Zamknięcie „Przeglądu Kulturalnego” i otwarcie „Kultury” w 1963 roku – sukces moczarowców w ich walce o wpływy w środowisku inteligencji
Closing the weekly Przegląd Kulturalny and opening a new magazine Kultura in 1963 – the success of the Moczar’s group in their fight for influence in the intellectual environment

Summary/Abstract: The weekly Przegląd Kulturalny, distinguishing itself from other socio-cultural magazines by, essentially, a much wider range of topics, became a tasty morsel for one of the political factions within the party. In order to take over the magazine, at first the faction had to undermine Władysław Gomułka’s confidence in the editor of Przegląd Kulturalny and prove that the involvement of the paper in promoting the affairs of the party was insufficient. The aim was achieved when the weekly was closed in June 1963. The article describes the last two years of its operation and reveals the backstage actions to close the periodical. The authorities decided, despite strong objection of the literary circles, to combine the two popular weeklies: Przegląd Kulturalny and Nowa Kultura, which in practice, however, meant that the two of them were closed, and replaced by a new, submissive to the state authorities, weekly Kultura.
