In modern Polish culture there is nostalgia for some aspects of life in the Polish People's Republic (, PRL), the communist period of the country's history between 1947 and 1989.Karolina Golinowska, "Nostalgia for the PRL in contemporary Poland"Renata Murawska, "Of the Polish People’s Republic and its Memory in Polish Film"
As with other manifestations of communist nostalgia, for people who lived during the period of the PRL, the two major factors that cause PRL nostalgia are a dissatisfaction with the present and memories of a happily recollected past.Monika Prusik, Maria Lewicka, Nostalgia for Communist Times and Autobiographical Memory: Negative Present or Positive Past?, Political Psychology, Volume 37, Issue 5 October 2016
Businesses were quick to respond to the phenomenon by renewing the manufacture of products from PRL times, such as Junak motorcycles, Ludwik laundry detergent, warm ice cream, zapiekanka sandwiches, Polo-Cockta cola, the soft drink podpiwek, and Grodziskie beer.
