Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to present data concerning readership of indepen- dent publications in the period after the introduction of martial law. The author mainly analyses survey-based data collected ex post, including the results of recent studies which have not been published yet. The data collected documents signifi- cant differences in the access to underground publications in various sizes of cen- tres, in groups of various educational background and in environments declaring different opposition behaviour. It is a good indicator of the range of influence of the opposition of the time.
