The key research issue of this study is to find an answer to the question of how Poznań Radio and the Polish Section of Radio Free Europe covered the events that took place on the streets of Poznań in June 1956. The author’s intention was to indicate the differences in the interpretation of the same events that were seen from different points of view, determined by political considerations. In 1956, the Poznań Broadcasting Station of Polish Radio acted as a propaganda station supervised by the communist authorities, whilst the Polish Section of Radio Free Europe (RFE), broadcasting from Munich and financed by the Congress of the United States of America, maintained standards of objective coverage in describing the above-mentioned events to the listeners, despite its clear political line. In the author’s opinion, RFE, a kind of a “substitute” radio station, took over the factual informative role of the state regional radio station when reporting on these events

Kluczowym problemem badawczym tego opracowania jest znalezienie odpowiedzi na pytanie, w jaki sposób Poznańskie Radio oraz Rozgłośnia Polska Radia Wolna Europa relacjonowały wydarzenia, które miały miejsce na ulicach Poznania w czerwcu 1956 roku. Zamiarem autora było wykazanie różnic w interpretacji tych samych wydarzeń, które podyktowane zostały punktami widzenia, zdeterminowanymi poprzez uwarunkowania polityczne. W 1956 roku Poznańska Rozgłośnia Polskiego Radia pełniła rolę propagandowej stacji, nadzorowanej przez władzę komunistyczną, podczas gdy nadająca z Monachium Rozgłośnia Polska Radia Wolna Europa, finansowana przez Kongres Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki, mimo swojej wyraźnej, politycznej linii programowej zachowywała standardy obiektywnego informowania słuchaczy. Zdaniem autora RWE jako rozgłośnia „substytucyjna”, relacjonując te wydarzenia, przejęła faktyczną rolę informacyjną krajowej rozgłośni regionalnej, której ta nie mogła pełnić.

The essay describes attempts by those in power to stall the initiative, presents and comments on the content of the book, which was regarded by many readers as the “book of the year”. The essay also makes a number of statements on the reasons for the book’s success and its instantly legendary status.

The article is devoted to occasional poetry related to the Poznań 1956 protests. The survery was conducted within the framework of memory studies, assuming that this type of verse is mostly involved in the literary discourse of memory, and can be treated as one of the forms of forgetting. This approach is supported by theory of collective memory, with notions proposed by Pierre Nora, Jan Assmann, Marcin Kula, Andrzej Szpociński and Michel Foucault.

The article is a brief survey and evaluation of historical research on Poznań 1956 protests, the political change in October 1956, and the year in general. An important gap was filled by the publication of Piotr Grzelczak’s book on the long-term consequences of the Poznań protests, and the conflict over its remembrance between government representatives and local inhabitants of the region, since the protests were one of the defining moments in recent history of Poznań. The article also includes a summary of the controversy between historians over the importance of 1956 as a watershed in Polish history, with some historians arguing that a more liberal image of the communist system in Poland was formed in 1956, while others argued that the communist dictatorship was stabilized by winning wider social support. The author has indicated an increasing separation between narratives about the Poznań protests in June and the political transformations in October, which has consequences and threats related to polarized perception of history, leading to meagre and simplified understanding of social realities of the Polish People’s Republic after 1956.
