https://doi.org/10.4467/0023589XKHNT.22.005.15441There have been several canonical studies on the historiography of the political history of the systemic transformation in Poland still constitute a point of reference for researchers today. At the same time, however, the dynamic growth of the source base and the increasing popularity of post-structuralist scientific trends resulted in the fact that the research perspective characteristic of this canon is aging rapidly. The analysis and comments formulated in this text are an attempt at balancing the strengths and weaknesses of the historiography of the political history of the systemic transformation to date and an attempt to indicate how it potentially could develop further.

Soon after, he became one of the most well-known figures in Jaruzelski’s team, but – at the same time – was not only torn by an internal conflict, but lost space for any political manoeuvre. This losing of political capacity was evident in the role he played in the top power elite in the first months of the martial law. Rakowski’s opinion meant little, but he never decided to leave the team. For his political ambition to win actual political significance, Rakowski was socially ostracised and kept away from actual centres of political power.
