The Phenomenon of the ‘Tank-Men’

John Paul II Institute, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin , PolandAbstract
The purpose of the present feuilleton is to point that the values of friendship and loyalty manifested in the 1966 television series Czterej pancerni i pies [“Four Tank-Men and a Dog”] (created by Konrad Nałęcki and Andrzej Czekalski) are still alive in the present-day culture, and to emphasize the fact that none of the feature fi lms or television series created in Poland after the breakthrough of 1989 have promoted these values so successfully. As a result, the series Czterej pancerni i pies has not lost any of its popularity over the decades and is continually aired on various television channels in Poland despite its clearly ideological (pro-communist) bias.
