The article discusses the subject of celebrating International Women’s Day in the Polish People’s Republic (1952-1989). The author aims at showing the importance of this day in the public space – specifically in state enterprises. The article mainly attempts to assess whether those celebrations were inspired by the communist authorities and used to achieve some short- and long-term social goals, or if they allowed to establish or re-establish some kind of trust for the party in power. Empirical data are used to illustrate the phenomenon. The author points out that in the period of the Polish People’s Republic, there existed a certain privilege of being a women. This was evidenced by the prestige that the authorities of the time assigned to the celebration of Women’s Day and the fact that Men’s Day was not celebrated, or at least was much more marginal.

Po raz pierwszy Dzień Kobiet był obchodzony w Petersburgu w 1913 r. Dopiero w 1921 r. na mocy decyzji II Komunistycznej Konferencji Kobiet postanowiono uczcić Międzynarodowy Dzień Kobiet w dniu 8 marca. Nowe święto zostało ustanowione na cześć udziału kobiet w demonstracji w Petersburgu w dniu 23 lutego (8 marca) 1917 r. Od 1922 r. 8 marca był obchodzony jako święto proletariackie, skupiające się wokół Rosyjskiej Partii Komunistycznej (bolszewickiej), związków zawodowych i haseł budowania nowego ładu społecznego. W dwudziestą rocznicę zakończenia Wielkiej Wojny Ojczyźnianej 8 marca został uznany dniem wolnym od pracy na mocy dekretu Prezydium Rady Najwyższej ZSRS. Do czasu pierestrojki państwowym obchodom dnia 8 marca towarzyszyły hasła polityczne. Po upadku Związku Sowieckiego dzień 8 marca pozostał na liście dni świątecznych Federacji Rosyjskiej i zarazem dniem wolnym od pracy.

International Women’s Day was celebrated for the first time in St. Petersburg in 1913. It was only after the 2nd Communist Women’s Conference’s decision in 1921 to proclaim March 8th International Women’s Day. The new holiday was established in honor of the women’s participation in a demonstration in St Petersburg on the 8th of March 1917. From 1922 it was celebrated as a proletarian feast, closely tied to the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and trade unions with their slogans on building a new social order. On the 20th anniversary of the end of the Great Patriotic War, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR declared the 8th of March as work free day. By the time of perestroika, the state celebrations of International Women’s Day were accompanied by political propaganda. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the 8th of March remained on the list of official public holidays of the Russian Federation.
