Nationalists and the regime of the People's Republic of Poland - silent friendship, open collaboration

For several years, various nationalist circles have been taking to the streets on December 13 and shouting anti-communist slogans. The aim of this bulletin is to show the hypocrisy of those communities whose roots often go back to the People's Republic of Poland or collaborated to a varying degree with communist organizations.
The main nationalist organizations in Poland are ONR (National Radical Camp), All-Polish Youth, NOP (National Rebirth of Poland), Falanga and the slowly growing Autonomic Nationalists . A phenomenon of lesser strength are the nationalist neo-paganists from the Association for Tradition and Culture "Niklot" and the Nationalist Association "Zadruga" . The first two organizations together created the Independence March and are currently trying to establish a new political formation - the National Movement .
RED ROOTS OF CONTEMPORARY NATIONALIST GROUPS
Roman Giertych , the founder and former president of the post-war All-Polish Youth, comes from a family that is tainted by open cooperation with the authorities of the communist regime. Maciej and Jędrzej Giertych (Roman's father and grandfather) even supported Martial Law. In the years 1986-1989, Maciej Giertych was a member of the pro-regime Consultative Council boycotted by the underground Solidarity opposition. Part of the opposition, especially related to the KOR(Workers' Defense Committee), the Giertychs attacked for "serving non-Polish interests". Maciej Giertych also enjoyed the support and trust of the church hierarchy, especially its most legalistic, conciliatory towards communists and conservative wing. After 1989, Maciej Giertych managed to win the seat of an MEP on behalf of the League of Polish Families (LPR) and become famous, among others with warm words towards the murderer and former dictator of Chile, Augusto Pinochet .
Bolesław Piasecki , the creator of the pre-war National Radical Camp and the Falanga , also collaborated with the communist regime . Although Piasecki died in 1979, the PAX Association founded by him , grouping the heirs of the Polish anti-Semitic nationalist tradition, which operated legally from the post-war years, supported Jaruzelski and finally accepted the taking of tanks against the workers on the streets on December 13, 1981 . PAX was an organization completely subordinated to the authorities of the Polish People's Republic, gathering the so-called progressive Catholics, and Piasecki himself supported Stalinism even after the period of the thaw, of which, by the way, he was against.
The heirs of the pre-war ONR believed that the NSZZ "Solidarność" was manipulated by circles associated with the KOR, which they considered a Jewish organization. A practical expression of these views was the establishment of the "Grunwald" Patriotic Union association in 1980 , gathering the party "concrete", officers of the communist security service, militia and the army associated with the "Moczarowców" community (although Mieczysław Moczar himself distanced himself from the activities of "Grunwald" ), as well as veterans of the pre-war extreme right, including Napoleon Siemaszko (a pre-war activist of the All-Polish Youth and the National Party) and Władysław Wojcik(also of Wszechpolak and a member of the Supreme Court). The purpose of the existence of ZP "Grunwald" was to discredit Solidarity and the democratic opposition by pointing to the alleged Jewish origin of the activists of the Workers' Defense Committee and NSZZ "Solidarity". These goals were realized with the help of mass events organized in workplaces, incl. in the Gdańsk Shipyard and through printed propaganda, attacking trade union and opposition activists. Grunwald had the consent of the leadership of the Polish United Workers' Party to publicly proclaim nationalist, xenophobic and anti-Semitic slogans. During the Solidarity carnival , the association, led by the famous director Bohdan Poręba , tried to use the anti-Semitic campaign known from March '68. On the thirteenth anniversary of the March events, the founders of "Grunwald" organized a rally in front of the former building of the Ministry of Public Security, during which they warned against "Zionist" forces in "Solidarity". The communist regime did not hesitate to use the controversial actions of "Grunwald", and this grouping operated freely until the end of the Polish People's Republic. It was tactically useful for the team of General Wojciech Jaruzelski, which used nationalism and anti-Semitism instrumentally in a political game with the opposition. The association applied for accession to PRON and, like PAX, supported the martial law by Bolesław Piasecki. After 1989, some of its activists who remained politically active joined several National Parties, the Party of X Stan Tymiński (Józef Kossecki was the leader of this party in 1995-99), and later with the Self-Defense Alliance . They were active in the " Not for the European Union " association and in the pan-Slavic movement. Tadeusz Bednarczyk collaborated with Leszek Bubel - a leading anti-Semitic publisher. Some of them - such as Edward Prus , Bednarczyk, Szcześniak - became journalists of Radio Maryja . Some of the former activists of ZP "Grunwald" published in " Tygodnik Ojczyzna ", " Myśli Polska ", and then - in " Nasz Dziennik ".
