Journal 21 – 50 Anniversary of Polish Uprising in Poznan
In the previous journal I have written about Hungarian anti-Communist uprising in 1956. In Polish city Poznan, on June 28,1956, took place the protest of workers with the dissatisfaction with both living and working conditions. Riots lasted for a few days. In these days more than 100,000 Polish joined striking factory workers; 70 people were killed, about 800 wounded and 700 arrested. Eventually, Wladyslaw Gomulka replaced Boleslaw Bierut as a communist party leader. Hardline Stalinists were removed from power. The Soviet officers serving in the Polish Army were dismissed. However soon, Gomulka’s reformist veil fell down.
