The article looks at the critical approaches to the thematizations of the period of the People's Republic of Poland (1945-1989) in the novels of the 1990s and examines the ways in which the critics tried to conceptualize the representations of the communist period. The critical appraisals, which combine personal, artistic and political judgments, differ so much that there is no room for compromise. Consequently, the best way of mapping the critical literature dedicated to the reception of the Poland's postwar decades is by using a set of polar opposites: the political right, demanding an outright condemnation of communism versus the political left which chooses to focus on the non-political aspects of the period; a moralistic approach versus a more balanced and nuanced criticism; an ideology-driven view of the past versus a preoccupation with private history; the communal experience versus individual experience; strategies of remembrance in opposition to the process of gradual fade away and forgetting of the communist past.

This article is about daggerers - the most deeply conspired group amongst all the bodies forming the underground State during the January Uprising in the Congress Poland (1863-1864). Initially, their task was to protect the Government against Russian agents; soon after, however, were they authorised to perform executions. The authoress describes the manner in which the daggerers were represented by historiography and literature, noting that the experience of crime, assassination and ethical crisis is processed in multiple ways, not infrequently contradictory to one another.
