- Summary
- The book "Michnik's likeness : record of a disease" criticizes Adam Michnik, the founder and editor-in-chief of the best-selling newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza. The author claims Michnik used the paper to unduly influence public opinion and thereby became one of the main architects of post-communist Poland. The author also accuses Michnik's associates and co-workers of accepting Michnik's opinions without question, especially those about how to "decommunize" the country. The spread of Michnik's stance against requiring people who want to hold a government office or civil service job to prove that they were never communist collaborators is held up as a prime example of this "disease".
