śp. Główny Urząd Kontroli Prasy, Publikacji i Widowisk

Polish to English Art/Literary Government / Politics
Zwłaszcza mam problem z Kontrolą i z Widowiskami - google search w zasadzie nic nie pomógł; na Widowiska dałbym performing arts ale czy ten termin chodził za życia tej zacnej instytucji?

Andrzej Mierzejewski Feb 3, 2023:
Jeszcze kwestia, czy angielski czytelnik zna znaczenie skrótu "ś.p." w kontekście historii Polski i czy zrozumie ironię.
geopiet Feb 3, 2023:
re: zgodnie z oryginałem można też "dearly departed" lub "much lamented"... :)

choć w przypadku tego urzędu to raczej "unlamented/non-lamented" ...
Andrzej Mierzejewski Feb 3, 2023:
defunct, bygone, disbanded, the late...

Why not R.I.P.? Byłoby z ironicznym wydźwiękiem - podejrzewam, że zgodnie z oryginałem.

bygone Main Office of Control of Press, Publications and Shows

Censorship in Communist Poland was primarily performed by the Polish Main Office of Control of Press, Publications and Shows [pl] (Główny Urząd Kontroli Prasy, Publikacji i Widowisk), a governmental institution created in 1946 by the pro-Soviet Provisional Government of National Unity with Stalin's approval and backing, and renamed in 1981 as the Główny Urząd Kontroli Publikacji i Widowisk (GUKPiW). The bureau was liquidated after the fall of communism in Poland, in April 1990.[

In Poland under communist rule, censorship was institutionalised through the activity of the Main Office for the Control of Press, Publications and Shows (Główny Urząd Kontroli Prasy, Publikacji i Widowisk) which operated with an elaborate set of instructions and prohibitions, as revealed in the erstwhile émigré publication of the Black Book of Censorship in the Polish People’s Republic (Czarna księga cenzury PRL). - https://notesfrompoland.com/2020/06/10/how-rock-music-became...

abolished Main Office for Control of Press, Publications and Public Performances

Tak widziałem np. w Michigan Law Review 83/1985 i w jeszcze jakiejś publikacji.
Ale np. w "Books Abroad" (Vol. 47, No. 1, 1973) jest "Central Office for Control of Publishing, Press, and Communications"
