Part 3: Between Workers’ Defence Committee and “Ursus” (1976–1982)

Summary/Abstract: The present article, the third from the cycle presenting Lipski’s professional biography, is still open, and it shows the state authority’s impact on formally independent institutions, which in 1976 blocked Lipski’s scientific promotion and issued threat to remove him from work. The Directors’ working conditions at the Institute at that time were hard, though in spite of that they strived to successfully protect him. Lipski’s imprisonment for many years by the law directly lead to expiry of his employment relationship. Later, supported by Polish scholars, Lipski wanted to return to work at the Institute, unfortunately without success. The fruits of his work as a Polish scholars have been collected to this day.
