Intelectualii, opinia publică și imaginea U.R.S.S. în anii ’30
Intellectuals, Public Opinion and the Image of the U.S.S.R in the 1930s

Summary/Abstract: Faced with the Soviet reality for the first time, the Romanian media and intelligentsia reacted variedly and cautiously. Their perception varied from mistrust of the former enemy, whose historically negative image was now supplanted by a potentially dangerous ideological side, to some - very few - cases of partisan enthusiasm. Such was the case of the shortly lived Association of USSR’s Friends, which was put an end to by the national secret police. A special case is that of Romanian diplomats accredited to the Soviet Capital in 1934. Their reports, now available in the Diplomatic Archive of the Romanian Foreign Ministry, show the extent to which the Soviet society could be perceived right there, on the spot.
