The article aims to provide an insight into the issue of corruption in Poland at the turn of the 1980s and the 1990s. An important aspect which has influenced the understanding the corruption and its scale was a political change – the transition from communism to a democratic state based on the rule of law. Additionally, an equally important factor which was the simultaneous economic change of the state from a centrally planned system to a free market system was pointed out. The article does not exhaust the topic in question to a greater extent, limiting itself only to offering conclusions based on the collected and presented materials. However, it may serve as the starting point for a detailed study of the problem area.

The article analyses the genesis of the Catholic Social Parliamentary Club [Klub Poselski Katolicko-Społeczny] in the Legislative Sejm of the Republic of Poland in the years 1947–1952, the stages of its activity and the political concepts of its deputies. It consisted of three parliamentarians: Jan Frankowski, Aleksander Bocheński and Witold Bieńkowski. They were initially guided by the tactics of constructive opposition and the intention to create a broader political milieu of Polish Catholics. Initially, the deputies acted in a courageous and factual manner, but over time, in the face of internal disputes and political processes in the country, their activity became increasingly conformist and focused on defending, usually ineffectively, certain rights of Catholics.

The aim of the article is to present the assumptions and methods behind the ideological pressure exerted on Polish teachers by the communist authorities in 1948–1956 as described in the teachers’ memoirs. The Polish Workers’ Party (later the Polish United Workers’ Party) during the Stalinist period tried to instil in teachers “socialist morality” by means of courses, conferences, additional education and an order to “self-educate”. The text contains a synthetic historical outline of the above-mentioned activities and their analysis based on the memories of credible witnesses to those events.

Artykuł opisuje sytuację panującą wewnątrz powiatowej i miejskiej struktury PZPR w Pruszczu Gdańskim w trzech przełomowych momentach historii PRL: Październiku ’56, Grudniu ’70 i Sierpniu ’80. Stanowi też próbę znalezienia cech wspólnych dla reakcji lokalnych władz partyjnych na kolejne wybuchy społecznego niezadowolenia i w mikroskali ukazuje przebieg tzw. polskich miesięcy w niewielkim mieście powiatowym, funkcjonującym w cieniu trójmiejskiej aglomeracji. Z racji bliskości Trójmiasta mieszkańcy Pruszcza Gdańskiego byli często świadkami rozgrywającej się tu wielkiej historii. Wielu z nich pracowało w trójmiejskich zakładach lub uczyło się w tamtejszych szkołach i uczelniach. Tym samym toczące się w Trójmieście dramatyczne wydarzenia historyczne bezpośrednio rzutowały na ich życie. Artykuł oparty jest na fragmentach wydanej w końcu 2016 r. książki Pruszcz Gdański w latach 1945–1990. Partia, bezpieka, „Solidarność”, której autorami są Piotr Brzeziński, Arkadiusz Kazański i Marcin Węgliński.

The article describes the situation within the county and urban structures of the Party in Pruszcz Gdański at the three turning points of the history of the Polish People’s Republic: October ’56, December ’70, and August ’80. It is also an attempt at finding common traits within the local Party authorities’ responses to the subsequent outbreaks of social dissent and on a small scale, the course of the so-called Polish Months in a small provincial town living in the shadow of the Tri-City Agglomeration. Due to the proximity of the Tri-City, the residents of Pruszcz Gdański often witnessed the grand history that happened there. Many of them worked in factories or attended schools or universities that were located in Gdańsk, Gdynia, or Sopot. Thus, the dramatic historical events that took place in the Tri-City directly affected their lives. The article is based on fragments of Pruszcz Gdański w latach 1945–1990. Partia, bezpieka, „Solidarność” by Piotr Brzeziński, Arkadiusz Kazański, Marcin Węgliński, which was published in late 2016.
