Marian Hemar was the author of many satires referring to political reality in the interwar period and after the 2nd World War. From 1953 he lived in Great Britain and worked for Radio Free Europe. The programmes broadcasted by the radio station, in which Hemar presented the current situation in Poland in a satirical and understandable manner, were extremely popular among Polish people both in Poland and abroad. One of his satires – A letter to Mr. Prosecutor in Szczecin, was devoted to the court proceedings of Tadeusz Lipski, a S wedish citizen of Polish origin, which took place in 1966 before the Provincial Court in Szczecin. Tadeusz Lipski illegally brought to Poland: 33 golden 20-dollar coins, a platinum ring and the amount of 7000 Swedish crowns. He was arrested and accused of smuggling as well as acting to the detriment of Poland through dissemination of books and magazines published in Polish in western countries among Polish citizens coming to Sweden. The court proceedings were among many political court proceeding conducted at that time in the People’s Republic of Poland. Nevertheless, their focus was an attack on Polish political immigrants, who were suspected of cooperation with the Federal Republic of Germany with a view to changing the eastern border and retrieving the Eastern Borderlands (Polish lands which were incorporated in the USSR ). Marian Hemar, in his satire, undermines and ridicules the charges presented to the defendant and to Polish organizations such as “Circle of people of Lviv” in Stockholm, which were suspected of aiming at a change of borders. He gives an answer to the charges and reveals the real prerequisites of the court proceedings. His political satires became a perfect historical source for researchers interested in the People’s Republic of Poland period.

Wolne Związki Zawodowe Wybrzeża były jedną z ważniejszych organizacji tzw. opozycji przedsierpniowej (obok m.in. Komitetu Obrony Robotników i Ruchu Obrony Praw Człowieka i Obywatela). Celem artykułu jest rekonstrukcja myśli politycznej organizacji oraz odpowiedź na pytania o to, kim byli jej wyraziciele, jak postrzegali rzeczywistość PRL i jak planowali ją zmieniać. Koncepcje budowane przez WZZ Wybrzeża zostały zestawione z innymi programami tego typu organizacji w Polsce. Wskazano również na wątki programowe w myśli WZZ, które pozostają aktualne do dziś. W artykule zastosowano metodę analityczną polegającą na wyabstrahowaniu poszczególnych idei zawartych w dorobku politycznym organizacji oraz jej członków i zrekonstruowaniu ich jako pewnej ideowej całości. We wnioskach uznano, że WZZ Wybrzeża miały charakter przede wszystkim robotniczy i zorientowany na praktykę, co odróżniało je od bardziej intelektualnych KOR i ROPCiO. Ważne dla organizacji były także tradycje socjalizmu patriotycznego wywodzące się z Polskiej Partii Socjalistycznej oraz wydarzenia Grudnia 1970 i ich upamiętnienie.

The Free Trade Unions of the Coast were one of the most important organizations of the pre-August opposition. The purpose of the article is to reconstruct the political thought of the organization and to answer questions about who its exponents were, how they perceived the reality of the Polish People’s Republic and how they planned to change it. The concepts built by the WZZ of the Coast have been contrasted with other programs of such organizations in Poland. Also pointed out are the programmatic themes of the WZZ that remain relevant today. The article uses an analytical method of abstracting individual ideas contained in the political output of the members of the organization in question and reconstructing them as a certain ideological whole. The conclusions recognize that the WZZ of the Coast had a primarily worker-oriented and practice-oriented character, which distinguished it from the more intellectual KOR and ROPCiO. Also important to the organization were the traditions of patriotic socialism derived from the Polish Socialist Party and the events of December 1970.
