Abstract

The Polish Underground State launched an anti-communist campaign with the aim of protecting Poland against the subversive activities of the Polish Workers’ Party and communist interreference. At the end of 1943, underground press printed a series of articles questioning whether the action taken by the opposition was appropriate, whether the enemy and its goals had been well defined, and, above all, whether national and political consolidation was possible in the face of the real threat posed by Soviet-Communist imperialism. In this article, part of this press debate was analyzed based on the views and opinions expressed by an underground monthly journal published under the title of „Communism and Poland”. The article also attempts to determine whether the accusations made by the magazine’s editors were valid, whether their remarks about the Polish anti-communist movement were justified, and whether the journal’s opportunistic and political commentaries and attacks merely sought to gain public support for the cause by beating at an op en door.
