SOCIETY FOR ACADEMIC COURSES 1978-1980
This book is divided into two main parts: the first, presented by the publisher as an original monograph, and the second, a collection of documents. The book explores the foundation, operation, and history of a state-independent institution established in communist Poland in January 1978 to defend fundamental human rights, including freedom of conscience, thought, expression, science, and education. This institution was named the Towarzystwo Kursów Naukowych [Society for Academic Courses], referencing the tradition of a similar organisation that existed in partitioned Poland when, during a brief period of liberalisation following the 1905 Revolution, the Russian authorities allowed such an institution to operate legally in the so-called Kingdom of Poland.
