Journalists — local Ukrainian and foreign correspondents alike — have risked their lives to report on the refugee crisis and the many other aspects of Russia’s invasion She didn’t want to frighten displaced people arriving in droves from the depths of Ukraine there was already a curfew and no accommodation; the first night I had no choice but to sleep on the cold train station floor,” said Żądło unlike in other parts of Ukraine where cities are bombarded.” She is close to tears when she recalls the images and conversations she had with refugee women and children just days earlier her workplace covers the cost of regular psychotherapy She thinks back on her most recent reporting trip which included helping journalists from Taiwan enter Ukraine for their reporting “I was to meet Taiwanese journalists and take them to Lviv They came to Poland to cover the refugee crisis and wanted to enter Ukraine to write about the war I thought this was an excuse not to go because I didn’t have the strength anymore Especially when it comes to explaining the danger to her young son “Whether I am in Polish Przemyśl or Ukrainian Lviv it makes no difference to him; in his mind I tell him that this is a critical moment in the history of the world and I need to be there so I directed him to cook some pancakes and take them to the Warsaw Central train station where there are many displaced Ukrainian kids who love sweets,” she said “Polish journalists always try to help,” Żądło noted about what she witnessed at the border so you deliver food and medicine from aid groups.”  The journalists from Taiwan asked her: “Why did the Poles rush to help so much?” Indeed one reason is the fear that this war may also happen to us Kamil Bałuk is a 34-year-old freelance journalist from Warsaw The father of a 3-year-old daughter and a 9-month-old son suddenly the book project he had been working on and isn’t familiar with the history and issues of the two countries Unlike many Poles who have taken in refugees under their roofs he couldn’t assist as his apartment is small and his kids have some health issues Bałuk had time on his hands, however, and a car with kids’ seats. He called a volunteer group, Zasoby to take refugees arriving at the train station to their hosts’ apartments “These women and children prefer female drivers; unfortunately I show them a photo with my wife and children at the pool Bałuk began to calm after his first two shifts I don’t want to act like a journalist,” he said He has witnessed the toll of the war up close through this volunteer work I asked a mother and her teenage daughter where they came from Every question would seem stupid,” he thought and this woman suddenly said she didn’t believe she was in Warsaw but the next second she put on the face of a strong Agnieszka Burton is a Polish-Australian reporter and non-fiction writer Subscribe to BuzzFeed Daily NewsletterCaret DownHow A Fake Viral News Story Wrecked Three People’s LivesWhen Zdzislaw Mołodyński took photos of an accident in his home town, he could never have known how the British press would spin the story – or the damage it would cause. Read this piece in Polish here Zdzislaw Mołodyński pictured at Lake Solina in May 2015 Ustrzyki Dolne is a small town in southeast Poland, close to the Ukrainian border. It and its population of around 10,000 are about as far out in the sticks as a town could be Nestled among the rolling hills of Bieszczady County in the Dniester River basin conservative both politically and socially there are a few bars and shops and a little market square the chair of a non-governmental action group arrived on the afternoon of 22 December 2013 They could never have known that their lives and reputations were about to be chewed up and spat out by the British media The Wochs had driven there from their home in a small village just outside the town called Brzegi Dolne it has a large stretch of land out the back the Wochs had recently opened a little business offering horse-drawn carriage rides for weddings and other special occasions The idea was that they would dress as Santa and his helper and ride past the town’s Christmas market to give out sweets to the children but it would give their business a bit of publicity As they arrived in the town centre with their sleigh and costumes they learned there had been a last-minute change to their route: They had been expecting to ride straight into the market square but instead were to divert via a little one-way lane that cuts horizontally across the town’s main road they asked someone to stop the traffic on the road so they could cross it more easily As they began to head down the one-way road, some ice at the edge of the road made the sledge jump up and hit the horse that was pulling the cart in the back. The animal got scared “The last thing I remember,” Iwona Woch tells BuzzFeed News as she sits in her living room “is my husband telling me to cover my head.” the accident would have