Solidarity Now - A New Year's Conversation with Zbigniew Bujak[from: Tygodnlk Mazowsze, no. 152 (3 January 1986)]The leading Solidarity underground publication interviews the head of the clandestine Interim Coordinating Commission of Solidarity about his views on developments in the Polish underground.
A Picture of 1985[from: Tygodnlk Mazowsze, no. 153 (9 January 1986)]This survey of the events of the year 1985 appeared in the leading underground publication.
The First Five Years / by Dawid Warszawski[from: KOS, no. 78 (18 August 1985)]This analysis of the five years since the Gdańsk accords appeared in the biweekly publication of the Warsaw branch of the Committee for Social Resistance [Komitet Oporu Społecznego (KOS)]. The author argues that it was not until after the imposition of martial law that the most significant changes in Polish political consciousness occurred. He considers the now widespread public recognition of the necessity for systemic change, a triumph that more than compensates for the defeat of December 1981.
