Summary/Abstract: With aim to promote its political agendas and acquiring support the political opposition attempted to publish various types of journals. Such initiative was also taken by the democratic opposition activists who formed the Bratniak magazine at the end of 1977. The first issue of Bratniak came out in Gdańsk on 1st October 1977. A total number of thirty Bratniak issues of various volumes was published. The axiological pillar of the Bratniak’s cycle was Catholicism. National values, including Catholic ones, were supported. The reflection upon the nation, its essence, future and prospects for growth was a part of broader thought of the Bratniak’s cycle. The cycle drew from experience and tradition of the National Democratic Movement created at the end of the 19th century, and saw itself as the follower of the movement’s values.
