As it races to become NATO’s frontline fortress against Russia, Poland has launched large-scale civilian courses teaching survival skills during times of crisis. The programme is intended to help bridge the gap between the military and society while psychologically preparing civilians for war.
Imagine the following scenario: it is 2042 and the Ukrainian front is frozen. The Russian authorities have decided to make Poland the main target of an attack on NATO. Russian forces advancing from the north (Kaliningrad Oblast) and east (Belarus) cross Poland’s eastern border, link up, and push forward as far as the Vistula River.
