“DEMOCRACY BROUGHT US FREEDOM, BUT ALSO THE RESPONSABILITY FOR OUR OWN LIVES”. Interview with Adam Michnik

Summary/Abstract: Adam Michnik is one of the main figures of the anti-communist fight in Poland, being the exponent of the intellectual wing of the resistance. Also, Michnik played an essential part during the round table discussions that led to the liberalization, first partial and later total, of the Polish political system. His open opposition towards the resistance got him arrested several times, spending a total of six years in the communist Polish prisons. Today, Adam Michnik is leading Gazeta Wyborcza, the most successful daily newspaper in the entire post-communist space. During his stay in Cluj, where he was invited by the Ratiu Democracy Center, which gave him the Ion Ratiu Award for Democracy in 2009, Adam Michnik gave an interview for Europolis.
