Military Council of National Salvation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Military Council of National Salvation (Wojskowa Rada Ocalenia Narodowego) was a Military dictatorship quasi-government administering Poland during the martial law (1981-1983).

The body was created on December 13, 1981 and was dissolved on July 22, 1983. It consisted of 15 generals, 1 admiral, 4 colonels and 1 lt.col. Among the most notable members were Wojciech Jaruzelski, Mirosław Hermaszewski and Czesław Kiszczak.

The rather unfortunate lettering of the Polish acronym (WRON; 'wrona' means 'crow' in Polish) was immediately picked up by those that the regime sought to repress and widely used in a form of non-violent opposition: jokes. One saying was that "Orła Wrona nie pokona - the Crow can't defeat the Eagle (the national symbol of Poland)."
