Stanislaw Jaros (January 19, 1932 – January 5, 1963) was a Polish electrician who was executed for carrying out two assassination attempts on Polish Communist leader, Wladyslaw Gomulka, and the Soviet leader, Nikita Khrushchev.
In 1948, Jaros tried to steal 100 bullets from a factory in Sosnowiec. For this, he was arrested, tortured and put in prison. He was released in 1951 and decided to get revenge on the communist government. In the same year, he blew up telephone facilities in Dąbrowa Górnicza. Later, he blew up a utility pole at Sosnowiec Steelworks, as well as an excavator at the Kazimierz Coal Mine in Sosnowiec. In 1953, he planted a bomb under an excavator at the Joseph Stalin Coal Mine in Sosnowiec. On 5th July 1959, Jaros placed a bomb in a lime tree near a communist police station, in the city of Zagórze. Gomulka and Khrushchev were going to visit the city and Jaros hoped to assassinate them. However, the bomb exploded 3 hours before the arrival of the motorcade, resulting in the injury of only one person. On 3rd December 1961, Jaros tried to assassinate Gomulka again during his visit to a coal mine in Sosnowiec. However, the attempt failed, and only two bystanders got injured by the bomb. Eventually, Jaros got arrested due to his being on the list of suspects, and while in his cell, he admitted to planting the bombs to an undercover officer. He was found guilty, sentenced to death, and hanged on 5th January 1963.
