Peter Drucker said that „wherever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision". In Poland, more and more people show such courage. This is evidenced e.g. by the growing number of micro-enterprises (that employ no more than 9 people). Without a doubt, this number could be even greater, especially if we take into account the fact that Poland is for more than two decades a capitalist country. The cause of not very high propensity to run own business are not only the external conditions (which, as evidenced by the results of many studies on this topic and daily reality, are, to put it mildly, not very favorable), but also in the sphere of the personal traits of the nation, which were developed during several decades of murderous communist dictatorship, that was in principle hostile to entrepreneurship and any market initiatives. In this situation extremely valuable seem to be any results of desk researches on entrepreneurial attitudes among Poles. The article presents such data related to a group of the students of economics and management of the Faculty of Economics and Management at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun.

The Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń played an essential role in the process of democratic transformation during the early period of the ‘Solidarity’ movement. It was here that the first movement of so-called horizontal structures started, which dominated the University Committee of the Polish United Workers’ Party. The university community could exert pressure – through the University Committee ‘Solidarity’ or the Independent Students’ Association – on the authorities to fulfil the freedom demands. Threats to security imposed by the ongoing democratisation processes were monitored by the security apparatus, and the reports were analysed by the party leadership. The purpose of the article is to present the reaction of the voivodeship authorities to the security threats which, seen from their perspective, resulted from the democratic changes taking place at the Nicolaus Copernicus University during the first ‘Solidarity’ period.

Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika odegrał ważną rolę w procesie przemian demokratycznych w okresie pierwszej „Solidarności”. To tu zawiązał się pierwszy ruch struktur poziomych, który zdominował Komitetu Uczelniany PZPR, a społeczność akademicka poprzez Komitet Uczelniany „Solidarność”, czy Niezależne Zrzeszenie Studentów mogła naciskać na władze w celu realizacji postulatów wolnościowych. Zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa wynikające z procesu demokratyzacji były monitorowane przez aparat bezpieczeństwa, a raporty analizowane przez władze partyjne. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie reakcji władz wojewódzkich na zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa, które w ich optyce wynikały z przemian demokratycznych mających miejsce na Uniwersytecie Mikołaja Kopernika w okresie pierwszej Solidarności.
