Roman Zambrowski. A biography of a communist – sources and research methodology

Summary/Abstract: The example of the biography of Roman Zambrowski is used to highlight the troubles with recreating the story and views of the Polish communist. First of all, the base of sources for such work must be characterised, especially the Comintern archives, memoirs and personal accounts. Discussing the specific content of Polish communists’ personal files drawn up in Moscow is essential. Moreover, I will also discuss the biography as a pretext to outline the political environment, i.e. a group of communist activists from the “Polish Communist Party generation”, through the perspective of Zambrowski’s life.
