Poland is almost like Russia

Forums dedicated to Polish culture and travel often feature some rather controversial topics about Poles, asking why they “don’t smile” or “why Poles sound so sad.” Often, entire articles seem to paint Poland in a rather gloomy light, such as “Poland, Where Happiness Goes To Die.” That same article cites Professor Philip Zimbardo, a world-renowned social psychologist from Stanford University, who said about Poland: “Each time I come here, I feel like I’m in a mental institution. Nobody smiles, and people mutter instead of responding.”
