TI - The Democratic Professors’ Club in Poznań in the years (1949) – 1950-1953
AB - The article presents the organization and the activity of the Democratic Professors’ Club in Poznań in the years 1950–1953. The functioning of the Club was a part of the communist authorities’ plan. After their rise to power in Poland after the Second World War, they aimed at subordinating universities and academic staff not only through administrative decisions, but also through the activity of various clubs, organizations and associations, which were supposed to gather lecturers and academics and educate them in the socialist spirit. Those clubs and associations were supposed to encourage the academic environment to support changes which were being introduced in the country. The author discusses the creation of the Democratic Professors’ Club in Poznań, the establishment of its Board, as well as various forms of the society’s activity: lectures, talks, seminars, workshops, meetings and discussions (usually concerning the academic achievements of the USSR, and Marxist and Leninist methodology) and the social activity of Club members in the period when it was headed by Stefan Błachowski and Zdzisław Kaczmarczyk, professors at Poznań University.
