During a summer heat wave, all the water in Warsaw is disappearing. What happens? No one knows. This mystery can by solved only by As (The Ace). Polish communist superhero!  Yes, Poland had a superhero, who was to be parody of the American ideals glorified in Superman an other US heroes. The Ace was created in "Hydrozagadka" (Waterpuzzle) movie ifrom 1971 In Hydrozagadga he solved a mystery of disappearing water.. Below You can find some fragment (full of specific humor and propaganda) of this film with The Ace.

The Ace is talking about what man should do with women.

"Very good, that You remeber. The women is always exposed to the danger! It's the mens duty to protected the woman and vice versa! give her care"

CIA director in talk with president Regan said about "HIM": "Nobody, in the last 40 years did not harmed communism so much like this Pole".

When Poland, as one of the members of Warsaw Pact, participated in the attack on Czechoslovakia, Polish communist government organized central Harvest Festival (Dożynki).

Poland under the pressure of Soviet government, had no choice and  joined ZSSR's military operation.

Today we present a few interesting films from the Polish Film Chronicle from the time of the PRL. All videos are about vehicles but some of them may seem very funny in current days.

The history of "Agathon's" life (born in 1911 in Warsaw, died in 2002 in the same city). it's not well known to a broader range of the society. It is a pity, becouse in our opinion, he was a hero. He wrote his biography in the book: "Stanisław Jankowski, the one with the true false Ausweis in Warsaw" (pol. Stanisław Jankowski, Z fałszywym Ausweisem w prawdziwej Warszawie")

Today in Poland, as in almost whole world, there is holiday of all workers.
