The 1923 Kraków riot was a riot that took place during a violent strike on 6 November 1923 in Kraków, Poland. The incident is also called the 1923 Kraków uprising, particularly by Marxist sources.[1][2] Demonstrators took control of the Main Market Square area and disarmed some troops.[3][4] Eventually troops and police were ordered to fire on the workers, but some soldiers refused. Three armored cars were used,[4] one of which, named Dziadek ("Grandpa"), was captured by the workers in the Market Square area.[3]
