Abstract

In October of 1956, the Polish People’s Republic went through a serious political crisis, which was partially caused by rivalry between fractions in the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers’ Party. The events in Warsaw influenced the lower party structures, namely the voivodeship committees. In the October period, the Lublin Voivodeship Committee of the Polish United Workers Party experienced turmoil and staff rotation. The text shows the processes that took place in the local center of power of the Lubelskie Voivodeship. It concerns personnel changes in the executive and the position of the first secretary. The analysis of the October events also takes into account characteristics of the processes that took place on the political map of Lublin.
