https://www.dvidshub.net/about/copyright The “new American way of diplomacy” following the Cold War saw the closure of provincial posts around the world I was serving as the country public affairs officer at U.S Embassy Warsaw when officials above my pay grade decided to close our consulate general and associated United States Information Service (USIS) branch post in Poznan The United States had won the Cold War and deserved a peace dividend We could do without a presence in western Poland would be sufficient representation outside the Polish capital the decision seemed penny-wise and pound-foolish given Poland’s role as a pivotal frontline NATO state in the struggle to protect Eastern Europe from Moscow’s push to restore its empire The United States now has 10,000 troops stationed in the country but we have diplomatic posts only in Warsaw and Krakow we have been closing provincial posts in favor of operating from heavily fortified embassy chanceries No doubt this new American way of diplomacy is safer and less costly But it also risks leaving us out of touch with daily life in places like Poland Nor does it help advance our foreign policy goals that the agency charged with leading the effort to understand and influence foreign publics has disappeared into the Department of State The country founded out of a decent respect for the opinions of humankind apparently decided what others think is no longer a priority Information Agency director) famously said that in communication It’s one reason why posts like USIS Poznan had so much to offer: they were closer to the people As Americans once again rethink our country’s role in the world some even question the wisdom of backing friends and allies such as Ukraine we should consider not only what our efforts cost but also what they’re worth What follows is my report at the time—written for USIA World the agency’s house organ—about the value of USIS Poznan and what was lost when this post and others like it were shuttered A small band of Polish civic leaders and American officials did the honors on a cold sunny morning in the courtyard of the building that has housed USIS There were fine speeches by the ambassador The mayor said the Americans had always been there since he was a boy; he hoped they might come back one day not because the difficult times of the past had returned He had in mind a Polish economic boom that would make Americans see value in being on the spot Speaking for the 25 employees of the consulate and USIS Public Affairs Specialist Urszula Dziuba talked with dignity and eloquence about the pride Poles took in representing both America and their fatherland in going to work every day in an office where values like integrity “the more so since it was present in our daily work.” The paradox is that “it is freedom that is now taking the Americans away from us.” as follows: “This building in the years 1959 to 1995 proudly served as the headquarters of the consulate general of the United States of America In the most difficult years of the Polish nation the consulate was a living symbol of the engagement of America in the return of freedom and independence to Poland A grateful nation and government of the United States of America dedicates this plaque to the Polish employees of the consulate who throughout those years faithfully served the cause of Polish-American friendship.” The craftsman who chiseled the handsome plaque refused to accept any payment for his work saying it was his contribution to the Americans who had liberated his father from Buchenwald A Polish military band played the national anthems of the two countries Marines folded the American banner with painstaking care while a shivering crowd stood at attention and tears welled in more than one pair of eyes The consul general handed the flag to the mayor who said it would have a place of honor in the city museum where an exhibit of grainy black and white photos portray the bloody Poznan riots of 1956 when Poles filled the city’s streets and hundreds died demanding “bread and work.” but the official American presence in the city will not totally fade away A “consular agency” will be established in the person of Ms as well as the State and Commerce departments housed in a new home in the central library of Adam Mickiewicz University in the wake of those 1956 riots that were one of the first signs of resistance to the unwanted communist system imposed on Poland and elsewhere in Eastern Europe the USIS staff did what USIS posts do everywhere though with the added complication of authorities who regarded Americans as a hostile element to be watched closely like the martial law years of the early 1980s Polish citizens could deal with the Americans only at their own peril—and they chose to do so many gathered with lit candles outside the consulate gates to show their solidarity Some of the Poles who participated in today’s ceremony found it ironic that the Americans are leaving now that democracy and capitalism are taking root in Poland They’ve learned about America’s budget woes and realize that large budgets are made up of small bits (closing this USIS post saves about $200,000 per year) But many clearly felt saddened and diminished by the decision One of Poland’s first post-communist prime ministers was Hanna Suchocka who had been chosen by USIS Poznan to be an international visitor (IV) years earlier when she was an unknown member of the Poznan University law department Other Poznan IV selections are currently serving as members of Parliament and directors of radio and television stations One alumnus is head of the National Bar Association and another has just published an encyclopedia of American film Field posts have always been better than embassies at spotting talent at an early age One reason why posts like USIS Poznan had so much to offer: they were closer to the people USIS Poznan can claim many other triumphs: the creation