ABSTRACT
Among the analyzed three groups of party activists, dominated activists relatively young, those
over 50 and 60 years of age accounted for a small minority. However, considering the membership of
the Communist party or its youth, only in Voivod’s Committe there were larger group of people with
such a past. A relatively small group of activists of all treatment groups showed a relationship with GL
/ AL or underground PPR. The two groups of representatives of party activists were characterized by
relatively low education, mostly at the universal level and secondary education. Ideally this angle fared
Town’s Committe PPR in Olsztyn, the weakest in this category, while the former county committees,
which have clearly lacked personnel with a better education. It was, therefore, that the PPR in the
region Olsztyn was one of the weakest among the organizational and quantitatively party structures
in the country and the local elite party was not counted among the most important. The same
position and secretaries of PPR in Olsztyn compared to other provincial organizations was relatively weak.
