Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to trace development of socio-political thought of “Solidarność” in years 1980-1989 in the light of a model of doctrinal evolution.

In the third chapter the intellectual development of “Solidarność” thought is outline. It is supposed that in years 1980-1989 “Solidarność” was revolutionary (1980-1981) conspirational (1981-1986) and reformist social movement (1986-1989) what in uenced its doctrinal development and diversi cation (emerging of radical and compromise wings). In the fourth chapter, the socio-political and socio-economic factors and conditions are identi ed which in uenced the doctrinal development of“Solidarność”after 1989 – namely acceptance of neo-liberal model of transformation and resignation from workers’ self-governance.
