IIRC, the map of voting tendencies in Poland echoes the map of the partitions of Poland, with the parts that had been under Russian rule before WW1 leaning more towards authoritarian autocracy than the parts that had been under Prussian and Austrian rule. Presumably some form of cultural transmission of attitudes to power would be the root cause.
