While the Soviets were currently violated the postal correspondence, the Romanian Intelligence Services - State’s Siguranța - employed the same customs regarding al] relations with the big neighbour, due to the fear of possible communist conspiracies. There were few types of letters coming from USSR, usually from relatives: the appologetic mail strongly influenced by the Soviet propaganda and the letters criticizing the Communist regime. They all have in common a desperate demand of help and often the request of repatriation to Romania.
