Problema Basarabiei în preocuparea structurilor informative românești din perioada regimului comunist
The Bessarabia Question in the Romanian Intelligence Services’ Concerns during the Communist Regime

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the circumstances in which, against the backdrop of the relative political liberalization in Romania at the end of the 1960s, the Department of Foreign Intelligence (Military Unit 0920) of the Department of State Security (DSS) launched Operation "Brândușa". Its primary objective was to gather intelligence through specific operational methods in order to obtain information and document the realities of the Romanian territories occupied by the USSR after the Second World War.Within the framework of Operation "Brândușa", a series of intelligence activities were carried out to document the ways in which Soviet authorities and historiography presented the history of the Romanian people, particularly that of Bessarabia. The operation also monitored how this issue was reflected in Western scholarly studies, publications, and mass media, including publications produced by the Romanian exile.
