In a limited-time promotion to rid itself of a load of PS4 thumbsticks, Polish retailer X-Kom threw in a free copy of Fallout 76. The retailer is still carrying Fallout 76 PS4 stock, but thanks to the promotion (presumably), it’s now all out of the thumbsticks, which were priced at $5/ £4. The page for the timed-out promo is still live, but Redditor u/Zupa84PL captured a screenshot while it was still available, and the bundle’s price was slashed from $70/ £54 for a short time.

Morawiecki pulls out after officials voice anger at Netanyahu comments.

Close, but no cigar! There was always something – politics, money, or the works of the great masters of cinema – that stood in the way of a Polish triumph at the Academy Awards. Culture.pl presents nine Polish movies in which almost won an Oscar in the Best Foreign Language Film category.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, Poland’s most powerful politician who has built his position on a reputation of honesty and anti-communist convictions, suddenly finds himself embroiled in revelations over his involvement in complex business dealings and the presence in his inner circle of people with alleged communist ties. The stakes are high, given two crucial elections this year — for the European Parliament in May and for the national parliament in the fall.

Warsaw is scrambling to preserve the country’s reputation as a reliable meat exporter.

Promising newcomers are threatening to tear apart the country’s two-party system in every direction.

For years few spoke about it. Many shared the feeling “You didn’t want to tell them because they wouldn’t understand or would laugh so you just closed yourself up.” The story of the horrifying crime carried out by the Russians during WWII on the people of Eastern Poland wasn’t well known and still isn’t.

Citizens across the country are taking on the authorities – and winning, says Warsaw-based journalist Christian Davies

The latest revelations about Jaroslaw Kaczynski won’t be as damaging as those that helped to topple the previous government.

Polarization is everywhere. But it’s being challenged in Poland by a handful of magazines across the political spectrum. They’ve begun sharing articles, to show readers a variety of viewpoints.

When left-wing Polish politician Robert Biedron celebrated late last year that his party was polling at almost 10 percent, it was surprising in more than just one way. For one, Biedron’s party did not yet exist. With no party name or agenda and almost two years to go until presidential elections, he had nevertheless embarked on an improvised road trip across Poland to rally crowds for his cause. Speaking in shopping centers and community halls, the 42-year-old was being welcomed by mostly young and urban audience members, who applauded his demands to separate church and state, phase out coal, and improve rights for women and LGBT people.

As day broke on negotiations at a momentous climate change conference in the Polish city of Katowice, politicians, diplomats and scientists were given a rude awakening. At 6am, a coal miners brass band struck up and marched through the streets to celebrate the day of Saint Barbara, their patron saint. The previous day, beloved nature broadcaster Sir David Attenborough had given an impassioned speech warning of civilisation collapse if the world did not break its fossil fuel addiction. Evidently, the band had not received the memo.

Paweł Adamowicz was attacked at a charity event on Sunday.

Following the death of the Gdańsk mayor, Paweł Adamowicz, stabbed on January 13 at an event organised by the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP), the organisation’s head and founder, Jerzy Owsiak (pictured above), has announced his resignation.

The assassination of Gdańsk Mayor Paweł Adamowicz at a fundraising event for Poland's most beloved charity culminates years of fear-mongering about the country's opposition and judiciary by the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party. And now the PiS has chosen the wrong scapegoat for Adamowicz's murder. By Sławomir Sierakowski.

Gdańsk mayor’s funeral revealed a nation in shock, bereft of a man who stood for openness

There are fewer and fewer of those who still remember. The Russian army entered Auschwitz — the network of extermination camps operated by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland — on Jan. 27, 1945, liberating the most notorious site of the Holocaust. In the decades since, groups of survivors have gathered to honor that day — including an annual remembrance at Auschwitz itself. This year, they mark the 70th anniversary of liberation on Tuesday — a day that, for a significant portion of remaining...

Filmmaker Roman Polanski will attend a court hearing in Poland next week that will consider a US extradition request over a 1977 child sex crime conviction, his lawyer said. A spokeswoman for the court in the southern city of Krakow said the hearing would take place on 25 February. Polanski, who lives in France and is preparing to make a film in Poland, will attend. “In line with the declaration that was made before, Mr Roman Polanski will appear in the court,” Jan Olszewski...

Have you ever needed to deposit a fat stack of cash, but didn't want to travel to a bank? Poland’s Idea Bank has bolted ATMs into a fleet of cars that can be ordered via a smartphone app for no-fee deposits, wherever you are, even late at night. As long as you’re in Warsaw, Poland.

