The Solidarity period enabled her to shed fresh light on the politics of the 1945-70 era. Jakub Berman, Edward Ochab, Stefan Staszewski, Roman Werfel and Julia Minc all belonged to the team sent to Poland by Stalin to help build his new order, Soviet-style. All five were prewar communists who believed communism was the wave of the future. All except Staszewski continued to believe it, despite the post-1945 horrors. Toranska recorded what they told her about Poland's new order and in particular about the impact of the 1956 denunciation of Stalin, the 1968 anti-Semitic drive and Walesa's denunciation of a system which has failed to deliver what the people want. There are several gems: Berman's account of the Kremlin stag party at which he danced with Molotov and Stalin wound the gramophone; Ochab's story of his early contacts with the Chinese preparing to break with Moscow; Staszewski's tale of Khrushchev saying that Bierut's fatal heart-attack had been brought on by Staszewski's reports on the 1956 revelations. Toranska ably seized her opportunity to record these insiders' tales. N° de réf. du vendeur 002702
