  Polska Ludowa (Polish:, transl. People's Poland) was a semi-official reference to the Polish state under Communism. The term was intended to imply the power of the working people in the state. It was a colloquial reference, including official speeches, but was also sometimes used in official documents.
  
  The official names of the state were:
  
  * Rzeczpospolita Polska (1944-1952) (transl. "Polish Commonwealth")
  * Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa (1952-1989), Polish People's Republic