Some 50 Christian families fleeing war in Syria have arrived in Poland to begin new lives. A chartered plane from Beirut carrying about 150 refugees landed in Warsaw late Friday. The Syrians are being taken to a hotel, and within days they will begin the process of requesting asylum and being placed in housing. A few spoke to reporters, but they refused to be photographed or filmed, fearful of putting loved ones back home at more risk.

Last week, a pair of anonymous treasure hunters approached officials in Walbrzych, Poland​ via their lawyer to claim they had found an old Nazi loot train. Now officials have confirmed that the pair certainly found a train. Whether it's full of gold remains to be seen. As NBC News reports, a press officer confirmed that a military train had been found and the town's deputy mayor Zygmunt Nowaczyk​ made the following statement at a press conference...

The visitor center at the Auschwitz concentration camp is being criticized by visitors who were shocked to see showers set up outside of the Polish site over the weekend. For some, the cooling stations offered a dark reminder of the camp's horrifying past. As the area suffered from severe heat, the site's managers set up misting showers to keep visitors cool as temperatures soared well into the 90s.

The dream of indoor location sensing has always been just that - a dream. The difficulty of Wi-Fi tracking and other technologies has made it hard for anyone – from businesses to regular users – to figure out where they were in a venue. But the folks at Estimote, a Polish beacon company, may have just cracked the code.

Auschwitz concentration camp was a network of German Nazi concentration camps and extermination camps built and operated by the Third Reich in Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany during World War II. It consisted of Auschwitz I (the original camp), Auschwitz II–Birkenau (a combination concentration/extermination camp), Auschwitz III–Monowitz (a labor camp to staff an IG Farben factory), and 45 satellite camps.

German prosecutors say they've charged a 91-year-old woman with 260,000 counts of accessory to murder on allegations she was a member of the Nazi SS who served in the Auschwitz death camp complex. Schleswig-Holstein prosecutors' spokesman Heinz Doellel said Monday the woman, whose name wasn't disclosed due to German privacy laws, is alleged to have served as a radio operator for the camp commandant from April to July 1944.

The Russian ambassador to Poland has sparked outrage for putting some of the blame for World War II on Poland, creating a new spat amid deepening tensions between the Slavic nations. Russian Ambassador Sergey Andreev on Friday described the Soviet's 1939 invasion of Poland as an act of self-defense, not aggression. The comment prompted Poland's Foreign Ministry to declare Saturday that the ambassador...

Jewish armed resistance to the Nazis saved many lives by hastening Hitler's defeat.

Poland on Thursday signed a landmark deal to build the first EU gas pipeline to the isolated Baltic countries, reducing their uneasy reliance on Russian supplies. "You have witnessed history being made," European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said after the signing of the 558-million-euro ($636 million) deal between Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

Roman Polanski should be deported from Poland to the US to face sentence over a conviction for having sex with a minor in 1977, according to the leader of Poland’s newly elected Law and Justice party. Jarosław Kaczyński made the case an instrumental part of his campaign during the final stretch before he came to power last weekend. “There was open talk that he should not be made responsible for his deeds because he is an outstanding, world-famous film-maker,” Kaczyński said.

Radoslaw Sikorski plotted with the owner of Polish coalmines and electricity plants to use European Union sanctions against Russia to stop imports of rival, low-cost Russian coal in the Polish market. By John Helmer.

Engineers are set to start surveying a railway embankment in south-western Poland to establish how to dig out a “gold train” that is thought to have been buried there in the dying days of the Third Reich. The existence of a Nazi gold train, its whereabouts and its cargo – possibly stolen valuables and artworks – remain one of the great unsolved mysteries of the second world war.

Poland will sue Russia in a human rights court over Moscow's withholding of the wreckage of a Polish jet that crashed in thick fog over Russia in 2010 killing the Polish president, the country's foreign minister-designate said. Russia has so far declined to return wreckage, arguing it first needed to conclude its own inquiry. The decision by a new more nationalist Polish government to press the matter could add to tensions already stirred by Russia's annexation...

Doctors in Poland used a virtual reality system combining a custom mobile application and Google Glass to clear a blocked coronary artery, one of the first uses of the technology to assist with surgery. The imaging system was used with a patient who had chronic total occlusion, a complete blockage of the artery, which doctors said is difficult to clear using standard catheter-based percutaneous coronary intervention, or PCI.
