Here on the Lenin Shipyard began the liberation of Poland from the former Soviet Union. Lech Walesa was then the personality of the movement and later also Polish President.

(World) history was made here: In 1970, some workers were killed in clashes with the militarized police called KOMO. Ten years later, Lech Walesa led the workers on a new series of strikes to fight the Soviet rulers. The movement was called Solidarity (Solidarnosc). What began as a battle over meat prices grew into the Solidarity union with 10 million members. The Soviet regime finally fell apart.
