A FEW WORDS ABOUT RADOM

During the reign of the Jagiellonian dynasty the town was in its heyday. Such events as the adoption of the “nihil novi” constitution by the Great Seym in 1505 and the workers’ protest in June 1976, which, in the opinion of many historians, started system changes in Poland, constitute a kind of a historic link.
Famous Poles connected with Radom included, among others: Jacek Malczewski, John Kochanowski, Witold Gombrowicz, Leszek Kołakowski and Andrzej Wajda.