NATIONALISM IN PRL
The extreme right in the communist period, faithful to the traditions of the pan-Slavic, pro-Russian (and anti-German) political thought of Roman Dmowski , quietly (and sometimes loudly) sympathized with the alliance with the Soviet Union. Similarly, the communists were skilled in referring to the national idea when their power turned out to be under threat. The authorities of the Polish People's Republic reached for nationalism which, in their opinion, offered a utopia of social reconciliation and unification.
Initially, the communist rule was based on the created charisma of Stalin and Bierut , on a revolutionary ethos and on the vision of accelerated progress, thanks to which Poland was to catch up with and then overtake Western countries in terms of living standards. As history has shown, these methods did not work in the long term, and even if many of them could only be used in the short term. Bierut and Stalin turned out to be guilty of "distortions and errors", the fascination with the social revolution had died down, and the Stalinist modernization resulted in an increase in the production of tanks and locomotives, but a decrease in the standard of living.
For 45 years of People's Poland, nationalism became an official ideology and remained its living element. In the darkest period of Stalinism, in 1951, Bierut quoted Dmowski several times in a speech at a party plenum. Anti-Semitism played an important role in the internal party games both in 1956 and in March 1968. In both cases, "purging the party of Zionists and cosmopolitans" opened up career paths for new party cadres who felt frustrated and underappreciated ("Let the Aryan cadres grow" - said Prime Minister Cyrankiewiczat one of the meetings of the Politburo in May 1956). The government also tried - sometimes successfully - to win anti-Semitic moods in society: it was common to suggest "non-Polish origin" of KOR members in the 1970s or to show anti-Semitic banners at rallies in March. The authorities of the People's Republic of Poland tried to convince Poles that it was a "purely Polish" government, and its members were patriots and "true Poles". A long road led from Rosa Luxemburg to the Moczarowski "partisans" and the Grunwald association, but the party passed it quickly. The party, through its propaganda and policy towards national minorities, shaped a xenophobic, ethnic, and not civic, national community, not only closed to the world, but hostile to it.
As you can see, the relationship between the extreme right and the totalitarian left was not incidental at all. Finally, it is worth adding that one of the prominent activists of the Lodz National Rebirth of Poland in the late nineties, a certain Ryszard Walczak, was an officer of the communist security apparatus during the times of the Polish People's Republic. Walczak was once arrested on charges of preparing an attack on the Łódź synagogue, and then removed from the NOP during one of the purges.
In short, Polish nationalists do not have the moral right to stand up for the victims of communism, because their then ideological leaders actively supported this regime to an amazing degree, and many of them found themselves comfortable in the structures of the power apparatus of the Polish People's Republic.
Anyway, despite official anti-communism, some nationalist groups to this day more or less officially cooperate with communist or even post-communist circles.
FLIRT OF NATIONALISTS WITH COMMUNISTS AFTER THE FALL OF PRL
In the 90s, the popularity of the so-called The National Rock Scene was won by the Krakow band Sztorm 68 . The team preached radical nationalist and socialist slogans. There are strong anti-Zionist and anti-American threads in his work . The band is considered controversial even by some nationalists, because in their works they praised the PRL system , defended the decision to introduce martial law or adored Saddam Hussein . In interviews, the members praised the actions of the Grunwald Patriotic Union and recognized Mieczysław Moczar as an authority.- activist of the PRL period, agent of the intelligence service of the USSR and the initiator of the anti-Zionist (and in fact anti-Semitic) campaign of the campaign in March '68. And so one of the most popular nationalist bands sang that on the night of December 13 "all troublemakers were arrested, the entire Semitic clique fell into the net" and that "today we thank our boys for bravely defending us against the plague of anarchy and Jewry bravely our ailing country ”. In another song, the band sings that “There will never be enough bullets for the traitors. People's militia will exercise power, take care of order and moral order, watch over the earth in order to be able to build a national-socialist country in peace ”. This is not a surprise, because after a few summer break, the band released an album in 2004 together with the Lublin band The Gits.. Their musical partners from Lublin in the nineties were better known as musicians of the band Surowa Generacja. They performed under both names at secret concerts organized by the neo-Nazi organization Blood & Honor . One of such concerts, which took place in 1997 near Lublin, was captured on video in the documentary film " Skin Or Die " directed by Daniel Schweizer. The relationship of the nationalists with the neo-Nazi milieu is also not surprising. T-shirts or patches of leading neo-Nazi bands - both Polish, such as Honor , Konkwista 88 (where the numbers are the acronym of Heil Hitler), or foreign ones, such as Skrewdriver (whose leaderIan Stuart Donaldson was a co-founder of Blood & Honor and the terrorist faction Combat 18 - where numbers are an acronym for Adolf Hitler) to this day can be seen on participants of nationalist demonstrations.
