Nostalgia for the Polish People's Republic

In Polish culture, nostalgia for the Polish People's Republic is nostalgia for aspects of life in the Polish People's Republic (Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa, PRL).

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.

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.
