In the months of the growing threat of nuclear war, propaganda activities carried out by the local structures of the Polish United Workers’ Party intensified, and administrative activities were carried out to limit widespread panic. Action aimed against opponents of the system and the country intensified. Despite the activism of the party authorities and the security apparatus, war psychosis increased within the society, manifesting itself most often in the mass purchase of goods and the spread of rumours that fuelled fears. No other disorders occurred}, type={Text}, title={Czy jutro wybuchnie wojna?
