    http://www.time.com/time/time100/leaders/profile/walesa.html
    
    Extractions: Lech Walesa, the fly, feisty, mustachioed electrician from Gdansk, shaped the 20th century as the leader of the Solidarity movement that led the Poles out of communism. It is one of history's great ironies that the nearest thing we have ever seen to a genuine workers' revolution was directed against a so-called workers' state. Poland was again the icebreaker for the rest of Central Europe in the "velvet revolutions" of 1989. Walesa's contribution to the end of communism in Europe, and hence the end of the cold war, stands beside those of his fellow Pole, Pope John Paul II, and the Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. David Ben-Gurion

    Extractions: The next phase in Walesa's political career was more controversial. Angered by the fact that his former intellectual advisers were now running the country in cooperation with the former communists, he declared a "war at the top" of Solidarity. "I don't want to, but I must," he insisted. Fighting a populist campaign against his own former adviser, he was elected Poland's first noncommunist President, a post he held until 1995. Some people liked his stalwart, outspoken style. Others found him too undignified to be the new democracy's head of state. Brilliant as a people's tribune, he stumbled over long formal speeches. You never felt he was quite comfortable in the role. When he stayed with the British Queen at Windsor Castle, he characteristically quipped that the bed was so big, he couldn't find his wife.

    Extractions: Lech Wales a By Max Before Lech Walesa helped to free Poland it had been under Russian control for 45 years. As a result you can imagine how the Polish felt about the Russians. Lech Walesa was one of eight children. He was born September 29, 1943 in Powopo, a city between Warsaw and Gdansk, Poland. Lech was an electrician at Gdansk shipyard. Uprisings had started about heightened food prices. Lech decided to join in. Soon Lech found himself at the center of it all. After a while a group called Solidarity was formed. Lech was elected its chairman. After the shipyard went on strike other businesses followed suit. The number of members in Solidarity swelled to millions, and it became the voice of the Polish people. Concerned that the Russian armed forces would intervene, the Polish government outlawed Solidarity. For a while Solidarity was not active but after a while it began operating “underground.” Lech was arrested and jailed because he was in Solidarity. Other leaders were arrested too.

Let deeds follow words now. "The thing that lies at the foundation of positive change, the way I see it, is service to a fellow human being."

    Extractions: a 4.0 browser and requires javascript Born September 29, 1943, in Popowo, Poland, Lech Walesa was the son of a carpenter. He attended primary and vocational school before taking up the position of electrical engineer in the Lenin Shipyards in Gdansk, Poland, in 1967. In 1970, when the shipyards were the center of huge and violent demonstrations against the government's decision to increase food prices, Walesa was among the demonstrators. Six years later, Walesa was fired from his job when he not only protested the Gierek government's raise in food prices, but emerged as an anti-government union activist. He turned to the Workers Defense Committee (KOR), an underground intellectual group established to help the families of workers fired because of the protests, and became increasingly involved in their activities as a dissident. Walesa was arrested several times between 1976 and 1980 for his dissident activities. In 1981 however, Defense Minister Wojciech Jaruzelski was appointed prime minister in a year of increasing social unrest and dissatisfaction in Poland. In December, martial law was imposed and Solidarity was outlawed. Walesa was arrested, and for the next seven years he was either under arrest, watched closely by secret police or harassed. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983, Walesa had his wife accept the award for him in Oslo, fearing that authorities would not allow him back into Poland if he left. By December 1988 it was clear that the unrest, social dissatisfaction and economic conditions could not continue without change. At the conclusion of the 10th plenary session of the Communist Party, the party invited the still-illegal and large opposition Solidarity movement to join in talks beginning in February 1989. These talks, which became known as the "roundtable talks," lasted for 59 days, with 13 working groups in 94 sessions.

    Extractions: Lech Walesa was born on 29 September 1943 in Popowo, near Wloclawek, Poland.His father died shortly after World War II; he and his brothers and sisters were raised by their mother, aunt and uncle. The Soviet Union occupied Poland after the war, and the Soviet-imposed communist government controlled almost every aspect of life in Poland, except for the Catholic Church. Walesa was only an average student at his parish school and after graduating from the state vocational school in Lipno, where he learned the electrician's trade, worked as a car mechanic at a machine center from 1961 to 1965. He served in the army for two years, rose to the rank of corporal, and in 1967 was employed in the Lenin shipyard in Gdansk as an electrician. In 1970, when the shipyards were the center of huge and violent demonstrations against the government's decision to increase food prices, Walesa was among the demonstrators. Throughout the next he decade played a role in organizing the shipyard protests. In 1976 he was fired for his political activities. Although he was only sporadically employed for the next four years, he persisted in his organizing.

    Extractions: Inicio Buscador Las figuras clave de la historia Reportajes Los protagonistas de la actualidad Lech Walesa (Popowo, actual Polonia, 1943) Sindicalista polaco. Trabajó como electricista en los astilleros Lenin de Gdansk, pero fue despedido por su participación en las huelgas de 1976. Militó en los sindicatos clandestinos, presidió el comité interempresas y encabezó la revuelta obrera de agosto de 1980, encaminada a la creación del primer sindicato libre de la Polonia comunista, Solidaridad, del que fue elegido presidente tras asumir la dirección del comité de huelga. Obtuvo de las autoridades numerosas concesiones, orientadas a mejorar las condiciones políticas y económicas de la clase trabajadora. Sin embargo, Moscú presionó a las autoridades locales, hasta que, en 1981, se decretó la ley marcial y asumió el poder una Junta Militar con plenos poderes mandada por el general Jaruzelski, antes jefe del gobierno. Walesa fue arrestado y no recobró la libertad hasta noviembre de 1982. Pero la repercusión internacional de su actividad y su buena relación con el papa Juan Pablo II, también polaco, abonaron su camino hacia el reconocimiento con el Premio Nobel de la Paz de 1983. Por entonces, la tensión en Polonia se había agudizado y desembocó en el estado de emergencia (que provocó el debilitamiento de la combatividad de Solidaridad) y en una mejora en la relaciones del régimen con la Iglesia. En noviembre de 1987, el general Jaruzelski fracasó estrepitosamente en el referéndum popular que había convocado sobre las reformas económicas y la democratización de la vida política. A la vista del fracaso, el nuevo primer ministro, Rakowski, inició negociaciones con la oposición, que desembocaron en la legalización de Solidaridad en abril de 1989.
