Mgr Kamil Słomiński

University of Warsaw

English abstract: Combating totalitarian propaganda is a topic that continues to challenge the law, including criminal law dogmatics. The criminalization of totalitarian propaganda plays a special role in countries which have been affected by these regimes. Polish law currently criminalizes the propagation of communist ideology. It is worth presenting how this concept was shaped against the historical background of the regulations in force in the Second Republic of Poland. The article addresses the issue of criminalization of communist propaganda in the Second Republic of Poland. It analyses the rulings of the Supreme Court and scholars’ views concerning this issue from the period 1918–1939.

English abstract: The aim of this article is an attempt to conceptualize Jerzy Wroblewski’s theory of legal interpretation in the context of examining the influence of Marxism on interpretative practices. One of the legal theorists who undertook the task of demonstrating that Jerzy Wroblewski’s theory of interpretation is characterized by a philosophical stance rooted in the adoption of Marxist premises as the foundational philosophical assumptions underlying theoretical activities in legal science is Zbigniew Pulka. This article discusses three topics: (1) the Marxist philosophical stance – Marxist axiology, (2) people’s legal interpretation, (3) the clarificatory concept of interpretation.

Keywords: interpretation, Marxism, communism, J. Wróblewski, clarificatory concept of interpretation
