He was a founder and editor of the independent, non-censored "Spotkania" magazine. He was interned and brutally repressed by the communists during Martial Law. After 1989, he continued his publishing activity. He was appointed Deputy President of the Institute of National Remembrance, and later head of the Office for Veterans and Victims of Oppression. Janusz Krupski was born in 1951 in Lublin. As a student, he joined the ant-communist opposition movement at the Catholic University of Lublin, where in 1973, as president of the Historians' Circle, he opposed the transformation of the Association of Polish Students into the Socialist Union of Polish Students. In June 1976, he handed over an open letter to the participants of the European Youth and Students' Assembly in Warsaw, concerning incidents of human rights violations in communist Poland. Thanks to his cooperation with Piotr Jegliński, he discovered a way of transferring information about opposition activities in the Polish People's Republic to the West. He was a co-founder of the NOWA Independent Publishing House, the first underground publishing house in the 1970s. In the autumn of 1977, he began publishing the "Spotkania" magazine - one of the most important independent publications. It was on the pages of this magazine that texts by priests Franciszek Blachnicki and Józef Tischner, as well as Władysław Bartoszewski and Stefan Kisielewski appeared.

  • POLISH INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING, 1976-1989 a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate Scho
    MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD: POLISH INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING, 1976-1989 A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History. By Siobhan K. Doucette, M.A. Washington, DC April 11, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Siobhan K. Doucette All Rights Reserved ii MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD: POLISH INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING, 1976-1989 Siobhan K. Doucette, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Andrzej S. Kamiński, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes the rapid growth of Polish independent publishing between 1976 and 1989, examining the ways in which publications were produced as well as their content. Widespread, long-lasting independent publishing efforts were first produced by individuals connected to the democratic opposition; particularly those associated with KOR and ROPCiO. Independent publishing expanded dramatically during the Solidarity-era when most publications were linked to Solidarity, Rural Solidarity or NZS. By the mid-1980s, independent publishing obtained new levels of pluralism and diversity as publications were produced through a bevy of independent social milieus across every segment of society. Between 1976 and 1989, thousands of independent titles were produced in Poland. Rather than employing samizdat printing techniques, independent publishers relied on printing machines which allowed for independent publication print-runs in the thousands and even tens of thousands, placing Polish independent publishing on an incomparably greater scale than in any other country in the Communist bloc. By breaking through social atomization and linking up individuals and milieus across class, geographic and political divides, independent publications became the backbone of the opposition; distribution networks provided the organizational structure for the Polish underground.

YATES JOHN BUCHANAN MILAJCENT VNWICK FOREWORD The documents presented in this volume are links in a chain reaction of free expression. Taking place inside the Sov4et Union and its Eastern Euro- pean allies, this process of civil protest varies from one locale to another both in scope and content. Its common base, however, can be found in the 1975 Helsinki accord, the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Coop- eration in Europe. There, in the introductory Declaration on Principles Guiding Relations between Participating States, the 35 signatory nations bound themselves to accord the same respect to the human rights and fundamental freedoms of their own citizens as to one another's frontiers, sovereignty, and immunity from force or the threat of its use. The pledge to respect "freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief," to "promote and encourage the effective exercise of civil, political ... cultural and other rights", to accord ethnic minorities "equality before the law" and "full opportunity", and to "act in conformity" with international commitments on human rights constitutes Principle VII of the Final Act.

  • Soviet Deliberations During the Polish Crisis, 1980-1981
    SOVIET DELIBERATIONS DURING THE POLISH CRISIS, 1980-1981 Edited, Translated, Annotated, and Introduced by Mark Kramer Special Working Paper No. 1 Cold War International History Project Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Washington, D.C April 1999 THE COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER SERIES CHRISTIAN F. OSTERMANN, Series Editor This paper is the first of a special series of Working Papers published by the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Established in 1991 by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War as it emerges from previously inaccessible sources on “the other side” of the post-World War II superpower rivalry. The project supports the full and prompt release of historical materials by governments on all sides of the Cold War, and seeks to accelerate the process of integrating new sources, materials and perspectives from the former “Communist bloc” with the historiography of the Cold War which has been written over the past few decades largely by Western scholars reliant on Western archival sources. It also seeks to transcend barriers of language, geography, and regional specialization to create new links among scholars interested in Cold War history. Among the activities undertaken by the project to promote this aim are a periodic BULLETIN to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to Cold War history; a fellowship program for young historians from the former Communist bloc to conduct archival research and study Cold War history in the United States; international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars; and publications.

