I always thought that Poland had survived the plague, but now I see some people saying that it did not, and that it was just communist propaganda. So which one is it? Thanks in advance
It's a common notion, but it's not quite correct - though I don't think we can blame the Communists for this one. u/mikedash has a phenomenally thorough examination of Polish 'Black Death exceptionalism' here. As always, should anyone have further insights to add, please feel quite free to do so!
