YEAR OF ISSUE: 1987
ISSUED BY: POCZTA SOLIDARNOSC BIALYSTOCK
CATALOGUE NUMBER: SOLIDAM0144/AJ0207A
ISSUED IN LIGHT OR DARK BROWN ON GLOSSY WHITE CARD PAPER WITH NO GUM (AS ISSUED)

3 VERY ATTRACTIVE STAMPS WITH A VERY INTERESTING AND HISTORICAL AND SATIRICAL THEME OF POLAND´S HISTORY AND THE SO CALL POLISH SOVIET FRIENDSHIP.

UNDER THE COMMUNIST REGIME THERE WAS A LOT OF UNTRUE PROPAGANDA BY THE SOVIET REGIME ABOUT THEIR FRIENDSHIP WITH POLAND. THIS ISSUE DISPELS THE PROPAGANDA AND TELLS THE TRUTH:

1920:
THE SOVIETS WERE AMASSING BY THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS ON THE POLISH BORDER PREPARING TO INVADE. THIS RESULTED IN THE POLISH-SOVIET WAR. THE STAMP ON THE LEFT DEPICTS JOZEF KLEMENS PILSUDSKI WHO WAS POLISH CHIEF OF STATE (1918-22) AND “FIRST MARSHALL” FROM 1920.

1939:
THE CENTRE STAMP DEPICTS THE POLISH EMBLEM – THE EAGLE OF INDEPENDENT POLAND. ALSO SHOWN ARE STALIN AND HITLER WHO SIGNED THE MOLOTOV-RIBBENTROP PACT, OFFICIALLY CALLED THE TREATY OF NON-AGRESSION BETWEEN GERMANY AND THE SOVIET UNION. IN ADDITION TO STIPULATIONS OF NON-AGRESSION IN THE TREATY THERE WAS A SECRET PROTOCOL DIVIDING POLAND (AND ALSO ROMANIA, FINLAND, LITHUANIA, LATVIA, ESTONIA AND FINLAND) INTO GERMAN AND RUSSIAN SPHERES OF INFLUENCE. GERMANY AND THE SOVIET UNION INVADED POLAND ON THE 1ST AND 17TH SEPTEMBER 1939 RESPECTIVELY, DIVIDING THE COUNTRY BETWEEN THEM.

1981:
THE STAMP ON THE RIGHT DEPICTS LECH WALESA THE SOLIDARITY TRADE UNION LEADER WHO EVENTUALLY LED POLAND TO BECOME FREE OF THE COMMUNIST REGIME. HE ALSO WAS LATER AWARDED THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. ALSO SHOWN ARE GEN. JARUZELSKI AND THE SOVIET LEADER LEONID BREZHNEV.
MARSHAL LAW (STAN WOJENNY) WAS DECLARED IN 1981 IN POLAND AND FINISHED IN 1983. THE AUTHORITARIAN COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT DRASTICALLY RESTRICTED NORMAL LIFE IN AN ATTEMPT TO CRUSH THE SOLIDARITY MOVEMENT. THOUSANDS OF SOLIDARITY ACTIVISTS WERE INTERNED WITHOUT CHARGE AND MANY WERE KILLED. THE PLAN TO INTRODUCE MARTIAL LAW WAS PRESENTED TO THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT FOR THEIR AGREEMENT BEFORE IT’S ACTUAL INTRODUCTION.

THIS PROPAGANDA STAMP SET WAS ISSUED BY THE POLISH UNDERGROUND SOLIDARITY MOVEMENT AS A DIVERSIFICATION STATEMENT AGAINST MARTIAL LAW WHICH HAD BEEN DECLARED BY THE COMMUNIST AUTHORITIES IN POLAND. IT IS A VERY RARE AND COLLECTABLE ITEM . THE UNDERGROUND MEMBERS WHO ISSUED THIS STAMP RISKED A LOT, BECAUSE IF CAUGHT THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPRISONED WITHOUT TRIAL. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A UNIQUE PIECE OF HISTORY. IT IS A MUST FOR EVERY SERIOUS HISTORIAN AND COLLECTOR OF THIS PERIOD AND WILL MAKE AN INTERESTING ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION.

General Wojciech Jaruzelski announced the introduction of martial law in a speech first broadcast on radio and television at 6:00 am on December 13, 1981. In order to isolate members of the opposition (from the Solidarity movement), 52 internment centers were created. A total of 10,132 internment orders were issued against 9,736 people during the period of martial law.
