History
March 15, 2021 The treaty, consisting of 26 articles, was signed on 18 March 1921 by representatives of Poland, Russia and Ukraine. This document ended the Polish-Bolshevik war of 1919-1920 and determined the borders between the two states. Kalbar/TFN
To mark the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Riga, which sealed Poland’s victory over the Soviet Union in 1920, the Royal Castle in Warsaw is hosting two exhibitions that show the contrasting sides of the bitter-sweet peace deal between the two states.
The Institute of National Remembrance, highlighting the tragic consequences of the deal, has prepared a special open-air exhibition entitled ‘The Bitter Peace. The Treaty of Riga 1921’ in the castle’s courtyard.

Even on a weekday, Copenhagen seems to start the day in fairly leisurely style and things slow down even more on a Sunday.
