In 80-ties the Solidarity movement had over 10 million members, that was the force that would scare any government. It shown that Communism has no support in polish society. In 90- ties the government must've deal with Solidarity and reform the country.
This was called Solidarity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solidarity_%28Polish_trade_union%29
The Solidarity movement in Poland, which emerged in the 1980s, was initially banned by the government of the Polish People's Republic under Communist rule in December 1981. The imposition of martial law by General Wojciech Jaruzelski aimed to suppress the movement's activities and curb its influence. Despite this ban, Solidarity persisted underground, eventually playing a crucial role in the collapse of communism in Poland and Eastern Europe.
Lech Walesa was able to free Poland from Communist rule by forming the Solidarity Movement. He gathered workers together and established a trade union, which was started in August of 1980, that asked for worker rights and improvement in the working conditions. In 1989, Solidarity was able to propose a candidate for its election, and Walesa won the 1990 election for the presidency. He was able to lead his country in this post-communist era.
first were Russians then others
The significance of Solidarity in Poland for the decline of Soviet influence in Eastern Europe was that the Polish citizens' incooperation made it so that the USSR had to negotiate for its rule in the country,when before it had unconditional rule and therefore had no reason to change its policies. The union forced the Soviets to compromise and bend- which weakened its hold on first Poland and then the other countries in which it had a strong hand in the government.
In Chile when military general Augusto Pinochet conduct a referendum,people rejected Pinochet. But in Poland the Solidarity government helped to overthrew the communist rule.

Solidarity gained immense popularity in 1990 as it represented a powerful movement for democratic reform and workers' rights in Poland, leading to the eventual fall of communist rule in Eastern Europe. The group's ability to unite diverse social groups—workers, intellectuals, and the Catholic Church—against oppression resonated widely, inspiring similar movements across the region. Additionally, the peaceful transition of power in Poland showcased the effectiveness of nonviolent resistance, making Solidarity a symbol of hope and change in a time of political upheaval.
Pope John Paul II grew up in Poland which came under communist control.
A former worker at a Polish shipyard, he played an important role in bringing an end to Communist rule in Poland. He was consistently involved in activities toward the establishment of free--therefore illegal under Communist regime--trade unions in Poland. He played a key role in creating the first free Trade Union "Solidarity" in 1980, which in turn led the anti-Communist movement of Poland in the 1980s. After the fall of communism, he was elected the first President of Poland, While he did not get reelected ever again, he was much more successful in being recognized internationally, including the winning of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983.
No. Denmark was never under communist rule.
