Poland will have a very hard time given that the rest of Europe and especially Germany will utterly resist their national autonomy. Poland is in a difficult position, honestly their best chance would be if Russia becomes a monarchy again they could strike a deal to essential become part of a composite monarchy, which is maintain autonomy while essentially taking over the Russian state like they historically did with Lithuania, Russia has an internal problem with competent elites that any new regime would have to wrestle with (and the fact that the historical sources of elites, the Russian, Baltic German and Cossack nobility were wiped out by the Soviets), Poland has serious political, cultural and religious conflict with the West, ironically the biggest conflicts between them and the Russian right are imperialism (Russia by no means has the human resources or elite capabilities to realise these ambitions, the whole state has been left in a very bad position, consolidation is the number one priority objectively speaking even if that might break the romance of many Russian imperialists. The fact is that Russia needs to source capable people with primary loyalty to the state, a fully autonomous but associated kingdom would be the best source, taking up the role of the Baltic Germans and allowing for internal reform to be implemented) and the split in the church (which now more than ever is in need of being healed, with Christianity being assailed on all sides the house divided will fall). To put things simply this would normalize relations while being politically acceptable to the Russian right, providing security guarantees in regards to western Europe and cultural and political ones in regards to the ambitions of the US (which in the number one global supporter of progressivism) and EU.

The EU has been very beneficial economically, politically Germany is only being blocked from normalizing relations with Russia by US interests and the loud protests of all the eastern european nations who such a thing would endanger. Politically people didn't join the EU to become subject to an empire or culturally to be erased, this is not even to mention demographics. Mocking the misfortune of these conditions is merely demonstrating my point that Poland unfortunately faces an existential threat to the West which rivals the historic threat traditionally faced from the east. Poland has similar geography to Prussia and faces a similar strategic problem, either close up a flank or be able to outfight everyone, all at once if necessary. The fact is that as things stand Russia is the far weaker threat and thus would have to concede considerably more, the main issue is internal politics on both sides and even that can be turned into a strength. Unfortunately it is currently being shown how much national particularity is tolerated in the EU and to what extent breathing room can be negotiated. It would be preferable not be in this situation at all, and indeed there is no justification except malice on the western side. The country is being told to sell its soul for further economic development, however we should remember that the EU is a decaying power and that the apple offered by the devil is always rotten at it's core.
