The streets of Polish cities during the Stalinist period were full of people dressed uniformly: gray overcoats, navy blue or brown pants and jackets, white shirts and cheap ties. Unexpectedly for the authorities, at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s, young people appeared who radically differed from their surroundings with their clothes. With time, they began to be called “stilyagi,” whose appearance could be interpreted as a protest against the reality of the time. The rebellious youth risked being attacked by the communist authorities, who strove to unify social life. |
