I don`t know either Russian or English, but guess that there may be
similarities, as there are between Portuguese and Spanish which I do
speak. Portuguese and Spanish have many words in common but they often
have many differences in the most used words.

Thousands of times I`ve heard the station ID which sounded to me as:

"Radio Volna Europa, Vloss Volna Polska"

I always thought it must mean:

"Radio Free Europe, Voice of Free Poland"

Just a guess. I never looked it up nor asked any of the Polish exiles I
worked with.
