Andrzej Paczkowski, Klasyfikacja stopnia represyjności systemu , [w:] , Pół wieku dziejów Polski 1939-1989, red. , wybór , Warszawa 2007. A long way to freedom Demonstraon of the "Solidarity" in Warsaw Source: Thomas Hedden, 1984, licencja: CC 0. Link to the Lesson You will learn what were the most important events of the PRL (Polish People's Republic) period; about the social protest against the authorities in 1956‐1989; who Władysław Gomułka, Edward Gierek, Wojciech Jaruzelski and Lech Wałęsa were; why the martial law was introduced in Poland in 1981 and what were its consequences; about the importance of the „Solidarity” for Poland and the Eastern Bloc. Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie abstraktu Not everyone supported the communist rule in Poland. But quite a big part of Polish society decided to put up with it, as they felt threatened and simply fought for survival. However, every few years the accumulation of unsolved social, economic and political problems led to general discontent, which triggered strikes and protests (1956, 1968, 1970, 1976). In most cases, they got suppressed by the authorities, for example in Poznań in June 1956. The strikers were mostly workers of metropolitan heavy industry plants, who were also supported by the intellectuals. In 1980 another wave of strikes took place leading to the establishment of the formally recognized by the authorities Independent Lech Wałęsa during the strike in the Gdańsk Shipyard Self‐governing Labour Union „Solidarity”.

Architectural concepts: materials from the International Seminar on the European Solidarity Centre Map of Europe: The Solidarity Centre Foundation www.gdansk.pl ON THE ROAD TO FREEDOM The European Solidarity Centre in Gdaƒsk The Message of Freedom The date is 31 August 1980, Gdańsk. Lech Wałęsa, the leader of what was probably the greatest strike in the history of the communist system, appears at the gate of the Lenin Shipyard in Gdańsk, which has been present in recent days in practically all the news services round the world. “We’ve finally got our own independent workers’ unions!” he cries to the thousands of people assembled there. The crowd go crazy: they applaud, sing and rejoice. People embrace each other, strangers fall into each other’s arms. Today it might be difficult to comprehend that elation, but it was then that something happened in Gdańsk which shook the foundations of the world and gave rise to a new era not only in European history. “Although that solidarity strike gave birth to Solidarity, the 10-million-strong, powerful move- ment for national and civic liberation, we could not begin to imagine its consequences.

First I need to explain why I have decided not to choose the plural “crises” over the singular ‘crisis’, which is a after all a fundamental distinction. But it is an issue I feel unable to solve, although I have professionally dealt with it for over thirty years. I cannot give an unequivocal and well-motivated answer to the key issue whether in the People’ s Republic of Poland (Polska Rzeczypospolita Ludowa, PRL)1 we had a sequence of crises symbolised by the “Polish months” or whether it was one and the same structural crisis of a non-democratic and unsovereign regime, which every now and then “merely” manifested itself in more or less violent form.

  • The Polska Brand As a Challenge for Polish Cultural Diplomacy. Old Determinants, New Strategies1
    Dorota Jurkiewicz-Eckert* The Polska Brand as a Challenge for Polish Cultural Diplomacy. Old Determinants, New Strategies1 Abstract: This paper analyses the evolution of the strategy employed by Polish cultural diplomacy for the promotion of a positive image of Poland in the context of a long-term strategy for developing the Polska brand in the world. The analysis takes the form of a case study and concerns selected aspects of the activity of the Adam Mickiewicz Institute – currently the most infl uential governmental institution responsible for promoting Poland in the world through culture. The paper presents the main determinants and challenges in shaping a coherent message about Poland and their infl uence on the current strategy for promoting the Polska brand through cultural diplomacy. The critical analysis places the Institute’s activities in the context of the priorities of Polish foreign policy and puts forward a thesis on the growing infl uence of the Institute on the development of Polish culture, Polish cultural diplomacy, and nation branding in Poland. Keywords: cultural diplomacy, public diplomacy, Polska brand, Polish foreign policy, nation branding, EU enlargement * Dorota Jurkiewicz-Eckert, MA – Centre for Europe, University of Warsaw.

This online study used a convenience sample of residents of the cities of Warsaw, Toruń and Poznań, N = 199. The exploratory factor analysis revealed that attitudes towards PPR places fall into two groups: those for the preservation of PPR places, and those for their removal. Moreover, this distinction was associated with, on the one hand, the preservation of ideologically free places (IFPs) such as cafes, milky bars, cinemas, and places that serve cultural functions.
