– Years later, we can finally tell the world that the revolution in Poland in 1980-81 was organized by the Gdańsk Shipyard and the University of Warsaw – highlighted Dr Sergey Kovalev, receiving the title of doctor honoris causa of the University of Warsaw.

One of the reviewers presented a summary of Sergey Kovalev’s achievements and called him “the conscience of Russian society and the conscience of the world.”

Dr Kovalev’s achievements were also presented by Dr Wojciech Pawlik. He pointed out that the Faculty of Applied Social Sciences and Resocialization applied for the award for him. “The title is awarded on behalf of all faculties of the University of Warsaw, because human rights are important for representatives of all disciplines” – explained Pawlik.