of strong bonds between American universities and Polish counterparts in Poznan Visits by jazz greats from Dave Brubeck to Wynton Marsalis and many other cultural presentations belied regime claims that America was a decadent When the first NATO exercise ever on the soil of the former Warsaw Pact was held a few miles outside Poznan in 1994 the 600 or so journalists who parachuted in for the occasion managed largely because USIS Poznan staffers were around to help them and military press officers find everything from telephones to the parade ground The behind-the-scenes work that made “operation cooperative bridge” a public affairs success was typical of the low-key effectiveness of USIS Poznan which began as an outpost of the Cold War but went beyond conflict to form friendships and independence that eventually prevailed in Poland Whatever the future of American relations with western Poland those who served with USIS in Poznan—among them Thomas Carmichael—know their work there mattered Dick Virden is a retired Senior Foreign Service officer His assignments abroad included tours in Poland (twice) He is a graduate of the National War College and served on its faculty

The pro-European government in Warsaw has repeatedly said the Kremlin was waging a hybrid war against the West in retaliation for its support for Ukraine against the ongoing Russian full-scale invasion Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova shot back at the authorities in Warsaw by stating Russia would not hesitate in its response get ready," Zakharova told the state-run news agency Tass Three Polish consulates remain open in Russia: in Kaliningrad have been temporarily withdrawn from service and returned to the depot The decision was made on an emergency basis after onboard diagnostic systems detected unexpected faults in the vehicles as reported on Polish trade media Transinfo.pl The same operator MPK announced the decision on social media 14 hydrogen buses operated by MPK Poznań, in Poland, have been temporarily withdrawn from service and returned to the depot. The decision was made on an emergency basis after onboard diagnostic systems detected unexpected faults in the vehicles, as reported on Polish trade media Transinfo.pl Solaris shared the more likely reason being poor fuel/hydrogen quality in the afternoon also in the city of Walbrzych some Solaris fuel cell buses were put out of service This move points to hydrogen supplier ORLEN which could mean a wider problem with supply or refuelling infrastructure 378 fuel cell buses were registered all around Europe in 2024 The operator wrote on social media on 3rd March: “We would like to inform you that we were forced to bring back to the depot all hydrogen-powered Solaris Urbino 12 Hydrogen buses in which the on-board computers signalled a breakdown today in the afternoon hours all the withdrawn units were immediately replaced with the remaining available rolling stock We are currently working together with the bus manufacturer and the hydrogen fuel supplier to clarify the cause and resolve the problems which we will keep you informed of.” Solaris states that “the most likely cause of the malfunctions in several hydrogen buses in Poznań is poor fuel/hydrogen quality This is currently being clarified and checked in independent laboratories examining hydrogen samples from the station that supplies the buses in Poznań” layered croissant is irrevocably tied to France the Renaissance-era city of Poznań in western Poland comes alive with an extravaganza starring a very special horseshoe-shaped pastry; the Rogale swiętomarciński While the rest of the country celebrates Poland's Independence from Prussian waves of entertainers ranging from stilt-walkers to pom-pom-waving cheerleaders march through Poznań's streets for the St Martin's Day Parade Around 1.25 million St Martin's croissants are consumed on that day alone – equating to about 250 tonnes of pastry This sweet treat's saintly origins go back to the 19th Century when a local priest encouraged his congregation to help the poor in the spirit of St Martin, who famously cut his cloak in half to share with a beggar A local baker named Józef Melzer is credited with the idea of honouring the pious act by creating a pastry when he prayed to St Martin and dreamed that a white horse entered Poznań and lost its golden shoe he made horseshoe-shaped croissants to give to the city's poor and the tradition quickly spread as more bakers joined in the delicious treat evolved into a regional speciality Despite the physical resemblance and the similar name – rogale means croissant in Polish – the St Martin's croissant is distinct from the classic French pastry Poznań's version is topped with sugar and nuts and the flaky pastry layers ooze with a thick luxurious filling made of white poppy seeds Each croissant weighs around 250g and comes in at belly-busting 1,200 calories the croissants are priced between 15-20 zloty (£2.90-£3.80) per pastry reflecting the time and effort put into creating this legendary food as well as another Polish speciality: the kiełbasa biała parzona a white sausage from the region of Wielkopolska This ruling means that only certified bakeries in Poznań are allowed to produce these croissants under the official name They must also follow strict guidelines to ensure the quality is upheld and apply annually for certification Each baker applying for a certificate must make 24 croissants which are tested to ensure they follow the exact ingredients and method which includes folding the dough to create the required 81 layers before the filling can be added The entire process can take up to six hours with 35 minutes left between each turn to allow the dough to breathe just 84 bakeries were given certification by the Chapter of the Traditional Rogal Swietomarcinski • The new croissant taking Paris by storm • Katarzynki: Poland’s famous gingerbread from Torun • The