The article discusses the functioning of selected organizations that described themselves as
political parties in the Polish People’s Republic. In the introduction, it sketches the picture of
“closing” the political system in Poland after World War II. It shows the initiatives aiming at
reconstruction of the political parties that worked legally in the period of the Second Polish
Republic and the outcome of their activities. Then, it discusses the history of the Confederation
of Independent Poland, the first party since Mikołajczyk’s Polish People’s Party that defined
itself as a political party. The next element is presentation of selected examples of initiatives
undertaken during the existence of the Independent Self-governing Trade Union “Solidarity”
that aimed at the creation of political parties. Then, the article discusses organizations that
were created after the imposition of the martial law, such as the Polish Independence Party
or the Polish Socialist Party. In all cases, the programme goals are described and the leaders
of the created “parties” are presented. The article ends with a short attempt of summing
up the activities of the discussed organizations and bitter ascertainment that none of them
participated in the government after 1989.
