Free Market Prices of Necessity Goods in Areas Administered by the Polish Committee of National Liberation

Summary/Abstract: In July 1944, with the formation of the Polish Committee of National Liberation, the Polish communists faced a major challenge - provisioning. The civilian population subjected to their rule expected to come to their aid with supplies of basic products, above all food, which was most in short supply. Due to the nascent administration's weakness and the lack of a plan, this problem appeared even more difficult to overcome. In this situation, the importance of provisioning on the free market, a parallel allowed to exist by the communist authorities, was growing. The article seeks to analyse the situation in the stores and markets of the so-called 'Lublin Poland'. The basis for these considerations is primarily archival materials from the Central Archives of Modern Records in Warsaw.
