Pod Prąd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pod Prąd ('Against the current') was a Polish weekly Marxist newspaper published between 1934 and 1936, issued by dissidents from the Communist Party of Poland that turned against the Soviet Union.[1][2][3][4] The newspaper was founded by Andrzej Stawar [pl].[1][4] The other main figure in the Pod Prąd venture was Roman Jabłonowski [pl].[5] The newspaper was sold openly in the 1930s and wasn't confiscated.[1]

Even though Pod Prad operated on the margins of the Communist Party, the publication had a profound influence over the intellectuals of the party.[2]