In the 1990s, Bolesław Tejkowski , a former member of the Polish United Workers' Party and leader of the Polish National Community (one of the main nationalist organizations of that period), sent an official letter of support for the policy of the communist government of the People's Republic of China.
Two years ago, Falanga - an organization founded by Bartosz Bekier , the former leader of the Warsaw ONR, entered into an alliance with the Maoists from the Communist Revolutionary Left under the guise of fighting capitalism (now known as the Kazimierz Mijal Red Guard Organization). It is the milieu of the most virulent, totalitarian communists who consider the greatest achievement in the development of communism in the world to be the great proletarian cultural revolution organized by the leader of the People's Republic of China, Mao Tse Tung. The leader of this milieu, Michał Nowicki, is the rare case of a person with official accusations for promoting the criminal practices of communism. He called for the introduction of Bolshevism in Poland by way of a revolution, he urged to celebrate the death of Polish soldiers in the Middle East, he called for the hanging of politicians, to finish off the bourgeoisie, and even praised the authors of the Katyn massacre. The initiative for the Falanga agreement and the Revolutionary Communist Left came from the former. The joint actions of the OCG and the Falanga include, among others, a demonstration against NATO on the anniversary of the Washington Treaty. The nationalist milieu was in turmoil, but favorable voices could be heard from the portal nacjonalista.pl (the main portal of the NOPat). While it is not difficult to see that the term "Maoists" does not pass the nationalists' mouths, they instead use the euphemism of "social revolutionists."
On May 14, 1999, a joint anti-NATO demonstration of the All-Polish Youth and the Union of Polish Communists "Proletariat" took place at the former Monument of Gratitude to Soviet Soldiers . Daniel Pawłowiec , a member of the All-Polish Youth, a member of the League of Polish Families, a former journalist of Nasz Dziennik, set out at this demonstration . As a deputy of the fifth term of office, he fought to abolish the communist May 1 holiday, demanded that the head of the Ministry of Interior and Administration prosecute young people displaying the image of Che Guevara. Which is so strange that a few years earlier, open cooperation with communists did not bother him.
Members of the Association for Culture and Tradition "Niklot" (which is against, inter alia, "mixing cultures, languages, nations and races") - Igor Górewicz , Mateusz Piskorski and Marcin Martynowski were members of the Szczecin Self-Defense authorities and ran for the local government. - I am a traditionalist nationalist - said Piskorski about himself in one of the interviews. The same man became the "number one" on the list of the Polish Labor Party-August 80in the suburbs of Warsaw. A party that claims to be "the only true left in Poland." The weekly "Wprost" presented the figure of the current PPP-August 80 candidate: "Piskorski has been involved politically and socially for a long time. At the beginning, he was active in the fascist skinhead magazine "National Socialism", in which he was praised, among others, by Hitler and fascism. The magazine launched the underground Volk publishing house, of which - let us add - Piskorski was one of the bosses. “In the 1990s, Piskorski was the publisher of the nationalist magazine Odala"Which promoted the fight against" foreign to our race "doctrines, such as Christianity, liberalism and Marxism, and exploring the secrets of esoteric National Socialism and primitive Paganism." Another magazine published by Piskorski, "Odala", in which Piskorski advertised music bands Absurd and Burzum, was of a similar extreme right-wing character.whose leaders are serving sentences in German and Norwegian prisons for the murders of ideological "enemies" - acquaintances who did not accept Nazi views. The magazine was enriched with numerous bold quotes from Adolf Hitler (eg "Everything that is not of a good race is garbage"). " Piskorski's writing is also famous for denying the Holocaust. A group of young people who functioned as National Socialists in Szczecin in the mid-1990s was associated with the "Odala" magazine. Later, they began to establish cooperation with other organizations, incl. The Social and National Union . It was them who founded the Szczecin branch of the Neopagan Association for Tradition and Culture "Niklot" .
