After the liberation, due to wartime annihilation of Warsaw, Waldorff settled in Kraków between 1946 and 1950, where he wrote for the popular magazine Przekrój.
In 1950, during the years of Stalinism in Poland, Tyrmand was removed from the editorial board of popular Przekrój magazine for his report about a boxing tournament, in which he criticized the Russian judges for their pro-Soviet bias (their unfair decisions spurred protests among the boxing fans leading to police intervention).
Among the former contributors to Przekrój were such personalities of Polish literary scene as: Maria Dąbrowska, Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz, Jan Brzechwa, Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński, Kazimierz Wyka, Daniel Mróz, Jerzy Waldorff, Sławomir Mrożek, Ludwik Jerzy Kern and Jan Błoński.
