Bright Days of Tomorrow (1945-1956)
- 1988 ----- color ----- 57 min ----- vhs
- (Struggles for Poland series, Part 6) Following the war, Polish communists and the Soviet Army set out to convert Poland under the banner of the Polish Worker's Party. Deftly removing opposition with electoral fraud and terror, the communists rose to power, led by Boleslaw Bierut and Wladyslaw Gomulka. Traces the tumultuous period from 1945 to 1956 as Polish leaders attempted to create a new state called "The People's Republic of Poland." Forced into the Cold War along with the rest of Eastern Europe, Poland followed a pattern associated with Stalinism that has been repeated in many of the eastern bloc countries: a Soviet-style Six-Year Plan, party propaganda and repression and imprisonment for dissent.
