Summary/Abstract: The article is the first scholarly attempt to sketch a political portrait of Jerzy Łukaszewicz as an activist from the highest circles of the party leaders. On the basis of an archival query and analysis of available sources, the article’s author reconstructs the circumstances that accompanied his nomination as the secretary of propaganda of the Central Committee, and examine selected aspects of Łukaszewicz’s activity in the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers’ Party (PUWP). The text contains my reflections on the secretary’s diverse approach to individual media institutions, or his attitude towards the reform of propaganda model his subordinates wanted to implement in 1975. The author tries to shed light on Łukaszewicz’s political position in the power camp of the era and to present the reasons for his political fall.
