By introducing the night of 12 to 13 December 1981, martial law, prepared since the summer of 1980, the communist authorities used the surprise and experienced relatively little resistance. Contributed to both the lack of adequate preparation by the "Solidarity", disbelief in the possibility of efficient conduct of such operations, operation of special services, as well as the concept of turning over 9-million union. We used the psychological factors - fatigue Society sometimes deliberately inspired conflicts, and stoked fears of Soviet intervention.

Sadly, the Patriotic Movement for National Rebirth (PRON) still lacks a historian. This interesting concept should be considered as the desperate attempt of an authoritarian regime to gain social legitimacy. Contrary to popular opinion, PRON did not merely copy the kind of 'national front' formula known from the National Unity Front (FJN), but also included new concepts. First of all, PRON was to change the existing functioning of democratic centralism: instead of the concept of transmitting the will of the Party to the masses, it was supposed to introduce bilateral transmission. It is worth noting that the regime adopted these proposals in 1982, when the law and order of the country was temporarily secure. The Communists were aware that the only formula likely to win wider support had to be new and authentic. Even more striking, though, is that they opted for changes that actually had a very limited scope. Patriotic phraseology, supported by very limited systemic changes led to disaster: People expected a lot more than the authorities were prepared to offer.

A sociological look at artists’ biographies makes one reflect on their increased mobility. Purposes and reasons of the artists’ migratory journeys are various, they have a different character and their effects also vary. The article based on the narratives of the Polish artists shows three variants of making decisions to emigrate from Poland following the imposition of the martial law in December of 1981. The purpose of the article is also an attempt to modify the dominant definitions of forced emigration by extending it to the aspect of internal coercion generating a strong push impulse. This internal factor seems to be very important in the cases analysed in the article. The biographical interview method allows to indicate that, apart from external coercion, various entanglements of circumstances and trajectories are revealed, which in some cases lead to the decision to leave the home country.

The author presents the image of Bishop Edward Kisiel in the light of the documents of the heads of the Bialystok structures of the Security Service, sent to the Home Oi ce. Bishop Kisiel took active part in social af airs, both in the period of the development of the Solidarity trade union, and during the period of the martial law in Poland . His activity had a character of pastoral assistance, not a political action . He called for quiet and prudence, talked about the social discipline and himself disciplined his priests. He treated the increasing crisis with reservation, was afraid of war conl ict and bloodshed. During the martial law period he attempted to help the people interred spiritually and materially. He disapproved of the situation in the country and criticised the ceasing of the social dialogue.

The article concerns the conspiracy of students of Cracovian secondary schools during the martial law. The author stresses the fact that the main manifestations of the youth’s activity after the 13th December 1981 were the printing and distribution of anti-communist papers and leaflets and participation in demonstrations which often culminated with street fights between the students and the disciplinary forces in Cracow-Nowa Huta.
