The author identifies and reconstructs mechanisms and premises of the ideological failure of the analysed attempt, at the same time indicating and explaining areas of limited (but real) success of Jaszowiec as a leisure design for inhabitants of People’s Poland. Thus analysed complex became a kind of ‘anti-model’ of a socialist construction.
