Krytyka Polityczna

Krytyka Polityczna is a circle of Polish left-wing intellectuals gathered around a journal of the same title founded by Sławomir Sierakowski in 2002.

The name draws on the tradition of Young Poland’s "Krytyka" (The Critique), a monthly magazine published by Wilhelm Feldman at the beginning of the 20th century, and on the samizdat "Krytyka" which served as a forum for opposition writers and journalists in the 1970s and 1980s. Krytyka Polityczna publishes its own journal as well as its own editions of philosophy, and operates several community centers in Warsaw and elsewhere in Poland. In 2011, Krytyka Polityczna has become active in neighboring Eastern European countries, and plans to publish a Russian edition of its magazine in the coming year. At “Auditorium Moscow” Krytyka Polityczna’s Julian Kutyła and Agata Szczęśniak will organize a four-day workshop about independant magazines in Russia.