STUDY OF DISSENT AND OPPOSITION IN THE COMMUNIST POLAND Abstract: Social attitudes toward communism in Poland encompassed the whole spectrum of attitudes, from affirmation, through adaptation, to resistance and dis- sent. The most developed and institutionalized form of dissent was the opposition movement. Komitet Obrony Robotników (Workers’ Defence Committee), later trans- formed into the Social Self-Defence Committee ‘KOR’ was a new of type opposition against the communist regime; it created a political alternative and new methods of system contestation, which were followed by other groups in the democratic opposi- tion in the 1970s. The main features of the KOR opposition model are: openness, act- ing without violence, absence of hierarchic organization, decentralization, legalism, solidarity, specified social objectives, political self-limitation, ethical radicalism, plu- ralism and civic virtue.

  • Of Guilt and Punishment Abstracts
    372 “ETHOS” 23:2010 No. 2−3(90−91) OF GUILT AND PUNISHMENT ABSTRACTS From the Editors – From the Philosophy of Advent to the Theology of Hope (A. M. W.) Guilt and punishment belong to the dark and tragic realm of humanity. Al− though we tend to think of them rather unwillingly, genuine reflection on hu− man matters cannot avoid bringing up the question of guilt or punishment. Within the approach of realist philosophy, the entire human existential and moral experience demands serious intellectual analysis corresponding to the gravity of the issues in question. The experience of guilt shakes the identity of the moral subject. If one can think about the basic meaning of the term «alienation,» it will undoubtedly in− volve the way the subject affects himself while committing evil. An absolutely incomparable grasp of such experience can be found in Ovid’s: video meliora proboque, deteriora sequor. Is it not absurd that one should do the opposite of what one’s discernment dictates? And the issue here is not mistake or error of judg− ment, but guilt. While judgmental errors manifest the unreliability of human cognitive faculties or their outright failure, guilt uncovers an inner split or hia− tus one has caused in one’s own being. Guilt is a violation of the order that should remain intact. Due to its objective impact, guilt goes beyond a merely subjective experience. The actual depth of the guilt by which a moral subject is burdened is by no means a reflection of the sor− row or pain he experiences. On the contrary, it is the depth of his guilt that demands on his part a deep insight into the evil consequences of his own effi− cacy.

  • The Scorching of the Earth at Smolensk
    The Scorching of the Earth at Smolensk T. Antoni Grabiec On the morning of Saturday 10th April 2010 an aircraft carrying Polish President Lech Kaczyński and his entourage crashed near the city of Smolensk, Russia, killing all on board (ninety-six people.) There are many suspicions surrounding the tragedy including symbolic elements pointing to this massacre as being a fire and blood ritual sacrifice in fealty to the God of Occult Law, Saturn. All the threads relating to this horror are explored, in honour to those that ‘fell back into the stars of birth.’ TABLE of CONTENTS Introduction 3 Interviews & Presentations 4 Souls who fell back to the Stars 5 Personal Connections 8 The Sorrow of Katyń 11 News and Inconsistencies 13 Media Manipulation 32 “Official” Investigations 38 Finance and Politics 42 Chatham House Connection 44 Voice of Conspiracy 48 Saturnian Symbolism 56 Conclusion 59 Research Sources 60 2 Introduction ‘To know about the truth is not the same as being one with the truth. To know about it is to have mental knowledge only, to be one with is to be the truth itself, with no separation between the knower and what is known.’ Vernon Howard (Esoteric Mind Power) On the morning of Saturday 10th April 2010, a Tupolev Tu-154M aircraft of the Polish Military crashed near the city of Smolensk, Russia, killing all ninety-six people on board. These included Polish President Lech Kaczyński and his lovely wife Maria, senior members of the Military, Government and Financial sectors, relatives and survivors of the Katyn Forest massacre and a friend of mine; Ksiądz Prałat Bronisław Gostomski.