This year, the Lodz All-Polish Youth, in partnership with the local ONR brigade, organized a meeting in the series of the National Information Academy. One of the main faces of the lectures was Józef Kossecki , known as the deputy and then successor of Stanisław Tymiński as the head of Party X (in fact Party X Polish Patriots). During the Polish People's Republic he cooperated with the SB, and from 1983 he was responsible for propaganda in the "Grunwald" Patriotic Union.
Autonomous Nationalists also use "leftist" models. Toruń Autonomous Nationalists from the North Active on the banner they use during demonstrations have the slogans "Community, Nationalism, Socialism". This year, the circles of the Autonomous Nationalists took advantage of the "communist" holiday of May 1, hated by the nationalists, and organized their own May Day parade in Warsaw. Autonomous Nationalists are trying to promote themselves on anti-capitalist slogans, criticism of globalism - that is, slogans so far associated with the left-wing hated by nationalists or the so-called leftists. Interestingly, during the demonstrations, they are accompanied by a former member of the PIS, currently the president of the Union of National Soldiers of the Armed Forces (although he was not a NSZ soldier) Artur Zawisza, best known today as one of the godfathers of the Independence March and the newly formed National Movement. The community of Autonomous Nationalists is characterized by the greatest spontaneity within the developing nationalist movement in Poland. They owe their dynamic development, among others, to numerous international contacts, enabling the use of the experience of their comrades from the Czech Republic, Italy, Ukraine and Germany. The very idea of Autonomous Nationalism is the idea of Thomas Wulff , currently one of the leading politicians of the anti-Polish, German NPD party - political heirs of the NSDAP . The anti-Polish roots of this idea do not bother the Autonomous Nationalists themselves, just like the NOPThey also cooperate with Ukrainian nationalists from the party All-Ukrainian Union Svoboda (formerly the Social-Nationalist Party of Ukraine) who openly praise the UPA and the figure of Stepan Bandera , and bear the coat of arms of the 2nd SS Panzer Division "Das Reich" in their logo .
As you can see, nationalists, despite what they shout loudly on December 13, on the streets, got along very well with the authorities of the Polish People's Republic, and after changing the system, they also collaborated with theoretically hated communists, or they used left-wing rhetoric or slogans themselves. History has already shown many times how brown is drawn to red ... But what should be surprising? Both are united by totalitarian impulses ...
NOT TO THE LEFT ... OR TO THE RIGHT ... STRAIGHT! ANTI-FASHION!

They owe their dynamic development, among others, to numerous international contacts, enabling the use of the experience of their comrades from the Czech Republic, Italy, Ukraine and Germany. The very idea of Autonomous Nationalism is the idea of Thomas Wulff , currently one of the leading politicians of the anti-Polish, German NPD party - political heirs of the NSDAP . The anti-Polish roots of this idea do not bother the Autonomous Nationalists themselves, just like the NOPThey also cooperate with Ukrainian nationalists from the party All-Ukrainian Union Svoboda (formerly the Social-Nationalist Party of Ukraine) who openly praise the UPA and the figure of Stepan Bandera , and bear the coat of arms of the 2nd SS Panzer Division "Das Reich" in their logo .
As you can see, nationalists, despite what they shout loudly on December 13, on the streets, got along very well with the authorities of the Polish People's Republic, and after changing the system, they also collaborated with theoretically hated communists, or they used left-wing rhetoric or slogans themselves. History has already shown many times how brown is drawn to red ... But what should be surprising? Both are united by totalitarian impulses ...
NOT TO THE LEFT ... OR TO THE RIGHT ... STRAIGHT! ANTI-FASHION!
