On AGrabowski’s editorial advice, I’ve made following changes since the original publish:

1) - What was:”The KDT hall was constructed in 2001 to replace an open air market of free standing metal stands popularly nicknamed “jaws”. Ten years ago the temporary shelter, which was a makeshift shopping center and not a “bazaar” as it is too often called, was considered to be an aesthetic face lift.” - Is now:”The KDT hall, which was a makeshift shopping center and not a “bazaar” as it is too often called, was constructed in 2001 to replace an open air market of free standing metal stands popularly nicknamed “jaws”. Made of sheets of corrugated metal it was always intended to be a temporary solution until the permanent shopping center was built in its stead. Ten years ago that temporary shelter, (while its aesthetic was questioned) was considered to be a face lift, certainly an improvement over the free standing stalls.”
2) - What was:”When Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz assumed the city presidency, the new mayorship found a new lofty idea for the exploitation of the most desirable real estate in the country - a Museum of Modern Arts. The plan for the prime spot occupied by the KDT has changed and along with it turned the fortune of the lessee retailers. The presence of provincial merchants trading cheap Asian goods, smack down at the center of Parade Square tarnished the image of Warsaw as a thriving European capital.” - Is now: “When Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz assumed the city presidency, the plans for the prime spot occupied by the KDT changed and along with it, turned the fortune of the lessee retailers. A shopping area is still part of the proposal for the development of the greater stretch of Parade Square, but its crown jewel will be a Museum of Modern Arts. On the first glance it is a lofty idea and a fitting design for exploitation of the most desirable real estate in the country. It is also a skillful public relations measure convincing the public that the presence of provincial merchants trading with cheap Asian goods is a tarnishing anathema to the image of Warsaw as a thriving European capital.”
3) - What was:”The city of Warsaw initially earmarked alternative locations to which the retailers could move but all of them turned out to be on the peripheries of the city.” - Is now:”Adding insult to injury, the city of Warsaw made the new proposed retail area “available” to the KDT merchants - at a rental market price (140 EU/m2 per month). To put things in perspective, presently, the EUR-PLN exchange is 1-4, while minimum wage is less than 1300 PLN monthly. Since, very predictably (and I dare to say premeditatedly) it was well beyond reach of the KDT partnership, the city earmarked alternative locations to which the retailers could move. All of them turned out to be on the peripheries of the city.”
4) - What was:”Among the most conservative, the disobeying of law, rioting and disorder are in themselves transgressions worthy of condemnation.” - Is now:”To some, the disobeying of law, rioting and disorder are in themselves transgressions worthy of condemnation.”
5) - What was:”The left wing intellectuals, those few remaining, or the few emerging who dare to admit to socialist leanings in post communist Poland, criticize the nationalist…” - Is now:”Others, criticize the nationalist…”
6) - What was:”Ironically, alongside the most conservative members of Polish society and the municipal government, this view…” - Is now:”Ironically, alongside the supporters of the municipal government, this view…”
7) - What was:”Who are the 1.25 mln people living in Poland?” - Is now:”Who are the 1.25 mln people living in Poland who choose to call themselves “other” or not to identify themselves at all?”
