ABSTRACT
The Article analyses the history of the Round-table negotiations, still very alive in Poland, from the perspective of political arguments which are dividing historians and the participants of the deliberations till today. Only a few crucial topics of these historical events are covered, with a focus on reasons for which both sides entered into negotiations. Even before the talks ever started it was clear that within the opposition camp serious cleavages will appear. Some of them are present to these days. Polls were used to present the actual state of mind of polish citizens about the negotiations from 20 years ago. The valuation is rather positive, but there are also critical opinions about this bloodless revolution which was the evidence of the process of collapse of the communist system in the whole Central and Eastern Europe.
