ABSTRACT
Czesław Browiński was the last “self-governing” president of Olsztyn. He performed this function from
March 1949 to June 1950. Presenting the achievements of the outgoing City Council, he described the city at the
beginning of the 1950s, at the same time outlining a highly optimistic vision of its development. The speech given in that political context contained a number of announcements that were difficult (or impossible) to be implemented within the economic realities of the six–year plan.
