Yes. The Poles was Slavic… As the Russians, Belorussians, Ukrainians, Serbs, Bulgaria, Slovaks. The Poles use western alphabet and the Russian Cyrillic alphabet.
The western Slavic tribe of the Polans united most of the other tribes that inhabited the area of present day Poland. This unification lead to the Piast dynasty and the creation of the state of Poland. so yes, Poland was inhabited by Slavic peoples even before it was an established country. Poles and Russians are similar in the fact that they are both Slavic peoples. Their language is similar sounding but has key differences. Also, due to their close proximity to each other and common land and climate characteristics, lifestyles and culture in Poland and Russia is similar. According to legend the the nations of Poland, Bohemia, and Ruthenia were founded by three brothers. In the legend Poland was founded by Lech, Bohemia(now part of the Czech Republic) was founded by Czech, and Ruthenia( now the states of Russia, Belarus, and Ukrain) was founded by Rus. Most legends have some shred of truth and it is quite plausible that all Slavic peoples and their decendants are related in one way or another.
All the other answers are good, but we should also note that historically Poland included lands inhabited by other peoples. The Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth was a large state stretching from the Baltic nearly to the Black Sea and composed of many ethnicities. Interwar Poland was in effect a recreation of the commonwealth with Poles, White Russians, Ukrainians, Jews, Germans and others.
Basically yes, the roots are Slavic; but as someone said before due to wars and territory changes the race has mixed- with Germans on West and Ukrainians/Lithuanians on East.
Poles and Russians are as similar as Americans and Canadians.
