Dwarfs first appeared in Poland in the 80s. After the introduction of martial law, walls in Poland bore anti-government slogans such as: “There’s no freedom without Solidarity”. The authorities were painting over them and all of Poland was suddenly covered with white spots. It was then that Major Fydrych had an ingenious idea to paint dwarfs on them. Next, the dwarfs left the walls, went out onto the streets and began to organize happenings under the slogans “There’s no freedom without Dwarfs”. The disoriented police arrested dwarfs in orange hats. Communism had reached the extremes of absurdity. It was in this way that dwarfs have added to the fall of PRL and the Berlin Wall. When the “Orange Revolution” began in Ukraine, the Polish dwarfs took it upon themselves to support it. The move began in Warsaw with the collecting of support statements on a 200-metre long orange banner which was later hung from the thirtieth floor of the Palace of Culture. The heads of the two candidates: Yushchenko and Yanukovich, were carved from chocolate. The Ukrainian star named Ruslana had began to make an orange scarf which was continued during the nights by the dwarfs. A week before the last round of elections, an orange bus left Warsaw heading towards Kiev. Underway, the dwarfs organized in different Polish and Ukrainian cities, street events: they gathered support for the orange ribbon, invited people to help in the making of Ruslana’s orange scarf, and let people test the authority by putting the chocolate heads on display and painted their fingernails orange. One huge success was an “orange television set” made from cardboard, in which anyone could appear and voice their opinion. The welcome given to the dwarfs by the Ukrainians was amazing. The young, the old and children reacted with great sincerity. They were grateful that someone remembered them and that they were not alone in their fight for freedom. The still valid historical problems of the Polish-Ukrainian relations ceased to exist. The stereotype of viewing Ukrainians as illegal workers and cleaning maids in Poland had been broken. The dwarfs saw a full society fighting for its independence. The finalization of the dwarf’s mission took place in Kiev. The 200-metre orange banner of support was hung along the “tent city”. Even when the markers ran out, the women of Kiev were writing their words of support using their lipsticks. The chocolate head of Yushchenko was handed over to the Museum of the Orange Revolution while the head of Yanukovich was eaten by the inhabitants of Lvov, Ternopol, Khmelnitsky and Vinnitsa. Ruslana’s scarf was hung around the neck of the new president of Ukraine. A few hours after the closing of the ballot boxes, in the presence of 200,000 people gathered at Independence Square, the president accepted the orange scarf as a symbol of the unity of Ukraine with Poland, Europe and the whole world. It was by this that the dwarfs had fulfilled their useful mission. The film crew, who accompanied the dwarfs with three cameras, had a chance to film not only spectacular events. The everyday contacts of the dwarfs with the Ukrainian reality on the streets, markets and in hotels give a multi-layered view of that reality. Some of the dwarfs were Ukrainians studying in Poland who invited us to their houses. Over a dozen dwarfs in orange hats sat around the Christmas tree in a typical apartment to drink tea with the eight members of the Mai family. We also visited the countryside which is home to Andrew, one cow, one pig and a wooden loo. His mother welcomed all dwarfs with a dinner of potatoes with greaves and a hooch. The result of this expedition is a documentary film directed by Mirosław Dembiński entitled: “The Dwarfs Go to Ukraine”.
