

Austria was also shit. In the last decades of the empire the only reason it was well regarded was because they gave so many concessions to mobility and the landowners that the latter considered it heaven.

>>18327022
IIRC this under Joseph II. the szlachta lost many of their privileges and the peasants gained new rights. But after some time, I don't remember when, the austrians gave the polish landowners more privileges to appease them.

>>18326930
This concept was common until more modern times, and maybe still exist among super wealthy, nobelmen from different nationality and sometimes even cultures considered themselves closer than to commoners of the same nationality.
They usually shared a common elite culture, court life and education.

about ruthenia and ruthenians

>>18326947
You left out the most important part of the sarmatyzm larp: that the szlachta claimed these people they descended from were Iranians. They pretended they were aryan Persians, thats why they had the sabers and the mustaches and the parachute pants, they thought they were something like pre-islamic Turks. Where they got this from, I have no idea

Wow, that is legit messed up

There were many weird things happening during his reign like peasants running away to still-existing Poland to become serfs again.

>high protein diets
>what is cattle, dairy, eggs, fish, nuts, legumes

What is this retarded absolutist idea that only pastoralists had access to meat or protein products ?
