Sadly, the country was forced to accept Russian influence and communism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poland has truly become independent more than 30 years ago which means we can only expect the country will grow stronger with time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vodka\"><\/span>Vodka<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/vodka-shot-768x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"what is poland famous for- vodka\" class=\"wp-image-404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/vodka-shot-768x576-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/vodka-shot-768x576-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most famous <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"yoast-seo-link\" href=\"https:\/\/polishfoodies.com\/best-polish-drinks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Polish drinks, vodka is well-known<\/a> all around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many, it&#8217;s better than the Russian one.
