Notably, ''Polityka'' was launched to replace the more radical ''[[Po prostu]]'' (1947–1957). The first [[editor-in-chief]] of the magazine was Stefan Żółkiewski who served in the post from 1957 to 1958.<ref name=mag/>
 
[[Mieczysław Rakowski]] was a long-time editor of the publication and he served in the post between 1958 and 1982.<ref>{{cite book|author=Jacqueline Hayden|title=The Collapse of Communist Power in Poland: Strategic Misperceptions and Unanticipated Outcomes|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=jk1_AgAAQBAJ&pg=PA42|accessdate=15 November 2014|date=23 March 2006|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-134-20801-2|page=42}}</ref> It was he who would become the final First Secretary of the Polish Communist Party, the last communist prime minister of Poland, and who would eventually oversee the winding down of communist rule in Poland in 1989. ''Polityka'' supported the [[Polish Round Table Agreement|Round Table]] talks, which concluded with an agreement to hold the free elections that would result in a peaceful end to communist rule in Poland. The magazine achieved renown in 1961 when it printed five parts of [[Adolf Eichmann]]'s memoires that had been stolen and given to it by anti-Nazis (the only other magazine that acquired fragments of these memoires was ''[[Life (magazine)|Life]]'').<ref>Daniel Passent: ''Zbrodniarz na łamach'', Polityka nr 10/2007 (2595)</ref> It earned the ire of the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1983 after expressing a favourable view of political pluralism.<ref>Wiesław Władyka: ''Historia Polityki dla dorosłych'', ''Polityka'' nr 9/2007 (2594)</ref>
