Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the image of Berlin in Polish socialist-realist literature (primarily, reportages published in association with 3rd World Rally of Young Peace Fighters). He shows that the borderline set between the two Sectors, Eastern and Western, was also the frontier between two worlds: ‘our’ (young, beautiful, undergoing intense development) and ‘alien’ (old, ugly, condemned to slow decline).
