British Anti-Soviet Media Operations in Poland (1947–1948)

Abstract

The escalating Cold War necessitated the intensification of Western efforts against the dissemination of the Soviet ideology in the USSR’s satellite countries. Globally, significant changes in the media and cultural spheres, including the rising popularity of radio programs, meant that Cold War rivalry increasingly involved media. Propaganda became a critical weapon, a fact well understood by the newly established Information Research Department. All available channels were exploited to promote the Western way of life. This research aims to present the scope of British Cold War propaganda in Poland, focusing on the political actions of British Embassy in Warsaw and the Northern Department of the Foreign Office, and correlating them to measures undertaken by the British Council.

Keywords:
