Kukliński's legacy today is still a matter of debate between Poles over whether he was a good or bad man. Despite Kukliński’s stated aims and the fact that he received no payment from the Americans, many consider him a traitor to his fellow soldiers and to the country he was supposed to be serving; a statue to him in Kraków has been vandalised on numerous occasions. By many others, on the other hand, he is considered an anti-communist hero who was trying to undermine the Soviet grip on Poland, protect his country and prevent a catastrophic war. In 2014 a Polish film about Kukliński’s life was released, entitled Jack Strong, his CIA codename.
