The new reality being born in Poland at the end of the war could carry some hopes concerning real changes. The new authorities’ manifesto declared that the power would be wielded through national councils manned by patriotic Poles, in spite of their political beliefs. Significant changes leading to complete Stalinism began in 1948 when Stalin's dreams to enlarge the borders of socialism up to Gibraltar crashed. The characteristic feature of the Stalinist system was also to centralise the management of all economy sectors connected with the elimination of private property both in the city and in the country. Building a Stalinist system meant a fast collectivisation for Polish villages. The omnipotent party controlled all areas of life. The 20th Communist Party of the Soviet Union Congress played a huge role in the transformation process in the Polish society awareness. Nikita Khrushchev's speech made on the last day, or in fact a secret paper, got even with Stalin's cult. Bolesław Bierut, who died in Moscow, did not return to Poland. At that time in Poland the activation of party members took place. The then methods of wielding power were criticised during the congress of party members in Warsaw. In the conditions of huge social awareness awakening, the changes taken by the authorities did not follow the reality. In the hot year of 1956, the society for a moment felt the new strength, and those who wielded power could experience that the power could actually depend on “people". Under pressure of this atmosphere, the authorities had to make transformations that could ease social tensions. In that situation Władysław Gomułka, considered the supporter of the Polish way to socialism, returned to power. Unfortunately, this “holiday of freedom ” did not last long and soon the situation came back to normal. However, the social activism caused that this “normal” was different from Stalinism times, although still distant from an ideal.
