In Silesia there are many memorials dedicated to the victims of communist totalitarianism, such as the camp in Jaworzno or the monument commemorating the miners shot dead by the riot police in the Wujek coal mine. But we can also find a place where the contemporary everyday life of the years from 1945 to 1989 is illustrated in an absurd and comic way. The grim reality of the state created by Stalin and ruled by the first secretaries of the Communist Party sometimes had such a face. This place is the Museum of the People’s Republic of Poland in Ruda Śląska.
