have no interest in freedom
The RT mafia aka KOD salon have no interest whatsoever in freedom or demcoracy only in their own power and privilege which they have enjoyed undeservedly for a quarter of a century. Wałęsa was the bitter enemy of the usurping KOR-ites who wanted their crony Mazowiecki to be president. Wałęsa had served his purpose and could nw return to Gdańsk like a nice little boy. But Wałęsa faced up to the KOR-ites, won the election (thanks mainly to the Tymiński debacle) and, were it not for his 1992 folly, would have remained their bittter enemy. What could a two-fisted, ideolgically conservative, Catholic trade unionist have in common with a bunch of agnsotic KOR eggheads? But when the threat of his dossier being exposed emerged, he suddenly had a common cause with the ex-PZPR/SB/TW types leftist intellectuals -- to protect his bottom. Governments have come and gone but that same salon has effectively run the show ever since.
horrible tragedy
The horrible tragedy was that communism did not collapse and political criminals were not held to account. Communism cleverly reinvented itself via the Kiszczak-engineered RT conspiracy. The regime's ruse enjoyed the support of soft-on-communism leftists (KOR & Co.) and opportunistic Solidarity fellow travellers (Bujak, Fraysyniuk, Celiński et al) which guaranteed the regime's people impunity and the collaborators a share of the spoils. The true Solidarity patriots -- Gwiazda, Walenytnowicz, Morawiecki, Waszkowski, Jaworski et al -- were sidelined, reviled or ignored despite their contribution to the "S" revolution.
