Завой надясно. Полският политически пейзаж през първото десетилетие на XXI век.
Right Turn. The Landscape of Polish Politics in the First Decade of the Twenty-First Century

Summary/Abstract: Jarosław Kaczyński, speaking at a rally of his supporters on November 1 2006 at the Gdańsk Shipyard, the cradle of the Solidarity movement twenty-five years ago, said that ‘we stay where we stood then, while they stay where the ZOMO stood.’ By ‘we’ he meant his party, Law and Justice (PiS), and the government he heads, and by ‘they’ – all those who are his opponents. ZOMO, of course, is the acronym of the infamous communist riot police, one of the symbols of martial law introduced in 1981 to suppress Solidarity. Kaczyński’s statement provoked cries of protest from many of the former anti-communist opposition members who now disagree with the PiS and who thought Kaczyński had gone too far, but that did not seem to detract him. In fact, he specialises in using strong words and categorical judgements to describe and attack his opponents, and his close collaborators follow with zeal.
