“If I’m a Communist, I Really Am One, and if I Don’t Like Them, I Really Do Not Like Them”: Roman Zimand’s Journey Towards and Away From Communism

Summary/Abstract: Olaszek outlines the development of the political engagement of RomanZimand, a journalist, sociologist and literary scholar. Zimand, a communist at first, became a revisionist and later an oppositionist with starkly anto-Communist views. Olaszek provides a rationale for Zimand’s decision and his later stance on his own past, arguingthat Zimand was remarkably radical compared to people with comparable biographies and highly critical of his own life choices. This article is a contribution to the debate on the Polish intelligentsia’s attitude towards communism.
