Summary/Abstract: The biographical experiences of £ódŸ ‘Solidarity’ activists make the core of the article. The analysis of narrative interviews with the social movement participants allowed for the establishment of characteristic sequence of events and ways of experiencing their engagement in ‘Solidarity’. The interviews also delivered the framework for comparison of their life histories and creating a typology of experiences characteristic for the activists originating in both the working class – and intelligentsia – centered part of the movement. Presentation of the consecutive stages in the narrators’ biographies as a structured process revealed correlations between the social movement dynamics and ways of experiencing own biographies by the activists.
