Tadeusz Boy-Zelenski’s journalistic activity, which developed around the movement for “birth control” and “birth regulation” was one of the most thoroughly discussed episodes connected with customs changes in the Inter-war period. It gathered the dilemmas of the modern population policy which eagerly resorted to slogans promulgated by the then Neomalthusians and eugenics propagators. Sharing their belief that the key to end the crisis which consumed the European society was scientific research, Boy postulated the introduction of various biopolitical practices in order to reduce the population growth.
