TI - Anti-communist Conspirative Youth Initiatives in Kalisz County in the Years 1947-1954
AB - In the years 1946–1947, the communists gradually dealt with the legal political opposition of the Polish People’s Party. The amnesty announced subsequently turned out to be a devastating blow to the underground continuing its activities from the period of World War II. In this situation, opposition activities among young people growing up in the post-war period began to become particularly important. The progressive Sovietization of social life in Poland was met with various manifestations of opposition and resistance in these circles. The consequence of this was spontaneous attempts at conspiratorial activity among school youth. Such initiatives were also born in the Kalisz district. They did not constitute a serious threat to the communist system, but the power apparatus of that time did not underestimate them, and this resulted in repressive actions on its part. These issues are presented on the example of nine different conspiratorial initiatives from 1947-1954.
