The most radical and uncompromising anticommunist organisation of the 1980’s. Those who later formed Fighting Solidarity at the beginning acted as members of Solidarity. It was only after 1979, the year when Kornel Morawiecki took over “Biuletyn Dolnośląski” that they started gradually forming a separate group within the organisation. After the introduction of the martial law, some of the members of “Solidarity” who worked closely with Morawiecki did not agree with the leaders of the underground Solidarity regarding their strategy, which is why in June 1982 they founded their own organisation and called it “Fighting Solidarity”.
Since the very beginning Fighting Solidarity promoted the idea of entirely removing communists from power. Similarly to other independent organisations it had its own publishing house and printed a large number of brochures, books and periodicals (including “Fighting Solidarity” and “Lower Silesia Solidarity”). They organised protests and street demonstrations. Apart from propaganda activity, what really made them stand out from the other underground groups was their intelligence and counterintelligence actions aimed against the Security Service and the militia. They also supported other oppositional groups outside of Poland, by publishing in the Soviet Union area in Russian, Ukrainian and Czech.
