- Title
CITIZENS OF COMMUNIST POLAND AS 'SMALL INDIVIDUALISTS'.
- Authors
Jarosz, Dariusz
- Abstract
The article discusses Polish citizens' adaptation to Poland's post-World War II transition to a communist state, the People's Republic of Poland (PRL), through the use of the concept of small individualism, in which individuals living in an authoritarian climate can exercise personal liberty and resist authority despite adherence to collectivist ideology. The author explains how this individualism was exercised in relation to the PRL's social insurance system, its policy on passports, and housing cooperatives.
