Writers, Literature and Censorship in Poland. 1948–1958

Abstract

Since 1944 the official name of the Polish state was Polska Ludowa (People's Poland). The name Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa (People's Republic of Poland; PRL) was in use from 1952 until 1989. However, in many unofficial statements, as well as official ones, such as censors' reviews, the older shorter name continued to be used.
