The Place of the Communist Party at the ‘Red’ Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (UMCS) – 1944–1989

Summary/Abstract: This article is the result of several years of research in the state archives. The author tried to show the actual position, first of the Polish Workers’ Party, and then of the Polish United Workers’ Party at the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin. It was the first state institution of higher learning created by the communist authorities, already in August 1944. The authorities wanted a model univeristy that would be not merely a forge for new academic and party cadres, but also the birthplace of a new intelligentsia, with a prefered worker or peasent background.
