Social:Moscow loan

The Moscow Loan is the name of a loan of United States dollar 1.2 million by Communist Party of the Soviet Union to Polish United Workers' Party in January 1990. The PUWP coordinators were Mieczysław Rakowski and Leszek Miller. $300,000 was spent to set up Trybuna, a left-wing newspaper, $200,000 on severance pay for employees of PUWP, $500,000 given back to the Russians, and $200,000 circulated to pay off the loan in installments. It has caused controversy in Polish politics and occasioned year-long prosecution. In the end nobody was sentenced.
