Abstract

Fighting Youth Federation in Gdansk belonged to the most important anti-communist resistance organizations in the second half of the twentieth century. It was established in 1984 in Warsaw and until 1990 it developed its activities in over a dozen centers throughout Poland. One of the most vigorous centers of the organization operated in Tri-city. Among many dimensions of its independent activities, publishing comes to the fore. Two regional Fighting Youth Federation’s press titles and several dozens of school magazines were published in Gdansk, Sopot, Gdynia and throughout the region. The activation process of the youth environment in this regard, an attempt of its assessment and evaluation of the impact which involvement in the underground publishing movement had on the journalistic activities of some Fighting Youth Federation activists after 1990, were all presented in this paper.
