A quarter of a century after the end of the Second World War, shots were fired again and people were killed in Gdansk, the very place where the war started. This time, deadly force was used by the communist police and soldiers to suppress workers’ protests against a rise in prices announced just before Christmas in December 1970. From Gdansk the revolt spread to other port cities of Szczecin, Gdynia and Elbląg. Several dozen were shot dead and over one thousand wounded. The scale of the protests forced Moscow to change the communist leaders who governed Poland since 1956.

"We need much more time for the differences caused by “the Iron Curtain” to fade away. In this sense, we can still speak of Europe divided into two blocs."
