The Prime Minister of Change

By: Aleksander Hall

“The major changes which took place in Poland in 1989 contributed to the awaking of the “fall of nations” in other Central and Eastern European countries. As prime minister, Tadeusz Mazowiecki began the mission of building democracy in a situation where practically the entire state apparatus was rooted in the previous totalitarian system.”

By: Krzysztof Czyżewski

“We are now at the beginning of a long process. We may still not know the masterpieces of adeep culture, but we can already feel that it is not the breaking of taboos that is limiting the freedom of an individual. It is, thus, culture that answers the challenge of solidarity and is becoming a sign of our times.”

By: Jakub Parusinski

“After declaring victory with 54 per cent of the vote, Petro Poroshenko now faces the challenge of boldly reforming Ukraine, rooting out corruption while at the same time calming a separatist rebellion in the east. All of this will be done under the distrustful watch of Ukraine’s post-Maidan public.”

After only half a year, bilateral relations made a 180-degree shift. Russia was unanimously judged by the Polish elite as the number one threat to Poland’s security.”
