Title No. 24 of the propaganda series Library of Labor Leaders. The life story of Staśek Kaluga, who came from a poor peasant family, given as an example of social advancement in socialist reality. "We know that if all that we've been watching for the last five years hadn't happened in our country, we would never have broken away from our crumpled cottages. Because for us, the rural poor, as well as the workers who owned nothing before the war, there was no other way out of poverty and backwardness." [excerpt]
