Summary/Abstract: This article examines the post-1945 reception of the work by Adam Strug – Miliardy. The posthumous novel presents the lives of several protagonists living in New York during the Great Depression (1929–1933). The article discusses the critical remarks formulated in the years 1945–1989, when the cultural policy of the Polish People’s Republic was politically subjugated to Marxist ideology. All those interconnections bore upon the reception and interpretation of Andrzej Strug’s literary works.
