The Independent Students’ Association (Polish:
Niezależne Zrzeszenie Studentów (NZS)) is a Polish student
society, created in October 1980, in the aftermath of the
Gdańsk Agreement and the anti-government strike actions (see:
History of Solidarity). It was a student arm, or suborganization,
of Solidarity, and together with it, as well as other similar
organizations, was banned after the martial law in Poland,
(December 13, 1981). Some activists were arrested, others organized
an underground NZS. After the fall of communism in 1989, the
organization was recreated, and its focus changed from political to
cultural, although it still stands by its origins as seen by Polish
students’ support for the Orange Revolution in Ukraine. It
now is the largest independent student organization in Poland, with
90 chapters at Polish universities and a total of 20,000
members.
THIS PROPAGANDA STAMP SET WAS ISSUED BY THE POLISH UNDERGROUND
SOLIDARITY MOVEMENT AS A DIVERSIFICATION STATEMENT AGAINST MARTIAL
LAW WHICH HAD BEEN DECLARED BY THE COMMUNIST AUTHORITIES IN POLAND.
IT IS A VERY RARE AND COLLECTABLE ITEM . THE UNDERGROUND MEMBERS
WHO ISSUED THIS STAMP RISKED A LOT, BECAUSE IF CAUGHT THEY WOULD
HAVE BEEN IMPRISONED WITHOUT TRIAL.
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A UNIQUE PIECE OF HISTORY. IT IS A
MUST FOR EVERY SERIOUS HISTORIAN AND COLLECTOR OF THIS PERIOD AND
WILL MAKE AN INTERESTING ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION.
General Wojciech Jaruzelski announced the introduction of martial
law in a speech first broadcast on radio and television at 6:00 am
on December 13, 1981. In order to isolate members of the opposition
(from the Solidarity movement), 52 internment centers were created.
A total of 10,132 internment orders were issued against 9,736
people during the period of martial law.
