Emigracyjny dziennik „Narodowiec” wobec tzw. przełomu październikowego w Polsce
The Emigrant Journal “Narodowiec” in relation to the so-called October Breakthrough in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The most important event during the communist rule in Poland after the Second World War was the so-called October Breakthrough, which took place in 1956. Although the communists remained in power, the previous ruling team with strong ties to the person of Joseph Stalin was somewhat sidelined and replaced by less discred- ited people such as Władysław Gomułka. Poles living in various countries in Europe and around the world watched these changes closely. In France, their main source of knowledge about the world and Poland was the journal “Narodowiec” published by Michał Kwiatkowski. This newspaper followed and reported with great attention on the changes taking place in Poland as a result of the “October Breakthrough”. Its editorial office was enthusiastic about Gomułka, hoping that, like the communist lead- er of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito, he would increase the scope of Poland’s sovereignty in relation to the Soviet Union.
