It's a Workers' Poland: No More "Nonsense Economy"

This article presents information related to the political conditions of the Soviet Union. Indeed, there is a youthful exuberance in all sectors of political and economic life since the heavy hand of the Moscow-trained and Moscow-subservient bureaucracy has been lifted. New men everywhere have been coming into positions of influence, not as a result of a coup from above, but as a consequence of numerous local battles led by the rank-and-file of the workers against the "powers that were." Agitation among the workers started some time after it did among the intellectuals, where the first signs of the new revolution can be traced back to 1954. Poles-and Polish Communists had never relinquished their freedom to speak and to criticize. But this new trend in the Soviet Union, gave them a freedom which changed the political climate entirely.
