An attractive album features photomontages and photographs
(black-and-white and colored) depicting young people of communist
Poland. The edition was published in six versions – in French, English,
Russian, Chinese, German and Polish languages - on the occasion of the
Third World Youth Festival in Berlin.
Supported by propaganda, the almost official name of the state in 1944-1989 was Polska Ludowa (i.e. People’s Poland). This album
promoted that the Soviet way of life was brought to this country as well.
New universities and schools, pre-school facilities and manufacturing
schools were founded. A man or woman could get whatever profession
they wanted. The factories started socialist competitions and some
Soviet shock-workers advised their foreign colleagues. Polish
organization of young pioneers appeared with summer camps. The new
kind of cultural institution was founded spreading amateur theater, art
and sports clubs - physical education prepared youth to pass GTO tests.
At the same time, numerous competitions were held: football, skiing,
motorcycling, box, etc. All of that occurred during the first 6-year plan,
based on a Soviet model for economic and industrial development.
