Book description:
Adam Dziuba’s monograph is the third and final volume of the series The time of breakthrough. De-Stalinisation, 1956 and the end of the thaw in the Stalinogród/Katowice Voivodeship (1953–1961) .
The book attempts to describe the direction of the post-October changes in the local political scene, which consisted of a move away from the political thaw and a re-stabilisation of the communist system, although under changed political and social circumstances, allowing e.g. for a wider sphere of citizens’ privacy and less repressive political police.
