Yes, I know that I am Polish myself. It isn't PKP class, it's class ET42. Also, it wasn't one of the first electric locomotives in Poland. It came waaay after the EP01, EP02, EP03, ET21, ET22, EU07, ET40, ET41, and many others.

This is Russian-made locomotive for Polish State Railways (NEWZ 112E, series ET42, called "Rusek" (Russian in slight deregatory terminology) or Czapajew). It was one of the first electric locomotives in Poland, purchased from Soviet NEWZ Nowoczerkask compagny.

PKP isn't a class, it is acronym for Polskie Koleje Państwowe (Polish State's Railways).
