FightingSolidarity was a Polishanti-communistunderground organization, founded in June 1982 by Kornel Morawiecki in Wrocław in response to the de-legalization of Solidarity and government repression of the opposition after martial law was declared in 1981. It was one of the most radical splinters of Solidarity. Morawiecki and Fighting Solidarity activists saw their organization as the successor to the Polish resistance in World War II, hence their symbol merged the Solidarity logo with the Kotwica and crowned Polish eagle. One of the main activities of Fighting Solidarity was information warfare: it printed and distributed many underground newspapers. The most well-known of these included "Biuletyn Dolnośląski", "Solidarność Walcząca" and "Galicja". Fighting Solidarity's bibuła were the first printed during the period of martial law, being available the day after martial law was introduced. Fighting Solidarity also tried to actively infiltrate the Polish secret police and to support other anti-communist organizations, including ones in other countries of the Soviet Bloc, even the Soviet Union itself. The Polish secret police found it extremely hard to infiltrate the organization, even though they employed various tactics, including kidnapping Morawiecki's children in an attempt to blackmail him. Despite its reputation for militancy, Fighting Solidarity did not support violence or terrorism. Fighting Solidarity was one of two Polish organizations of that time whose primary goals, declared from the start, included the destruction of communism, the independence of Poland and other nations controlled by communist governments, and the reunification of Germany. Fighting Solidarity power bases included Wrocław, Poznań, Gdańsk, Rzeszów and Upper Silesia. Among its most prominent members were Maciej Frankiewicz, Roman Zwiercan, Andrzej Kołodziej, Jadwiga Chmielowska, Janusz Szkutnik. In 1986 it claimed to have several hundred active members, not counting allies and supporters. In 1990 many members of Fighting Solidarity founded a political party, the Partia Wolności.
