On this day in 1980, Poland exploded when representatives of the communist government of Poland agreed to the demands of striking shipyard workers in the city of Gdansk.
It was the beginning of the end for the USSR. The whole system collapsed of its own weight at the end of 1991.
We remember those Polish workers, along with the Hungarians of 1956 and the Czechs of 1968. They were anti-communist heroes of the 20th century.
