The next volume that appeared in
the series of Post-Conference Materials is an attempt to illustrate one of the
socio-political crises of the Polish Peoples Republic, known as June 1956.
Workers' riots which originally had a purely economic basis were transformed
into social and political protests. In 24 provinces, in 97 production sites,
strikes broke out. Over 71 000 people participated in the riots. In Radom, Ursus
and Płock street demonstrations took place. In Radom alone the Ministry of
Internal Affairs employed 1543 policemen and special motorised militia forces (ZOMO)
and a few hundred of civil Ministry officials to pacify the revolts.
The authors of the book analyze the reasons for, course and repercussions of the
events. They have a close look at the activities of the state apparatus as well
as the at the reactions of the society. The volume includes fifteen reports of
witnesses and participants of the events - both on the part of the oppressors
and the repressed.
