Описание:

In the early 1980s, it became the first independent labor union in the Soviet-bloc country. Solidarity gave rise to a broad, non-violent, anti-communist social movement that, at its height, claimed some 9.4 million members.In the modern European history the solidarity movement in Poland is one of the really powerful and inspiring movements. Between 1980-1989, Solidarity led what has often been described as a “10 year revolution”, which ultimately resulted in the collapse of communism in Poland, a key turning point which triggered wider reform and revolution across the Eastern bloc.
