%X the movement for democracy in communist poland became widespread with the appearance of solidarity in 1980. the next decade in poland witnessed solidarity¡¯s peaceful fight for the right to representation. the mikhail gorbachev¡®s will to end the cold war was crucial, but his attitude to eastern european countries can be described as the non-interference rule. one of the decisive factors was the ¡°self-limiting¡± policy of the solidarity. the aim was not to overthrow the system, but to liberalize it. the polish model of a gradual evolutionary democratization serves as a model for other countries in the soviet bloc.