dumpling that comforts Poland Production goes into overdrive in November with tonnes of ingredients brought in to accommodate the city gobbling up more than a million croissants on parade day One of the Poznań's busiest bakers is Hanna Piskorska, who has six shops in the city and her products are so popular she also sells them online across the world which shows the great trust people have in our croissants," said Piskorska On St Martin's Day, the entire city stops to celebrate the saint and its beloved croissant. The thunderous procession starts at St Martin's Church (step inside to see a carving of the saint slicing off a swathe of his cape to pass to a cold and hungry beggar) and continues along St Martin's Street, ending after a nine-minute walk to the Imperial Castle an impressive monument constructed under German rule in 1910 Not in town on 11 November for the St Martin's Day Parade? Poznan has a Croissant Museum which offers a fun hands on introduction to the pastry and its history the museum has workshops in English and Polish where visitors can try their hand at making a croissant; the one judged to be best is cooked and presented to the maker to eat At the forefront of the procession is St Martin on a white horse portrayed by an actor in colourful historical costume Around him are locals in traditional 18th-Century Bamberg dress – first brought to Poznań by German immigrants – with women donning long flowing colourful clothes and hats made from flowers People carry baskets of croissants through the crowds lining the streets to make sure no one goes hungry and there's even a croissant fair where the 84 approved bakers sell their pastries so people can taste them all and pick their favourites the Mayor of Poznań ceremonially hands over the keys to the city to St Martin symbolising his authority for the day," said Weronika Duszak from the Croissant Museum If you liked this story, sign up for The Essential List newsletter – a handpicked selection of features For more Travel stories from the BBC, follow us on Facebook, X and Instagram.

Poland has ordered the closure of the Russian consulate in the western city of Poznan over Moscow’s alleged “sabotage” attempts inside the country, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said Tuesday “I have information that Russia is behind sabotage attempts in Poland and allied countries I have therefore decided to withdraw my permission for the Russian consulate to operate in Poznan,” Sikorski told reporters Russian staff at the consular mission will be recognized as “undesirable,” Poland’s state news agency PAP quoted him as saying Sikorski cited a court case in the western Polish city of Wroclaw, where a Ukrainian man reportedly confessed to cooperating with Russian intelligence to commit arson attacks at strategic sites as evidence of Russian sabotage over Poland’s support for Ukraine.  Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova promised a “painful response” to Warsaw’s “unfriendly step.” Poland, together with the three other EU member countries in the Baltics, has accused Russia of orchestrating hybrid attacks including “intimidation foreign information manipulation and interference.” Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

The public transport operator in Poznan only ordered nine more vehicles from Solaris in February which will expand the fleet to 34 H2 buses from April 2026 Meanwhile, in Antwerp, Belgium, the five hydrogen buses used by De Lijn have finally been taken out of service. “From an operational and financial perspective, hydrogen is currently not a viable option for public transport in Belgium,” explained Flemish Mobility Minister Annick De Ridder. The bankruptcy of the manufacturer Van Hool was also a decisive factor as technical support and maintenance options were no longer available which would have resulted in potentially significantly higher maintenance and operating costs “Our electrification strategy is focussed on battery-powered vehicles There are no plans to use hydrogen buses,” said De Ridder h2-view.com (Poznan), h2-view.com (Antwerp) I agree with the Privacy policy electrive has been following the development of electric mobility with journalistic passion and expertise since 2013 we offer comprehensive coverage of the highest quality — as a central platform for the rapid development of this technology Polish data center operator Beyond.pl has announced plans to expand its Poznan campus to offer 150MW of IT capacity The current target capacity of the campus stands at 86MW The expansion will see the campus’ target capacity almost double The company is now set to build more space for colocation on the same campus Specifications and details of the new space have not been shared Beyond.pl added the new space will be able to support high-density and AI workloads of up to 130+kW per rack “Our readiness to launch investments in new colocation spaces on the Poznan campus is a response to the dynamically changing needs of the market primarily the demand from companies focused on AI deployments We are currently ready to deliver infrastructure solutions with high power density parameters within 12 months of the customer order and all resources required to quickly deploy space for the most demanding colocation projects,” said Wojciech Stramski The increased campus capacity will also continue to be powered by 100 percent renewable energy The new colocation space will use a combination of cooling technologies In 2018, Beyond.pl announced plans to offer cloud services based on Microsoft Azure Stack out of its Data Center 2 in Poznań The Polish operator has one other facility in Poznan which offers 400 sqm (4,300 sq ft) of IT space the facility has around 1MW of IT capacity The company was established in 2005 as one of the first carrier-neutral data center operators in Poland Data Centre Dynamics Ltd (DCD), 32-38 Saffron Hill, London, EC1N 8FH Email.

