Operation
The RSW practically financed the Communist Party in the People's Republic of Poland throughout the 1970s and 1980s until the collapse of the Soviet empire. The company was exempt from paying taxes on its own revenue (in 1988 the RSW held back taxes amounting to 52 billion zlotys used for the exuberant bonuses of party officials, along with their political campaigns). The RSW was liquidated by the Act of Polish Parliament on 22 March 1990.
