Entrance to Gdansk shipyards

You can see the cranes to the left. Still building them here.

Beyond these gates, in the 1970s, a group of long-haired idealists formed a union, Solidarity, which after much struggle, and members killed & tortured, won the right to free elections, and in so doing brought down the Soviet Union.
