Abstracts

EN
The article analyses the objectives formulated by Boleslaw Bierut in selected speeches delivered in 1952. The speeches, released on vinyl records by Muza, were a form of political training. Their main aim was to preserve and strengthen various dependency relationships and the main principles of socialist ideology. Through those speeches, the authorities hoped to instil the conviction that the party was a powerful and omnipotent organization and that the 6-year plan was a civic duty. The speeches also aimed to smooth out the contradictions of the political system. Vinyl recordings of Bierut's speeches promoted the use of vague language and debating style in public life. As a result, the public sphere became distinctly separate from the listeners' private reality. The article relies on selected theories of social influence and verbal communication characteristic of a totalitarian regime.
