W sierpniu 1980 roku, po lipcowych protestach robotników w zakładach pracy w Lublinie i Świdniku, wybuchła fala strajków w tysiącach zakładów w całej Polsce. Te wydarzenia były bezpośrednią przyczyną podpisania porozumień sierpniowych (31 sierpnia) i powstania NSZZ „Solidarność” - pierwszej w krajach bloku sowieckiego niezależnej od władzy, legalnej organizacji związkowej. Statut Związku został przyjęty 17 września. NSZZ "Solidarność" został zarejestrowany przez Sąd Najwyższy 10 listopada. Związek zrzeszał blisko 10 milionów członków, czyli 80 procent pracowników w Polsce. Zapraszamy do słuchania podcastów poświęconych historii NSZZ Solidarność.

Dumas's 'Celebrated Crimes' was not written for children. The novelist has spared no language--has minced no words--to describe the violent scenes of a violent time. In some instances facts appear distorted out of their true perspective, and in others the author makes unwarranted charges. The careful, mature reader, for whom the books are intended, will recognize, and allow for, this fact. (from publisher's note) The first volume comprises the annals of the Borgias and the Cenci. The name of the noted and notorious Florentine family has become a synonym for intrigue and violence, and yet the Borgias have not been without stanch defenders in history. Another famous Italian story is that of the Cenci. The beautiful Beatrice Cenci--celebrated in the painting of Guido, the sixteenth century romance of Guerrazi, and the poetic tragedy of Shelley, not to mention numerous succeeding works inspired by her hapless fate—will always remain a shadowy figure and one of infinite pathos. (from Introduction)

In the grand tapestry of human history, the tale of military ballooning stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of innovation and the ceaseless pursuit of advantage on the battlefield. From the earliest days of the French Revolution to the modern era of psychological warfare, these seemingly simple devices have played a role that is as varied as it is crucial. They have served as sentinels in the sky, as defensive bulwarks, as instruments of propaganda, and as vehicles for long-range attacks. The story of military ballooning is one of ingenuity, courage, and the enduring human fascination with the possibilities of flight. The dawn of military ballooning can be traced back to the tumultuous years of the French Revolutionary Wars. In 1794, as the young French Republic fought for its very survival against a coalition of European monarchies, a group of visionary officers proposed a novel solution to the age-old problem of battlefield reconnaissance. Under the leadership of Captain Jean-Marie-Joseph Coutelle, the French army established the Compagnie d'Aérostiers, the world's first military balloon unit. The concept was as simple as it was revolutionary. By filling a silk balloon with hydrogen gas, Coutelle and his men could ascend to heights previously unimaginable, offering generals a bird's-eye view of the battlefield below. The tactical advantages were immediate and profound. For the first time in history, commanders could observe enemy movements and dispositions with unprecedented clarity, giving them a critical edge in the chaos of battle. The Compagnie d'Aérostiers saw action in several key engagements of the Revolutionary Wars, including the Battle of Fleurus in 1794. There, a tethered balloon dubbed l'Entreprenant (The Enterprising) ascended above the battlefield, relaying vital intelligence to the French commanders below. The information proved decisive, enabling the French to outmaneuver their Austrian opponents and secure a critical victory. The success of the French aerostatic corps did not go unnoticed by other nations. As the 19th century unfolded, military powers across Europe and beyond began to experiment with balloons as tools of war. Yet it was not until the American Civil War that the potential of military ballooning was fully realized. Enter Thaddeus Lowe, a brilliant and eccentric American aeronaut who would become the father of U.S. military ballooning. Born in New Hampshire in 1832, Lowe had been fascinated by the possibilities of flight since childhood. When the Civil War erupted in 1861, he saw an opportunity to put his skills to use in service of the Union cause. Lowe's vision was grand and ambitious. He proposed the creation of a dedicated Balloon Corps, a unit that would use tethered balloons to provide real-time reconnaissance and artillery spotting for the Union Army. Despite initial skepticism from some quarters, Lowe managed to win the support of President Abraham Lincoln himself. With presidential backing, the Balloon Corps was born. Over the course of the war, Lowe and his team of intrepid aeronauts would ascend into the skies above some of the most famous battlefields of the conflict, from Fair Oaks to Fredericksburg. Equipped with telescopes and telegraph wires, they would relay critical intelligence on Confederate positions and movements, often in the face of enemy fire. The impact of Lowe's Balloon Corps on the course of the Civil War is difficult to overstate. The intelligence gathered by these aerial observers played a key role in several Union victories, and helped to shape the tactics and strategy of the conflict. Yet despite their successes, the Balloon Corps was disbanded at the end of the war, a victim of budget cuts and shifting priorities. The story of military ballooning might have ended there, were it not for the cataclysm of the First World War. As Europe descended into the horrors of trench