Summary/Abstract: The so-called “the Cultural Revolution” or “fight for culture” was one of the most important slogans of the People’s Republic of Poland equally concerning between the cities and countryside. This meant supporting and promoting the artistic groups, the widespread built libraries and reading points, community centres and cinemas. The official goals of such activities were to encourage readership, fighting with illiteracy and others. However, cultural centres and related cultural events have been primarily created with propaganda purposes. Therefore, the content of performances, films or library collections were censored.
