Kornel Morawiecki was one of these dissidents that any totalitarian regime fears most. In the 1970s, his resolute and uncompromising political attitude was reflected in the radical anti-communist texts and speeches, and in the early 1980s culminated in his founding of the "Fighting Solidarity". This unique hardline anti-communist movement soon became highly troublesome for the authorities because its members were not afraid to take radical action, would not hear of negotiating with the communists, and were much more successful in covering their tracks than other oppositionists.   

In free Poland Kornel Morawiecki served his nation as an MP and the Parliament’s Senior Speaker.
