Mariusz Wilk (oppositionist from Wrocław, joint creator of the „Solidarity Strike Information Bulletin”):
There were two of us doing that bulletin [with Konrad Zieliński]. We commented on what was going on in the negotiations hall, we printed statements and other documents. There were few texts of our own. We limited ourselves to commentaries. There was no time to write. I would approach professional journalists, but most of them excused themselves, arguing that they had no time […]. In almost every issue we printed poems written during the strike. One of them was written by a girl who typed texts for our bulletin. We did that because we wanted the workers to regard the bulletin as their own, to feel that they were its co-editors; we wanted to prevent a situation where they might think that a guy from Warsaw and a guy from Wrocław came to the Shipyard and they do a newspaper together. And they were strongly linked with the bulletin. It simply was their newspaper.
In order to publish the bulletin, we had to break into the shipyard’s printing room because there was an offset printer there. In the peak period, when we were in full swing, we would publish a morning and an afternoon issue, 80 thousand copies of each. And all were grabbed instantly.
