Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the political changes in Poland. The author offers information on Solidarity, a social movement between 1971 and 1981. The Solidarity miracle that disappeared with the terror of martial law imposed in December 1981 reemerged only briefly in a more limited version to hover over the spectacular Roundtable negotiations in April 1989. The surge in both the volume and the diversity of civil initiatives in the mid-1970s coincide with the signing of the Helsinki Accords and with the country's dramatically worsening economic situation.
