Abstract
This book explores the fear management in Stalinist Poland. The main concept is interpreted as a top-down manipulation with media information referring to propaganda figures of 'German threat', 'American capitalist' or 'war provoker'. Using the methodology of history of emotions, the author examines social reception of the fear management policy.
