Lech Walesa, founder of the Solidarity movement and Polish anti-communist leader is elected Poland's first democratically elected President on December 9, 1990. He won a landslide victory in the first free presidential election in Poland marking a key moment in Eastern Europe's shift from communism.
He served until 1995 when he narrowly lost his re-election bid to a former communist. He established the Lech Walesa Institute and remained a global symbol of non-violent struggle for democracy.
