He joined the new pro-Soviet Polish communist party , the Polish Workers ' Party , and became a deputy to the State National Council . He organized much of communist propaganda in post-war Poland and was a leading figure in the implementation of state control and censorship in the area of culture . He created the giant publishing house '' Czytelnik '' ( ' The Reader ' ) . Borejsza favored a moderate approach to culture control , which he called a " gentle revolution " . He supported establishing cultural relations with the West , and himself traveled to United States and the United Kingdom . In 1948 he was one of the main organizers of the World Congress of Intellectuals in Defense of Peace in Wrocław . He fell out of favor with the Stalinist hardliners who saw him as too independent , too hard to influence , and not radical enough . His political role diminished in the late 1940s , particularly after the disabling injuries he suffered in a car accident in 1949
