Poland returns to nuclear power

摘要

It was thirty years ago when Poland's Solidarity [Solidarnosc] was born and gave the country its five minutes of fame. On 10 April 2010, a tragic airplane crash killed almost a hundred VIPs, including President Lech Kaczynski and put Poland in the spotlight once again. Lech Kaczyhski organized independent trade unions in Poland and was a co-founder of Solidarity along with its famous leader Lech Walesa. In 1980-1981 the almost 10 million strong Solidarity Trade Union initiated the cracks in the Eastern Bloc and ultimately led to its collapse. The Solidarity movement also caused the demise of Poland's nuclear programme in 1989.
