Limitele suveranității Vizita lui Nicolae Ceaușescu la Moscova, septembrie 1965 I
The Limits of Sovereignty. Nicolae Ceaușescu's visit to Moscow, September 1965, I

Summary/Abstract: In the early 60s Romanian-Soviet relations entered a new stage, when the Romanian communists refused to accept subordination to the Soviets. In September 1965 the new Bucharest team traveled to Moscow, on a so-called confirmation visit, with an agenda that caused bewilderment and even irritation with the Soviets. The Romanian delegation mainly asked for clarification of certain political and economic issues (returning of Romania’s treasury and the party archives, the relations within the Warsaw Treaty, etc.). As the visit drew to an end, the Soviet leadership promised that the “subjectivism” of the Khrushchev era would be dumped as far as bilateral relations were concerned. But Bucharest wanted firm Soviet guarantees that equality relations would be maintained in the spirit of the April 1964 Declaration.
