Russians want Poland to be furious about something that happened more than 150 years ago.

The Volyn massacres happenned in 1943, not sure what you mean by 150 years.

Also, Ukraine unfortunately still has a state cult of the perpetrators, UPA-OUN, who were nazi colaborators and murdered polish and jewish civilians en masse.

From a polish perspective this is understandably a difficult subject. It's also great fodder for the ukrophobic polish far-right.
