Jerzy Borejsza

[1] He was an older brother of Józef Różański – later a member of the Soviet NKVD and high-ranking interrogator in the Ministry of Public Security of Poland.

[3] Borejsza studied engineering, then Hispanic culture at the Sorbonne, and remained deeply involved with the politics and activism of anarchism.

He was one of the founders of the Union of Polish Patriots – an organization from which the communist government of post-war Poland in part originated.

It was in its pages that in January 1945 Borejsza published his programmatic article Revolution Gentle, in which he made an offer to the Polish intelligentsia to cooperate in building post-war cultural life.

In 1948, on the wave of changes in cultural policy, Borejsza took over the editorship of "Rebirth" and managed it until 1950, that is, until the magazine was merged with "Kuźnica" and "Nowa Kultura" was created.

[3] He organized much of communist propaganda in post-war Poland and was a leading figure in the implementation of state control and censorship in the area of culture.
