Summary/Abstract: Tygodnik Mazowsze, an illegal periodical of the opposition concentrated around the then-banned “Solidarity” trade union, was one of the most important opinion-forming magazines during the martial law and the years that followed (1982-1989). It was available throughout Poland. Its circulation would reach even few thousand copies. The weekly served as a platform for discussion and polemics on the most important issues for the opposition at the time: the organizational model, the role of the Catholic Church, the attitude towards the communist government. It was also a forum where many different concepts of what the activities of the banned “Solidarity” trade union should look like clashed.
