The "Amnesties" of General Jaruzelski / by Michał KołodziejThe release of political prisoners in Poland was not an unprecedented move. The previous "amnesty" of July 1984 was similar in scope and in its emphasis on propagandists argumentation.
The Opposition's Political Hopes: Some Underground Opinions / by Anna PomianThe release of political prisoners was long one of the basic demands of the opposition. It was seen by some opposition activists as a step toward a change in relations between the authorities and the public. It is far from certain, however, that the authorities regard it in the same light.
Cooperation with the Authorities: The Case of "Res Publica" / by Anna PomianSome Independent publications have recently voiced their opinions about the possibility of cooperating with the authorities; one such initiative seems to have been successful, although many questions raised by the opposition are as yet unanswered.
[What Chance for Private Initiative?] What Shall We Do with Mr. Y? / by Nika KrzeczunowiczThe short article in "Robotnik" considers a problem that is becoming more pressing in Poland: the resentment bred by the growing gap between the haves and the have-nots.
[What Chance for Private Initiative?] Old Juice Into New Bottles? / by Nika KrzeczunowiczA private entrepreneur bought up a stock of adulterated tomato juice, poured it down the drain, and made money on reselling empty bottles, promptly landing in jail.
[What Chance for Private Initiative?] On the Economic Reform: A Different View / by Nika KrzeczunowiczFor economic reform to work in Poland it will require more than grand plans and repeated assurances: it will require sacrifices on the part of everybody and, above all, the loosening of rigid regulations and state control in order that individuals might participate with profit both to themselves and their fellow citizens.
Polish Punks and Pop Festivals / by Anna PomianAlthough the Polish authorities officially sponsor pop concerts and song festivals in places such as Opole, Sopot, and Kołobrzeg, they provide little media coverage and financial support for the growing rock and punk music movement in Poland. One opportunity for budding rock groups and their fans is the annual rock festival held near Jarocin, a sort of Polish Woodstock. |
