Reinterpretacja tradycji Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej jako element ideologizacji polityki wobec książki w Polsce lat 1944-1956

Negative assessments of the pre-war book situation were used as justification for some of the changes in this field made in 1945-1956. The reference to a deliberately distorted picture of the book’s situation in the Second Polish Republic intensified during the most revolutionary changes in this respect, the essence of which was bureaucratic planning, etatization and control of the processes of its issuing, production, sale and distribution. The problem that requires further research is the answer to the question of how the arguments used in „blackening” the image of book affairs in the Second Polish Republic could be convincing for those to whom they were directed.