been far more serious But fortunately the sled struck the edge of a brick hut she thought she saw someone taking pictures (left) The edge of the building that the sledge hit throwing Robert Woch and his wife onto to the cobbles (right) The set of steps that the horse almost bolted down Zdzislaw Mołodyński – a semiretired security guard – was walking around the Christmas fair in the town Mołodyński had begun to take more and more pictures and he felt that the beautiful town of which he was so proud was somewhat out of the loop when it came to getting coverage in the Polish media he’d started uploading his pictures to a website run by TVN one of Poland’s biggest commercial TV channels He saw the horse bolt and the sled hit the corner of the building He saw how close the incident came to being a tragedy and started to take some pictures as the emergency services arrived He uploaded them to the TVN site later that day describing it as an “unfortunate accident” he woke up as normal and went out to get the paper angrily asking: “What the fuck do you think you’re playing at?” Mołodyński was baffled It was only when he went home and opened his laptop that he realised that something very strange had happened Loading up the website of the Daily Mail – the biggest English-language newspaper website in the world – he found it had published a story about the crash They included one of Robert Woch lying face down on the ground in his Santa outfit and another of the emergency services taking Iwona away Mołodyński left a comment under the story and on the Mail's Facebook page asking in broken English why his pictures had been used He says that someone at the Mail deleted the comment from the Facebook page shortly after he posted it But it was when he found a Polish translation of the story on a website called natemat.pl that he realised what the story actually said – and quite how much trouble he was in Santa and his assistant come to grief after crashing into a wall during drunken sled ride through town.” It described how “Father Christmas and his helper are facing drink driving charges after they careered round a Polish town in a sleigh and smashed into a brick wall” and said the pair “lost control of their horse in a busy street in Ustrzykach Dolnych" (sic) It went on to report that police were “looking at pressing charges against the pair” who were “supposed to be greeting children anxious to prove how ‘nice’ they had been that year” The first person quoted in the story was Mołodyński The quote read: “It was quite extraordinary They were supposed to have been an attraction at the local market and lots of people were taking their children there to go and see them behaving like they had just come out of a nightclub or something.” The pair had apparently been singing carols and waving at passers-by which threw the horse into a panic," Mołodyński's quote continued "It reared up and sent them smashing into the wall on the corner of the street The next quote came from a woman called Magda Dudzinska who said: "I’m not happy they had a crash or are in hospital but I’m delighted we didn’t get to meet them Who knows what they would have done in that state They were clearly in no state to deal with children." there was a quote from a police spokesperson called Dorota Głazowska they were drunk while in charge of a vehicle on the road BuzzFeed News meets Mołodyński at a lake a few miles out of town where he regularly spends time fishing with friends and begins to describe the impact the story had on him “I was completely broken.” He knew how much damage such a story could do to people's reputations in such a quiet But the thing he couldn’t understand was that none of it was true Mołodyński hadn’t given any quotes to any reporters “I apparently said that they looked like they’d left a nightclub,” he says “But there’s no nightclub in Ustrzyki Dolne And it said I could smell alcohol on their breath – but I have no sense of smell after I had a bad allergic reaction to nicotine medication.” It’s also hard to work out how a man who can’t speak English could have made a pun relying on rhyming “no” and “ho” – let alone when he’d just seen two people taken away in an ambulance Dorota Głazowska-Krzywdzik (to give her full name) But she certainly hadn’t said the words attributed to her Dorota Głazowska-Krzywdzik at her desk in Ustrzyki Dolne “I was off then but was informed by the duty officer as it’s part of my job,” she told BuzzFeed News They wanted to confirm that a horse had gone out of control – I merely confirmed that to be the case They never asked me if the driver was sober.” Głazowska-Krzywdzik showed BuzzFeed News a police report from the event As part of standard procedure for such an incident no one from the local area has ever heard of her Dorota Głazowska-Krzywdzik outside the police station in Ustrzyki Dolne The key to understanding what happened to Zdzislaw Mołodyński lies in three words on the Mail story that