The analysis is based on the most signifi cant holidays in the socialist calendar – 1 May and 22 July. Changes in the manner of celebration during the ‘thaw’ and the early years of ‘real socialism’ allow conclusions to be drawn about the evolution of the political system during the crisis and the process of de-totalitarianisation of the system of power. This article contributes to the ongoing discussion of the evolution of communist governance in Poland after 1956 and the signifi cance of this turning point in the shift from totalitarianism to post-totalitarianism/authoritarianism.}, title={Obchody rocznic i świąt państwowych w latach 1953–1958 jako barometr kryzysu PRL i detotalitaryzacji systemu władzy}, type={Text}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/263305/WA303_300380_A507-DN-R-58-2_Sasanka.pdf}, volume={58}, number={2}, journal={Dzieje Najnowsze : [kwartalnik poświęcony historii XX wieku]}, publisher={Instytut Historii Polskiej Akademii Nauk}, keywords={1956, Thaw of 1956, crisis, de-totalitarianisation, 1 May, 22 July, socialist rituals, communist propaganda, communist ideology, political culture, public holiday, state anniversary celebrations, state symbolism, Poland - anniversaries, etc. - political aspects, Poland - anniversaries, etc. - history - 20th century, Poland - history - 1945-}, }
