Ah, the famous water polo match, I am a former water polo player so I've read my share about the game too.

Some people today in Poland argue that it is a good thing that General Jaruzelski declared martial law or as we call it "state of war" in Poland.

They claim that the Soviets would have responded with their military to calm down the protesters, then the demononstrations would have been far from peacful, with a Soviet intervention the demonstrations would most certanly escalate to a second "Hungarian Revolution" or a sequel to the event in the 50'ies in Poznañ.
