Wanda Wasilewska was born into an intellectual family that came from the borderlands of the impoverished nobility. Raised in the cult of Józef Piłsudski, she gradually became fascinated by the Soviet Union. From a progressive socialist, she became a hard-line communist who, thanks to her tenacity and dedication, gained Stalin's trust. She was the founder of the Union of Polish Patriots and denied the Katyn massacre, becoming a symbol of service to the Stalinist regime.

Her path to communism was unusual, and her devotion to ideology aroused controversy even among her supporters. Aleksander Wat spoke of her as a "mystic who does not see reality, but rather sees a different reality that we do not see." The biography of Wanda Wasilewska is an attempt to understand this complex and ambiguous figure who has forever inscribed herself in the history of Poland.
