Nostalgia for the Polish People's Republic
Retrospective fondness for average life in Communist Poland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Polish culture, nostalgia for the Polish People's Republic is nostalgia for aspects of life in the Polish People's Republic (Polish: Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa, PRL).[1][2][3][4]

As with other manifestations of communist nostalgia, for people who lived during the period of the PRL, the two major factors that cause PRL nostalgia are a dissatisfaction with the present and memories of a happily recollected past.[5]
Businesses were quick to respond to the phenomenon by renewing the manufacture of products from PRL times, such as warm ice cream, Polo-Cockta, Junak motorcycles, and Ludwik laundry detergent.[6]
