Independent youth press in the years from 1977 to 1990. Selected issues

From the beginning of the emergence of organised forms of opposition in the second half of the 1970’s the young people actively engaged in their activities. In this period, the first independent youth organisations represented by Student Solidarity Committees (SKS) and the Movement of the Young Poland (RMP) were formed very quickly. Along with those structures the first press titles authorised by these environments appeared. After the strikes of August 1980 and the creation of the NSZZ "Solidarity" the youth activated publishing of the independent public press. It bloomed, however, just after the introduction of the martial law in December. The present article presents, in a concise manner, the development of the phenomenon of the youth’s independent publishers in the years 1977 -1990
