In 1920 the Polish victory over Soviet Russia prevented the Bolshevik revolution from spreading westwards. Just how important was the Battle of Warsaw?
In his report, John Beauchamp presents a look at past and present legacy of the event, with comments from historians Michał Mackiewicz and Janusz Cisek, and Krzysztof Jaraczewski, the grandson of Marshal Pilsudski.
