Abstract
Evolution in the Soviet bloc was never expected to be like this. Free elections to a Senate and guaranteed seats for the opposition in the Sejm, the relegalization of Solidarity and the legalization of much of the underground press, guaranteed access to radio and TV and permission for the opposition to start its own daily newspaper, equal treatment of public and private sectors and a commitment to marketization of the economy — the changes that have swept over Poland these last months are truly epoch-making. Poland is now on its way to establishing a multiparty, neo-corporatist market system, in which opposition parties compete for influence in a state formally run by a Leninist party (albeit one with fewer and fewer principles to defend).
