- W4313019740 abstract "Abstract Poland’s struggle for freedom following the Second World War culminated in the Contract Sejm and the Eastern Bloc’s first non-communist government. This paper recognizes that this victory was the result of the strength of the public in fighting totalitarian communism as well as the Polska Zjednoczona Partía Robotnicza’s (PZPR) weakness. However, I argue that political pressure from the Allies post-Yalta gave space to groupings from the pre-war Polska Stronnictwo Ludowe (PSL), Stronnictwo Pracy (SP) and Polska Partía Socjalistyczna (PPS) to create facts on the ground and a bottom-up democratic element which was, against all odds, able to transition into the PRL’s official coalition parties. Over time, that element developed to the point where by the 1980s the satellite parties had created enough autonomy from the PZPR that allowed them to push their own agendas, as noted by, for example, Frederic Zalewski. Ultimately, that ’autonomization led these parties to leave the Front Jednosci Narodowej (FJN) and join the Solidarity-led National Unity government of Tadeusz Mazowiecki. We consider four loose periods of post-war political history of Poland’s official political factions (Stronnictwa): the 1945-50 period of Developing Opposition Breathing Space; 1951-56 of Fighting for Independent Political Lives; 1956-84 Top Down Cooperation with the PZPR, Bottom Up Agitation for Political Freedom; 1984-89 Increasingly Autonomous in a People’s Democracy. We consider the role of pre-war leaders in developing Poland’s political institutions, the role of London party members in the newly created Communist political parties, and the experience that members of Solidarity, the Round Table and the Mazowiecki government took from the official parties. We conclude that what is sometimes known as the Polska droga do socjalizmu in fact reflected a surprising democratic element even within the ranks of the official political structure." @default.
