89 Squares: Warsaw
As part of our ongoing series "89 squares" we visit Bank Square in the Polish capital Warsaw. Under the communist regime the square was re-named after the Polish man who founded the Bolshevik secret police - the Cheka. He was Feliks Dzier偶y艅ski and a giant statue of him dominated the square for years. Its toppling in 1989 was a sign of the collapse of communism.
