Talk:History of Poland (1945–1989)

Request move: History of Poland (1989-present) to Third Polish Republic and so on

See:

• First Polish Republic
• Second Polish Republic
• French Fourth Republic
• French Fifth Republic

Similarily, articles History of Poland (1918-1939), History of Poland (1939-1945), History of Poland (1945-1989) etc. should be moved into articles named: Poland in the Interwar period, Poland in WW2, Poland in the Cold War etc. or perhaps one big "Poland in the 20th century" article should be created along with one for the Third Polish Republic, describing the current regime, how it formed etc. See: France in the 20th century

Grammatically incorrect section

In the first paragraph of the section entitled "Final decade of the Polish People's Republic (1980–1989)", the second sentence is grammatically incorrect and there is no period between it and the third sentence. They read "Western financial companies and institutions providing loans to the regime at a meeting at the Bank Handlowy in Warsaw on 24 April 1980 The bankers made it clear that the state could no longer subsidize artificially low prices of consumer goods."

I believe they are meant to read something along the lines of this: Bankers from Western financial companies and institutions providing loans to the regime, at a meeting at the Bank Handlowy in Warsaw on 24 April 1980, made it clear that the state could no longer subsidize artificially low prices of consumer goods.

I do not have editing privileges for this article so I am hoping someone can correct this section. Mailalan (talk) 17:02, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

FAR needed

This article is far too long to be an FA, at 17,000 words, and has several tags and unsourced sentences and paragraphs. Unless someone wants to fix this the article is going to be nominated for a featured article review. 750h+ 17:12, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

• @750h+: I see that there have been few edits to the article since your notice. Do you still have these concerns? If so, would you like to nominate this for WP:FAR? Z1720 (talk) 21:45, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Absolutely absurd claims in the Last Years section

I simply cannot understand the audacity it takes to attempt to repaint a movement which overthrew a dictatorship and created a democracy as "sharing the goals" of the regime it destroyed and of suddenly ceasing to be a movement of the people and being entirely defined by "elites" at the exact same time that it started advocating overtly for the end of the communist rule that had oppressed Poland for fifty years. This article has been heavily defaced by one or more users trying to rewrite history to paint Solidarity as villains for what they had always done: oppose communism. Revisionist history should not be tolerated on a site that is meant to be an impartial, encyclopedic repository of information. General Lemarc (talk) 07:18, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

Poland did not experience an improvement in standard of living under communuist rule. Communists actually lowered atandard of living for the polish people. The apartments were poorly maintained, the factories produced shit, etc. This website, we call, Wikipedia has been infiltrated wtih woke leftists. This madness from Wikipedia has to stop immediately. ~2026-18300-02 (talk) 13:37, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
