Yesterday was an anniversary of an important, but very historically and factually complicated event. In 1981, the strikers of the shipyards signed August agreements, under which among another things the NSZZ “Solidarity”. Lech Wałęsa headed the strike and This fact cannot be disputed, however, years later we know that the function of Wałęsa was completely different than many thought, and the most insane conspiracy explanation regarding cooperation with the Communist safety Service proved to be true.
Lech Wałęsa, under the pseudonym “Bolek” reported on his colleagues and did not do so without interest, as respective courageous activists of “Solidarity” spoke loudly: Anna Walentynowicz, Krzysztof Wyszkowski, Andrzej and Joanna Starzów. Historians Sławomir Cenckiewicz and Piotr Gontarczyk wrote about the cooperation between Wałęsa and SB, and their book “SB and Lech Wałęsa. The origin for the biography" sparked a real storm on the Polish political stage. Despite the apparent evidence and the copies of papers contained in the book, Lech Walesa's cooperation with SB was inactive questioned by himself and political background. Worse still, in August 2000, the Lustration Court ruled that Lech Wałęsa had made a real mirroring message that he was not a PRL peculiar Services agent. Only after Maria Kiszczak, according to Czesław Kiszczak's last wish, gave the first folder “Bolka” to the IPN, the lies of Wałęsa were yet verified.
The problem is that even specified strong and final proof did not change Lech Wałęsa's attitude to his own false legend, and so it has aggregated an environment that has always recognized the esbek informer as a hero. In specified hopeless cases Internet is reliable as usual and “ordinary people” who on the anniversary day recalled the curiosity passage of Monika Olejnik's interview with “the Legend of Solidarity”.
The X-round recording is full authentic and dates from July 2017.

Some commentators felt that it was a product of artificial intelligence, because, as we know, this tool raises quite a few controversy and misuses is simply a origin of disinformation, but this recording has nothing to do with artificial or another intelligence. Mina Monika Olejnik says everything, like Lech “Bolka” Wałęsa’s tense and vulgar reaction. While listening well, especially in the full interview, it is especially possible to admit that Wałęsie did not talk these words in order to confirm the facts presented, but alternatively ironically applied to them. However, the reactions of net users are completely different and unambiguous, especially on the X portal, where the democratic majority ruled that Walesa simply admitted that he was taking money from security. Under average circumstances, you most likely should feel sorry for Wałęsie, but the circumstances are full of hypocrisy and human harm, so it is very hard to have any empathy.
Lech Wałęsa is celebrated for his many embarrassing behaviors, blunders, and primitive language, in addition to being full of errors, which makes it highly hard to realize statements. In short, in this passage of the interview, Wałęsa was a victim of his own linguistic sleaze and many years of lies, which he portrayed as evidence of his greatness in the cabotin style. The "Legend of Solidarity" has had the chance to appear honorably from this severe oppression, but alternatively of humbly confessing to sin, which would be well received by most Poles, Wałęsa chose shoe, lying and a terrible kind of transmission. For these reasons, the hero is already only for another SB informers and those who, either curious or motivated by political fanaticism, inactive do not recognise facts and spread false legends.
We don't believe in anyone, we don't believe in anything! We look at facts and draw conclusions!
