The electoral campaign and the elections themselves aroused concern throughout the Eastern Bloc, as they were interpreted as a continuation of the Polish October Revolution. The outcome of the vote, which proved satisfying for the authorities in Warsaw, was received with obvious relief; the importance of the electoral success of the Polish United Workers’ Party was strongly emphasised. But some communist governments, namely those of Yugoslavia and China, demonstrated a different attitude, as they interpreted these results in the light of their own political interests. At the same time, major Western countries perceived the Polish events of 1956, including the elections, in a wider context of current relations with the Eastern Bloc. The results of the vote were cited as an opportunity for Poland to obtain a greater margin of liberty in its cooperation with the USSR.}, type={Text}, title={Zagraniczne echa wyborów do Sejmu PRL z 20 stycznia 1957 roku}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/ihpan/Content/57819/PDF/WA303_78102_A453-SzDZ-R-50-2_Skobelski.pdf}, volume={50}, number={2}, journal={Studia z Dziejów Rosji i Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej}, publisher={Wydawnictwo Naukowe "Semper"}, keywords={Poland - Sejm - elections, 1957, Poland - politics and government - 1945-, elections - Poland - history, Polish parliament}, }
