Roman "Romek" Strzałkowski (1943–1956) was a 13-year-old pupil killed during anti-communist protests in Poznań in 1956. He has become one of the best-known symbols of anti-communist resistance in Poland. Since 1981 one of Poznań's streets has been named after him.
According to the latest research by Łukasz Jastrząb of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, his death might have been accidental. However, it's impossible to prove it.
