Summary
Rakowski’s journalism and political activity in 1958–1990 From the moment he became the editor-in-chief for “Polityka” until he took positions in the communist government of the Polish People’s Republic, Mieczysław Rakowski vigorously commented on international affairs. He was mainly interested in German affairs and ideological struggle between communism and capitalism. The position of the editor-in-chief in “Polityka” and the presiding of the Polish Journalists Association provided Rakowski with access to the top management of the party and government in the Polish People’s Republic, including the Polish leader Władysław Gomułka. In the light of his consecutive articles in “Polityka” in reaction to events in Poland and abroad, we can see the confirmation of Rakowski’s dedication to the party-drawn political lines