appeared on his pictures in the place of the watermark showing they belonged to him and TVN Earlier this year, BuzzFeed News published an investigation showing how this news agency harvests viral news stories from all over the world often embellishing quotes or fabricating details in the service of making them more alluring or enticing reads before selling them on to its eager customers in the English-language media where they appear under its clients’ own bylines (CEN refused to comment to BuzzFeed News for this story.) As a result of the complaint, the Huffington Post removed its piece (although a video about the story remains live), as did the Mail, which published a brief correction The Huffington Post told the PCC that it was CEN’s correspondent who had confirmed a “suspicion of drunk driving” with the police – though wherever this confirmation came from it certainly didn’t come from the local force If Mołodyński did indeed make the comments attributed to him then he uploaded and deleted them with such speed that TVN did not see them when BuzzFeed News contacted TVN it was told the station did not receive a request from CEN to use Mołodyński's pictures A TVN spokesperson also said: "After the story that has been uploaded to [our website] by a user is checked and published as a news item if Mr Mołodyński edited his story in the first two hours after he uploaded it to our system but no respectable news agency would base their story on user-provided information without checking it first." the Mail told the PCC that CEN had said that there was “clearly some suspicion” Woch was drunk because he had been subjected to a blood alcohol test following the accident It did not say where this “suspicion” had come from or mention that Woch was in fact breathalysed It also said it had been told by CEN that the quotes attributed to Mołodyński came from the TVN website A spokesman for the Mail told BuzzFeed News: "MailOnline received a PCC complaint about a 2013 article which was subsequently resolved to the satisfaction of the complainant." A spokesperson for the Mirror said: "This story was provided to us by a news agency and we had not received any complaint about it However as soon as the information was brought to our attention we were happy to remove the article and clarify the issue in the corrections and clarifications section of our website." is that no one in the Mail or Huffington Post newsroom paid much attention to the story when it came across the wires and a few amateurish pictures – just one of dozens if not hundreds of pieces that are pumped out by the viral news machine every day What none of them realised – and what brought BuzzFeed News to this remote part of Poland – was the damage their throwaway story would cause When Mołodyński read the Polish translation of the Mail’s “Drunk Santa” story he posted the story to his Facebook page in order to show how he’d been misrepresented But it only made things worse by drawing more attention to the story within the close-knit community A friend swiftly asked him to take it down He searched for the other eyewitness quoted in the piece He found one person in the town with that surname; but nor anyone else from her family had been at the Christmas fair” Part of the problem for Mołodyński is that Poland has extremely strict media laws – it is mandatory for news organisations to obtain approval from those being quoted The idea that quotes could be distorted – or fabricated – was therefore a difficult one for many of his neighbours to process He wrote to TVN – “I begged them not to let me be hung out to dry” – but he got no response When BuzzFeed News asks what impact the story has had on him “Between the story’s publication and February the next year I’d only been there for two or three hours when the abuse started: People called me a fucking wannabe reporter I saw abuse appearing about me under the articles too ‘Down with pricks like Mołodyński,’ and so on.” “I still can’t think about it and remain calm,” he says Then things got even worse: he learned that the Wochs were planning to sue the people responsible for defaming them He sent them the original information he’d given TVN Both of them sustained knee injuries in the crash and remained in hospital for a few days after the accident Mr and Mrs Woch in their home near Ustrzyki Dolne She received a few calls from the media while she was in hospital and we wanted to calm the story down," she says "You don’t want this kind of advertisement.” the Wochs received a text message telling them to look at Mołodyński’s Facebook page There was a link on it to the Polish translation of the Mail article “One of our mutual friends asked him to pull it down,” says Iwona The Wochs knew how harmful such a depiction of them would be “People even knew about it as far away as Rzeszów,” says Iwona and immediately went to the police with all the information The police advised them that it would have to be pursued by