Students' scientific circles at the University and Technical University of Wroclaw (founded in August, 26th, 1945) appeared already in autumn 1945 together with the beginning of the academic year. Those circles wanted to continue tradition, structures and activity area of pre-War model. The Ministry of Higher Education accepted the students' action and the authorities of the university could confirm the circles statutes and appoint curators, who were members of the academic staff. Till 1948 not less than 21 circles, strictly connected with main fields of specialization, were founded. The most of students adhered to the circles. They popularized scientific research and self-teaching, published textbooks, had their own libraries. They were also social and mutual aid centers, important in a difficult time just after the War. Political changes after 1948 influenced the movement. It was centralized and subordinated to 'Brotherly Help' (Bratnia Pomoc). At the beginning of 1950s, within authoritative and compulsory centralization of the youth movement, all circles were joined a newly founded Polish Students' Association. This was the end of their independence. They became a part of totalitarian system.

(Polish title: 'Odwilze' i restrykcje na uczelni wroclawskiej w latach 60. I 70 XX w. w swietle Dziennika i korespondencji profesora Wladyslawa Czaplinskiego (1905-1981)) The overall aim of this study is to discuss the problems historians working in universities under the communist regime had to face. Probably the main challenge was the interwoven periods of tightening and loosening of restrictions. There were the changing relations with the censors office, problems with getting permission to go abroad to study in archives and take part in conferences. Analyzing the influence under which the academics worked we obtain a better understanding of the reasons for decisions taken by them in relation to their scientific carrier. Notwithstanding this difficulties the non party academics, like professor Czaplinski, struggled to have a say in both didactic and scientific life of the University, upholding at the same time their own high ethical standards. He considered himself responsible for the place the Wroclaw University had on the academic map of Poland, to which end he was as active as conditions allowed him. The study is based on the correspondence with two eminent Polish historians professors Adam Kersten and Henryk Wereszycki confronted with the records in the Diary of professor Czaplinski.
