Arkadiusz 'Owca' Zajączkowski was one of the leaders of Warsaw anarchists from the very beginning of the movement in the 1980s. As soon as a teenager he organised rallies, demonstrations, and happenings, participated in street fights and hunger strikes, distributed anarchist papers under the socialist regime. Co-founder of the A-Cyclists collective, in the late 1980s he joined the Anarchist Federation. His engagement did not weaken when capitalism and liberal democracy were implemented. 'Owca', as his fellow anarchists, protested against democratic facade, nationalist, neoliberal governments, high prices, and the rise of unemployment in the first years of transition in Poland. He was also involved in anarchist and alter-globalist struggles across whole Europe. Zajączkowski is still an active member of the Anarchist Federation in Poland, especially in Silesia region, when he presently lives.

Zajączkowski had been documenting demonstrations and other activities by A-Cyclists group and different collectives representative for the anarchistic-ecological-punk orientation. In this way he spontaneously created the majority of the Fuck 89 archive. He had maintained the archive till 2014 when the 'Fuck 89' exhibition was organised on the basis of the collection. After the exhibition in Warsaw the archive was presented in a few other cities and became a common property of anarchist movement.

Zajączkowski played a major role in so-called youth opposition in Warsaw in times of Polish People's Republic. In the first years of the 1980s he was brought to the 'Solidarity' demonstrations by his father. A few years later he became one of the leaders of the anarchist movement in the Polish capital. Hostile toward socialist government, the anarchists were at the same time strongly critical toward 'Solidarity' and its bosses.
