In 1983, the Nobel Peace Prize honored Polish electrician Lech Walesa for leading the nonviolent revolution of "Solidarity."
The Nobel committee recognized this movement as a powerful, globe-reshaping challenge to communist authority.
Advocating human rights and free unions, Solidarity emerged as the key opposition force in Eastern Europe.
This was not only the beginning of the end of communism in Poland, but of the entire Cold War. Learn more about the rise of Solidarity and the beginning of the end of the Eastern Bloc on this episode of Everything, Everywhere Daily.
