From its inception in 1958, the tourist and educational magazine “Poznaj Swój Kraj” [Discover Your Country] was never free from propaganda. Materials of this kind were usually included to mark congresses of the ruling Polish United Workers’ Party or national and state holidays. The official propaganda of success reached its climax in the 1970s. After 1981 eulogies of the socialism system receded and the focus of attention turned to tensions between industrial development and conservation.

Czasopismo „Poznaj Swój Kraj” od początku powstania do końca 1989 roku zamieszczało treści propagandowe. Często wiązały się one z kolejnymi zjazdami PZPR oraz świętami państwowymi. Najsilniejsze natężenie propagandy sukcesu przypadło na dekadę lat 70.
