Over the next eight years, the Communist government and the opposition struggled over power, culminating in 1989 with the creation of a Solidamosc-led government which ended fifty years of Communist rule in Poland and led the way to further democratic revolutions throughout Eastern Europe. The purpose of this dissertation is to utilize newly available and underutilized archival sources as well as oral history interviews, from both international and American perspectives, to fully chronicle American policy toward Poland from the declaration of martial law until the creation of the Solidarnosc government. Rather than explaining Polish-American relations in bilateral terms, the dissertation illuminates the complex web of influences that determined American policy in Washington and affected its implementation within Poland. This includes descriptions of internal tensions within the Reagan administration, differences between American decisions in Washington and implementation in Warsaw, lobbying from Polish-American groups, clashes between Capitol Hill and the White House, coordination with American labor organizations to support Solidarnosc, disagreements with West European allies in NATO and international financial organizations, cooperation with the Vatican and the Polish Catholic Church, synchronization with American humanitarian organizations working in Poland, limitations caused by the realities of Soviet power in Eastern Europe, and complications caused by domestic Polish concerns. By taking a broad view of IV American policy and highlighting internal Polish decisions, with both the Communist ! · . government and the democratic opposition, the dissertation provides concrete examples of America's role in Poland's transformation, arguing, however, that this role was very limited. These conclusions are relevant to arguments abont the end of the Cold War, the nature of American power, as well as current discussions abont possibilities to promote democracy within hostile regimes.

RRPL: Ronald Reagan Presidential Library SecState: Secretary of State VIII ) Introduction: Supporting the Revolution Early on the morning of December 13, 1981, General Wojciech Jaruzelski, the leader of the communist Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR), declared martial law, ending a sixteen-month period of openness, liberalization, freedom, and fluidity often referred to as the "Polish Crisis." The crisis began with the formation of the Independent Free Trade Union "Solidarnosc" in August 1980, and ended with Polish government forces implementing a nation-wide military operation to capture and intern thousands of Solidarnosc and affiliated activists. Martia11aw ended the Polish Crisis and brought a tense calm to the nation, but the opposition was not vanquished. Under the gaze of the United States and within the constraints of the bi-polar Cold War world, the Communist government and the opposition struggled over Poland's future for the next eight years. In 1989, officials from a PZPR-led coalition sat across a round table from Solidarnosc and Catholic Church leaders to negotiate a power-sharing agreement that directly led to semi­ free elections in the summer of 1989 in which a long-time Solidarnosc activist

On 3 April in Brest on the Bug River, Stanisław Kania and Wojciech Jaruzelski met with Soviet leaders to discuss the situation. "We are all very concerned about further developments in Poland," said Leonid Brezhnev in early April. The Kremlin dignitaries made it clear to the Polish Party leaders that they expected them to act quickly and decisively against the opposition and "Solidarity". The Kremlin is not glad The spring of 1981 was a period of turbulence for the Polish communists. From 16 March, Poland held military exercises of the Warsaw Pact forces, codenamed "Soyuz 81", and the threat of strikes triggered by "Solidarity" in the wake of the Bydgoszcz provocation had not yet subsided. On 30 March 1981, the authorities concluded a compromise with the "Solidarity" leadership. The trade union dismissed the idea of general strike, and in return was authorised i.a. to legalise the founding committees of rural “Solidarity” and given promises - never kept – that the state would investigate the events that took place on 19 March in Bydgoszcz and draft a law on trade unions. The leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was not satisfied with such an agreement. The "Polish" topic was raised on 2 April 1981 during the meeting of the Politburo of the Soviet Communist Party.

    Institute of National Remembrance https://ipn.gov.pl/en/news/4466,Two-Victories-over-Communism-Jaroslaw-Szarek-PhD.html 2021-09-23, 20:06 25.08.2020 Two Victories over Communism, Jarosław Szarek Ph.D. In the 20th century two Polish victories changed the course of general history: stopping a march of the Bolsheviks to the Polish Republic and further to the West in 1920 and the first step on the way to free Central and Eastern Europe from the system imposed by Moscow in 1980. Both great victories over communism, impossible according to rational assessment, were won by our ancestors because a well-informed minority could overcome long-lasting weaknesses of the nation, wake it up from a lethargy and bring Poles together around fundamental values. The faces of people gathered on 15 August 1981 in Ossów look very attentive. The oldest of them must still remember the horror and joy from over sixty years ago. Several dozens photos stored at the IPN Archive show tens of people standing next to the monument of Father Ignacy Skorupka, which was rebuilt at the times of Solidarity, after it had been destroyed by communists. Father Wacław Karłowicz, who was thirteen in 1920, is delivering a speech. Next to him, an elderly man in an uhlan uniform is standing at attention ‒ he enlisted as a seventeen-year-old in the Volunteer Army of General Józef Haller. It was quite similar in summer 1981 in Płock, where a fourteen-year-old defender of the city, Antoni Gradowski was commemorated, and in so many other places of victory over Bolshevism.

  • Captive Nations Week, 1999
    Proclamations Proc. 7209 Proclamation 7209 of July 16, 1999 Captive Nations Week, 1999 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation This month Americans mark 223 years of freedom from tyranny. We cele- brate the vision of our founders who, in signing the Declaration of Inde- pendence, proclaimed the importance of liberty, the value of human dig- nity, and the need for a new form of government dedicated to the will of the people. As heirs to that legacy and the fortunate citizens of a demo- cratic Nation, we continue to cherish the values of freedom and equality. Many people across the globe, however, are still denied the rights we exer- cise daily and too often take for granted. During Captive Nations Week, we reaffirm our solidarity with those around the world who suffer under the shadow of dictators and tyrants. Americans have expressed their devotion to freedom and human rights through actions as well as words, having fought and died for these ideals time and again. In World War II, we battled the brutality of fascism. In Korea, Vietnam, and throughout the Cold War, we stood up to the des- potism of communism. In the Persian Gulf, and in partnership with our NATO allies in the skies over Serbia and Kosovo, we have fought brutal and oppressive regimes. Thanks to our strength and resolve and the courage of countless men and women in countries around the world, we can be proud that the list of cap- tive nations has grown smaller. The fall of the Berlin Wall a decade ago finally enabled us to pursue democratic reform in Central and Eastern Eu- rope and to lay the firm foundations of freedom, peace, and prosperity.