Such spaces are 'the cultural centers of LGBTQ+ life and often provide the formative physical space for organizing in the ongoing fight in support of equality' queer spaces are important for facilitating free expression in already-tolerant contexts Poznań, a city in northwest Poland, is an interesting case. In that city, LGBT activists and organisations have successfully established an open and accepting space in the EU’s most homophobic country We can learn some important lessons from this queer-friendly city Poznań's LGBTQ+ community is highly visible NGOs and social venues all prominently represent gay life Local authorities are receptive to the needs of the community; for example by including them in the new education strategy for 2030 But the work of NGOs and activists would be futile if it wasn’t for Poznanians’ cultural receptivity and openness Locals say their mindset is influenced by geographical and mental closeness to Germany My research analysed interviews with queer-identifying individuals featured in Mike Urbaniak’s A Different City: Queer Stories from Poznan (Inny Poznań: Rozmowy z Osobami LGBT+) Interviewees revealed Poznań's strong cultural receptivity The queer-friendly Poznań of today is the result of the city's rapid accommodation of its LGBT community Interviewees spoke about the multiple ways their experiences of queer life in Poznań differs from that of queer friends in other Polish cities Responses tended to focus on three areas that contribute most to the city's queer-friendly feel: venues Soon after the democratic transition of 1989, a gay scene began to emerge in Poznań, with the opening of several queer bars and clubs. However, many LGBT-identifying Poznanians link the real blossoming of queer spaces with the founding of Grupa Stonewall (Stonewall Group) an NGO which advocates for gay rights and supports queer individuals As an interviewee who has lived in the city for about ten years enthused: 'No other city [in Poland] has such well-developed and high-quality LGBT+ infrastructure' said: 'I came out of the closet and became a part of the LGBT+ community so LGBT people cannot take their safety for granted Poznań's vibrant gay scene allows queer people to feel safe to express themselves freely As one interviewee told Urbaniak: 'Nothing bad has ever happened to me here because I am gay which in our country seems like a great achievement Local activism gives Poznań's LGBT community genuine visibility and allows them to express their identities free from discrimination emphasised how they enjoyed fully 'out' lives and they reported few instances of homophobic behaviour from others Us being together is completely normal for our colleagues' Most LGBT people in Poznań live fully 'out' lives LGBT people in Poznań can also access an array of support services and offers psychological help and legal advice on gender affirmation Multiple other organisations offer various forms of support. Fundacja Tęczowe Rodziny (Rainbow Families Foundation) Through cooperation with local authorities the foundation gave queer families access to the Big Family Poznań Card discount scheme Poznań has earned a national reputation for queer inclusion including one for queer individuals facing homelessness In further evidence of Poznań's difference from other Polish cities, LGBT people have also been included in the 2030 education strategy planning. Poznań has now earned a national reputation for queer inclusion, with authorities co-funding many services, including one for queer individuals facing homelessness. City authorities now also officially partner in Poznań Pride Week Interviewees pointed to several factors for Poznań’s high cultural receptivity including proximity to Berlin and the corresponding Western orientation 'The closeness of Germany has always been radiating culturally and socially to Poznań' This has resulted in ‘mental Germanness’ and suggests that the locals perceive themselves as different from other Poles Poznanians respect others’ privacy: they regard non-heteronormative sexuality as a personal matter and believe that queer presence in public space enriches diversity While the effect of LGBT activism in Poznań is evident, scholars predict ‘downstream effects’ of higher visibility in other places Research found that even in less culturally receptive communities change eventually happens through diffusion Perhaps with the recent change of government we Poles can allow ourselves to be a bit more optimistic I hope to see similar accommodation in other Polish cities

available opportunity The discovery of the Siedlemin field near Jarocin underscores the strong position of the Province of Poznań on Poland’s energy map “It is in this province that Orlen produces the largest volumes of natural gas domestically The exploration and discovery of new fields are integral to our strategy where gas plays a crucial role in supporting the energy transition by balancing the system that increasingly relies on renewable energy sources Orlen’s production activities also bring tangible financial benefits to local communities.” The Siedlemin field is situated in a region with strong hydrocarbon production potential supported by results from prior exploration and other gas discoveries Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard Stay proactive with real-time data and expert
