Listen "The Solidarity Movement"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we explore one of the most pivotal moments in the decline of communism in Eastern Europe: the rise of the Solidarity movement in Poland. Born from the struggle of workers in Gdańsk, this labor union evolved into a political force that not only helped topple communism in Poland but also inspired movements across the globe. Join us as we take a deep dive into how Solidarity became a symbol of hope and defiance against the iron grip of Soviet-backed totalitarianism.
