first day of spring - March 21, 1988, Tri-City youths of the opposition organizations such as Freedom and Peace, the Federation of Fighting Youth, the Alternative Society Movement and Independent Students' Association decided to celebrate the happening, which was supposed to be the focal point of drowning madder, or puppet of General Jaruzelski. Sopot happening was preceded by numerous arrests of activists WiP, which occurred on March 20. ZOMO however, failed to pacify the same action.
On the first day of spring 1988 on the appointed hour a compact group of young people moved down Sopot promenade. Because of massive forces and riot police in the area of \u200b\u200bpedestrian MO around 100 young people gathered on the beach for the Grand Hotel. SB recorded: "Some of them took out from the plane components, which are assembled dummy dressed up as a leader of the state. As a result of actions taken immediately recovered dummy " . (The report No 109, Gdańsk 21.03.1988 on, the appointing authority IPN Gd Gd 0027/3842, Vol IX, near 78th) . The report cited, see here.
result has been achieved recently in the findings, prepared by the same puppet Gen. Janusz Waluszko with RSA, and Chris Young Figiel of Solidarity. it managed to almost a "miracle" to transport and hide no longer a day earlier in Sopot. I personally took part in this happening and, indeed, Sopot, Poland on this day he was terrorized by militia-wcami. Therefore, puppet itself appeared only on the beach near the Grand Hotel. around puppets we made a wall of bodies, holding up under the armpits and in this way we managed to reach the sea and drown it. Tradition had been done!
Then the militiamen began to storm and piling, previously only watched the action and still went for us. Fished and drowned before effigy of General of the sea. Many people were detained, but too many rescued and escaped towards the bathroom on the beach in Sopot, and then the funicular railway at Stone Brook. I have myself managed to escape, but police officers were chasing us, a few kilometers.
aftermath of this event is not just stopping and colleges. Less lucky was Tadeusz Trotsky, activist FMW (Rumia). he tried to break-wcom militia, in effect, was brutally battered, and the overall struggle hat fell to one of the militiamen. Used this fact to accuse him of "breach of carnality and assault the officer on duty." Conducted the proceedings against him, and then a trial that took even a few months before the District Court in Sopot. Trotsky and the result was a fine and probation.
drowning Jaruzelski puppet, it was loud throughout the Tri-City and even Poland, and that, paradoxically, as a result of repression used by law enforcement authorities against participants in the happening. Sopot informed about the incident including Radio Free Europe. Despite the fact that the communist government has consistently sought to avoid Images' leading personalities of the state " is only exposed the determination and the scale of resistance among the younger generation. Generations, which became the driving force behind the entire opposition.
It is the young generation, not the "old", more and more burnt-out activists, organized in just a month later strikes 1988. in the yard, University of Gdansk and protests in support of the schools. Our work is then slipped out of control not only the communist authorities, but the underground "Solidarity". And that probably we both get scared, leading to the so-called agreement. "Round table".
