Nostalgia for the Polish People's Republic

In modern Polish culture there is nostalgia for some aspects of life in the Polish People's Republic (Polish: Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa, PRL), the communist period of the country's history between 1947 and 1989.

[1][2][3][4] As with other manifestations of communist nostalgia, for people who lived during the period of the PRL, the two major factors that cause PRL nostalgia are a dissatisfaction with the present and memories of a happily recollected past.