the district prosecutor's office Robert and Iwona Woch with the sledge involved in the accident They weren’t sure a prosecutor would deal with such a petty case – but they pointed out that the story harmed the image of Poles in general along with the reputation of the police (because the spokesperson’s words had been misquoted) as well as the Wochs themselves the case was adjudged not to be in the public interest leaving the only option for the Wochs to seek redress in the civil courts Thus far, they’ve not chosen to do so – but to this day, they bear a grudge against Mołodyński: "He only contacted us after we said in an interview with a local journalist called Martyna Sokołowska that we were considering suing him,” says Robert Woch The pair are also annoyed he brought the story to local attention by posting it on his Facebook page – though they accept that a number of people had already found out about it via relatives in London The Wochs have undoubtedly suffered – not only physical injuries but financial losses due to the damage to their reputation They were even thinking of shutting their business down because they’d taken out credit in order to run it “There were a whole bunch of rumours circulating online after the accident because of the story,” says Robert “Things like one of the horses having rabies We’re the only company offering horse rides in the area but if anything happens this time it’ll be He adds: “Life is slowly getting back on track you can’t let people spread lies about you.” Iwona says that she’s still being asked about what really happened Robert says: “You can’t really judge the damage it’s done over time as it’s a new business – but it’s definitely slowed things down." says she has escaped any criticism within the local community But she remains stunned by the way the true events were distorted “I could see the Polish tabloids might try to do something like this,” she says they’d frame it as a question – ‘Was this Santa drunk?’” it is Mołodyński who arguably found himself in the worst situation The Wochs might have had their reputations damaged further afield but they still had the support of the local community He was not so lucky: As the Wochs told BuzzFeed News "even though we never took any action against him we heard from several friends that people almost lynched him" Nobody wanted to believe his claim that he never said the words attributed to him “I would not want to go through that torment again.” Przeczytaj ten artykuł po polsku Read our original piece on Central European News here Apr 28, 2020 | COVID-19, Society Polish parishes are facing mounting financial woes amid the coronavirus lockdown such as offerings during mass and donations from church events Poland’s 10,000 parishes have been hit particularly hard by the loss of a key source of funding attendance at church services is limited to one person per 15 square metres of space it was a maximum of five people at any religious service The church itself has also encouraged parishioners to stay at home “The offertory is the key source of livelihood for every parish,” a country parish priest from Warka told Rzeczpospolita “The offerings are used to pay all the parish bills and wages For six Sundays we have been preaching to empty benches and so there are no offerings coming in.” “We now cover all expenses associated with the functioning of the parish from our savings We will remain financially liquid for only the next three months and I’m wondering what happens afterwards,” he added Spring is usually high season for most Polish parishes, with several celebrations around Easter followed by a string of First Communions lined up in May. However, this year these have been muted with priests delivering sermons to empty naves and some even walking the streets in lieu of their traditional Easter-time processions In deeply Catholic Poland, society prepares for Easter in isolation which usually see more people coming in the summer are also worried that the pandemic could overshadow this year’s holiday season Father Typrowicz runs a Catholic retreat in Ustrzyki Dolne a town in Poland’s mountainous south and uses the proceeds to finance his parish “We always have more money in the summer when people come to the mountains for holidays we’re uncertain what will happen,” he told Rzeczpospolita The government says that tourism will restart soon but it definitely won’t reach the same scale as before the pandemic,” adds Typrowicz The pandemic is also a financial headache for individual priests, many of whom make a livelihood from teaching religious lessons at schools. Others also receive donations for conducting weddings All other workers involved with organising these church events No slippers and lock up your dog: Polish church advises how to receive priest at home Yet each parish’s finances are part of a larger ecclesiastical web of accounts Part of each parish’s income is given to the curia which uses the funds to finance its seminaries Some bishops have exempted parishes from paying either some or all of such fees for the time of the lockdown A share of each parish’s income also feeds into the coffers of the Episcopal Conference of Poland (KEP) a central organ of the church composed of cardinals The Catholic church initially refused to cancel masses early in the crisis though it issued exemptions for the elderly as well as holding more services so as to reduce the numbers attending each one the government restricted attendance at religious ceremonies Main image credits: WikimediaImages/Pixabay (under Pixabay License) Maria Wilczek