warfare, both the Allies and the Central Powers turned once again to the balloon as a tool of reconnaissance and artillery spotting. The balloons of World War I were a far cry from the simple silk envelopes of the Civil War era. These were massive, elongated structures, filled with highly flammable hydrogen gas and tethered to the ground with steel cables. They were nicknamed "sausages" due to their distinctive shape, and they soon became a ubiquitous sight above the battlefields of Europe. From their lofty perches, the observers in these balloons had an unparalleled view of the conflict unfolding below. Equipped with binoculars, maps, and telegraph keys, they would relay vital information about enemy troop movements, artillery positions, and fortifications. This intelligence was used to guide the massive artillery barrages that became the hallmark of trench warfare, raining down destruction on enemy lines with brutal efficiency. Yet the life of a balloon observer was fraught with peril. Tethered and immobile, the sausage balloons made tempting targets for enemy fighter pilots, who would swoop down from above, guns blazing, in an attempt to send them plummeting to earth in flames. Many observers lost their lives in these aerial duels, their sacrifices a testament to the courage and determination of those who took to the skies in defense of their nations. As the war ground on, the use of balloons evolved and expanded. Both sides began to employ free-floating balloons, capable of drifting long distances to drop propaganda leaflets or even bombs behind enemy lines. These early attempts at strategic bombing, though limited in their impact, hinted at the shape of wars to come. With the end of World War I, the role of the balloon in warfare once again faded into the background. But as the world plunged into the abyss of a second global conflict, the balloon would find new and unexpected uses. In the dark days of the London Blitz, as German bombers rained destruction on the British capital, a new type of balloon rose to the city's defense. These were the barrage balloons, massive silver orbs tethered with steel cables and designed to force enemy planes to higher altitudes, reducing their accuracy and exposing them to anti-aircraft fire. Floating serenely above the rooftops and spires of London, the barrage balloons became a symbol of British resilience in the face of adversity. They were not a perfect defense - many bombers simply flew around them - but they provided a crucial psychological boost to a beleaguered population. Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, the Japanese military was experimenting with a far more sinister use of balloons. In a desperate attempt to strike at the American mainland, they launched thousands of balloon bombs, dubbed "Fu-Go," across the Pacific Ocean. Carried by the jet stream, these ingenious devices were designed to drop incendiary bombs on the forests of the American West, sparking massive wildfires and sowing terror in the hearts of civilians. Though the Fu-Go campaign ultimately proved ineffective, it stands as a chilling reminder of the potential for long-range, asymmetric warfare using even the most rudimentary of technologies. In the decades following World War II, as the Cold War cast its long shadow across the globe, the role of the balloon in military operations continued to evolve. High-altitude spy balloons, equipped with sophisticated cameras and sensors, became a key tool in the arsenals of the superpowers. Floating silently at the edge of space, these balloons gathered critical intelligence on enemy activities, providing a vital supplement to the satellite reconnaissance that would come to dominate the era. Yet even as technology advanced, the fundamental simplicity and versatility of the balloon remained its greatest strength. In conflicts around the world, from the jungles of Vietnam to the deserts of the Middle East, balloons continued to find use as platforms for observation, communication, and psychological warfare. Which brings us to the present day, and the strange case of the North Korean garbage balloons. In a world of drones, satellites, and cyber warfare, it is perhaps surprising to see such a crude tactic employed on the international stage. Yet the incident serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring utility of the balloon as a tool of conflict. For all their simplicity, balloons possess a unique ability to capture the imagination and to provoke strong emotional responses. The sight of a foreign object drifting unchallenged across one's borders, even if it carries nothing more than a load of trash, is a potent symbol of vulnerability and a blow to national pride. In this sense, the garbage balloons of North Korea are merely the latest chapter in a long history of psychological warfare waged by air. As we reflect on the legacy of military ballooning, it is clear that these humble devices have played a role in human conflict that far outstrips their simple origins. From the observation balloons of the French Revolutionary Wars to the spy balloons of the Cold War, they have served as tools of reconnaissance, communication, defense, and attack. They have shaped the course of battles, the fates of nations, and the very nature of warfare itself. Yet the story of military ballooning is not merely one of technological innovation and strategic advantage. It is also a profoundly human story, one that speaks to the enduring power of ingenuity, courage, and determination in the face of adversity. From the pioneer
