Tensiuni în relațiile româno-sovietice în anul „Primăverii de la Praga”
Romanian-Soviet Tensions in the Year of the Prague Spring

Summary/Abstract: The 1965 change of leadership in Bucharest did not lessen the tensions that had shown in the Romanian-Soviet relations in the last part of the Dej epoch. The decision of the new leader, Nicolae Ceaușescu, to continue his predecessor’s policy caused the divergences between the two parties to grow deeper. The tension reached a high in the summer of 1968, when the troops of the Warsaw Treaty invaded Czechoslovakia and Romania openly lashed against the invasion. The documents presented in this article provide an inventory of the hostile actions the USSR undertook in relation to Romania against the background of the events in Czechoslovakia: statements by the Soviet officials, articles in the Soviet press, meetings of the CPSU party cells to debate Romania’s position.
