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.
