Series though, do 'former' Communists have 'elected' positions in Polish High Office? Where have all the commies gone?

Yes actually in power we have heirs of communist party, some of them was in old communist party but they weren’t the key players there. I don’t like them but no one can say that the realizing now communistic policy! They are socialists, the same socialist like in Western Europe or in USA. I say even more that they are poor socialists if we compare them with Western socialists. This is truth that they were elected in democratic way, but not because their ideology or policy program but because polish society was really unsatisfied with right side government cause they have problems with corruption and initialized some poor reforms. In next year we will have next elections and again we all know the results now, again right side will be in power. It is absolutely normal process in young democracies.

That is, until the Soviets decide to fold the entire tent of "democratism" in your neck of the woods. I appreciate your zeal, but there are far greater powers at work than just the democratic process in (name your former Soviet satellite)...that's how they became Communist in the first place.