members of the Ładoś Group representatives of the survivors thanks to the “Passports of Life” and researchers from many countries [source: Institute of National Remembrance.] young people with dreams of becoming punks had to contend with a harsh response from the Security Service The early days of the rebellious band KSU were undoubtedly challenging but their teenage defiance played a role in the changes that ultimately helped topple the rigid system paving the way for a free and democratic Poland The results of this struggle will be revealed in theaters this fall Young actor Ignacy Liss portrays Eugeniusz Olejarczyk The observation tower on Holiczka Hill (761 meters above sea level) in the Żuków Range near Ustrzyki Dolne is the newest attraction in the region you can enjoy a wonderful view of the surroundings and the Bieszczady Mountains: Tarnica's Nest The new observation tower on the Żuków Ridge was opened in July 2023 you have several different routes to choose from: longer and shorter There are also plans to build additional paths including those adapted for people with limited mobility The road on the Żuków Ridge visible on maps is a closed forest road accessible only to forest services and bicycles The shortest walking route to the tower leads from Ustianowa Górna It will take about 1 hour to walk approximately 2 km of forest road be prepared for some steep uphill sections through the forest: If you don't feel like hiking through the forest you can choose a longer but more comfortable paved road along the ridge from the parking lot near the Ustianowa Dolna - Łobozew Dolny road but the ascent is much gentler than from Ustianowa Górna For the ambitious and those who enjoy longer we have a suggestion to start from the Market Square in Ustrzyki Dolne and head straight to Holiczka you have to walk approximately 10 km (over 500 meters of elevation gain) After about 3.5 hours from leaving Ustrzyki Dolne you will reach the tower from the southeast: You can also reach Holiczka by taking the mentioned blue trail from Równia (5 km 290 meters of elevation gain) or from Daszówka (4.5 km more paths leading to the tower will soon be created - if you discover them the wonderful panorama visible from the upper viewing terrace in all four directions of the world Until information boards are placed on the terrace we will give you some hints about what you will see you will see Ustrzyki Dolne and the surrounding hills of the Góry Słonne range you will find the green ridges of the Sanocko-Turczańskie Mountains that surround Lake Solina and Lake Myczkowskie you will see all the Bieszczady mountain ranges You will recognize them by the deep saddle - the Goprowska Pass between Krzemień (on the left) and Tarnica (on the right) followed by the long ridge of Wetlińska Polonyna ending with the characteristic "triangular" Smerek In the depression between Caryńska and Wetlińska from the east: the ranges of Magura Stuposiańska with the long ridge of Otryt in front of them Further to the west: the range of Łopiennik and Durna cannot climb the tower from the ridge road ...and near the ruins of the glider school - to the south you will also see Tarnica and the mountain meadows While visiting the observation tower on Holiczka it is worth walking to the extensive panoramic meadow (about 10-15 minutes along the ridge road to the northwest of the tower) ...and an interesting history of the glider school that was located here in the 1930s: The Military Glider School operated on the ridge of Mount Żuków from 1933 to 1939 we can only see the ruins of the glider airfield below the summit of Holicy and there are several information boards that remind us of the incredible history of this place You can find more towers with a view of the Bieszczady Mountains here: The most beautiful views in the Bieszczady Mountains are waiting for us on the mountain peaks and open meadows sometimes it's worth looking at the picturesque ridges from a slightly different perspective that the observation towers give us it is also worth stopping at the Uherce Mineralne railway station and going for a ride on a railbike: Rail trolley rides are an unusual but very interesting attraction we usually have the opportunity to pedal it like a bicycle in Uherce Mineralne - an atmospheric railway station at the threshold of the Bieszczady Mountains
