1968 Polish Political Crisis
A series of major student, intellectual and other protests against the ruling Polish United Workers' Party of the Polish People's Republic took place in Poland in March 1968. The crisis led to the suppression of student strikes by security forces in all major academic centres across the country and the subsequent repression of the Polish dissident movement. It was also accompanied by mass emigration following an antisemitic (branded "anti-Zionist") campaign waged by the minister of internal affairs, General Mieczysław Moczar, with the approval of First Secretary Władysław Gomułka of the Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR). The protests overlapped with the events of the Prague Spring in neighboring Czechoslovakia – raising new hopes of democratic reforms among the intelligentsia.

Banana Youth
Banana youth () was a term coined in the Polish People's Republic during the 1960s to denigrate the children of the ''nomenklatura'', particularly those who participated in the March 1968 protests. The name referenced the banana as a consumer-symbol of out-of-touch affluence at the time. Emergence The phrase 'banana youth' first came into use during the Polish People's Republic as a derogatory term to describe the offspring of the Polish ''nomenklatura'' who were deemed to have aspirations remote from those of the so-called ' Jan Kowalski', or average worker.
