Robotnik (The Worker) was the samizdat (underground) newspaper published by Polish Socialist Party (PPS).
It was first published in 1894 in Wilno by the Lithuanian branch of PPS led by future dicator of Second Polish Republic, Józef Piłsudski. In order to throw the ochrana and Russian police off track, the newspaper was first distributed in Warsaw. Piłdsudski would become one of the chief editors and writers for the newspaper, often he spend most of the day at the printing press. In 1900 the police managed to find the printing press, Józef Piłsudski, along with several other members of PPS (including his wife, Maria Piłsudska) were arrested and sentenced to imprisonment (Piłsudski would soon escape feigning mental illness).
In the following years Robotnik would be printed in various places by several groups of PPS, or related to it. From 1915 'Robotnik' was legalized, first legal issue was printed in Dąbrowa Górnicza. From 1919 to 1939 it became a normal, legal newspaper in the Second Polish Republic. Among its editors were Feliks Perl (d.1927) and Mieczysław Niedziałkowski (1927-1939). Its notable contributors included Zygmunt Zaremba, Stanisław Posner, Karol Irzykowski, Cezary Jellenta and Jan Nepomucen Miller, and it's volume reached 10-20,000 issues. After the May Coup of Piłsudski, who after the First World War distanced himself from PPS, 'Robotnik' took an opposition stance towards his governement; in return, some of its editions were subject to confications (only from 1926 to 1935 about 500 issues were confiscated). The last issue was released on 23 September 1939, in the fourth week of Polish September Campaign.
After the war several newspapers of that name were printed in Poland and abroad.
