Summary/Abstract: 1956 was a milestone in the evolution ofCommunist states. Present-day historians find it interesting to see how a foreign observer perceived the Bucharest regime at that time. The article contains the synthesis-report of France’s minister to Bucharest, Pierre Francfort, on the situation in 1956 Romania. The French diplomat notes the “discreet way” the Gheorghiu-Dej regime conducted the destalinization process. The document comes from the Archives of France’s Foreign Ministry. Ovidiu Bozgan is Ph.D. in history, Lecturer with the University of Bucharest, Faculty of History. He is the head of the Center of Church History, University of Bucharest. Recent work: Romania vs. Vatican, 2000.
