Abstract

[Social functions of the „enemy written propaganda” in the years 1965-1975 based on the examples from the Cracow security forces archives].

Many of the operational reports concerning so-called „enemy written propaganda” are still in the archives of the Cracow security forces.

Leaflets distribution, writing on the walls, sending anonymous letters were those spaces of freedom that were willingly cultivated by the defiant. The inscriptions were written on the walls, trains and trams, the leaflets were scattered in the streets, in the parks, dormitories, cafés, the anonymous letters were sent.

Rising social opposition soon resulted in strikes and riots in Radom and establishment of the first legal opposition
