Nostalgia for the Polish People's Republic
In Polish culture, PRL nostalgia is nostalgia for aspects of life in Polish People's Republic (Polish: Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa, PRL).[1][2][3][4]
As with other manifestations of Communist nostalgia, for people who lived in the times of the PRL, the two major factors of PRL nostalgia are the dissatisfaction with the present and the memory of the happy and most recollected past.[5]
Businesses were quick to respond to the phenomenon by renewing the manufacture of products from the PRL times, such as warm ice cream, Polo-Cockta, Junak motorcycles, Ludwik laundry detergent and Tiger vacuum cleaner.[6]
