It explains the historical importance of the Workers’ Publishing Cooperative “Press – Book – Ruch” (WPC) in the period of the People’s Republic of Poland, which was the biggest press concern across Central and Eastern Europe and was an extremely important element of the political system which had been under the full influence of the Polish United Workers’ Party. It owned most of the press titles on Polish market, so when in 1990 the liquidation of the Collective was started, there were many significant problems of political, financial and social nature.
