Summary/Abstract: The author publishes six documents from the archives of the former Romanian Communist Party that attest to expenditure exclusively for the benefit of the party and the nomenklatura, all covered from the public budget. The privileges included: very high salaries in terms of the work done, housing built from party funds, trips abroad for personal purposes with foreign currency provided by the Party Administration Section of the CC of the WPR, vacations at closed-circuit hotels and villas the party owned in the mountains, on the sea coast and near Bucharest, home help paid by the party etc. The WPR/RCP thus appears as a parasite that swallowed about 30.75 million dollars (in 1965 alone) from the state’s resources so the top brass of the party and their henchmen should not have to relinquish the power and the communist line should be maintained in this country
