Summary/Abstract: The Warsaw Commitee of the Polish United Workers Party (PZPR) was one of the biggest regional party commitees constituting the middle level of the party apparatus. The wave of strikes in summer 1980 surprised both the country leaders and regional party structures. In face of critical situation, the Warsaw Committee’s absurd strategy was to pretend that nothing much was happening. At that time a lot of party members gave up their membership.
