Największy przekręt władzy. Jak Pewex okradał Polaków

Propaganda clashes with brutal reality. How much was your salary really worth in the Polish People's Republic, and why did the state desperately need your dollars? In this episode, we break down the mathematics of exploitation in the 1970s and 1980s. You'll see hard data: from real wages reaching $34 a month, through the black market trade of money changers, to Poland's $40 billion foreign debt. Pewex wasn't a window to the world. It was a coldly calculated mechanism for draining hard currency from citizens' pockets to repay Gierek's loans. The visuals used in the production illustrate the author's historical analysis. They have been used under the terms of quotation and fair use to allow viewers to better understand the events described. Most of the footage comes from declassified archives of government agencies and historical collections. 👉 Subscribe to the NIEJAWNE channel so you don't miss out on further historical investigations! 🔔 Click the bell to receive notifications about new videos. #pewex #PRL #Polishhistory #documentary #economy #interestingstories #1980s
