'''Lech Walesa''' (born 1943) was a leader in the anti-Communist movement in [[Poland]], then a Soviet satellite nation, in the 1980s. In 1980, he led a strike at the Gdansk shipyard, which led to strikes throughout Poland for workers' rights. He was awarded the 1983 Nobel Peace Prize for his actions.
