Summary/Abstract: To bring Romania under the rule of the Communist Party, the new regime took recourse to the annihilation of the country ’s political and cultural elite and the development of a new army, as an instrument of oppression and representative of the totalitarian regime. The legislation on the application of the Armistice Convention, signed on September 12, 1944. makes obvious the trend of instituting a "popular army", as obedient to the party as it was unconscious in fulfilling its role of rendering immutable a regime the ideology of which consists in utterly denying the citizens of the totalitarian state their human rights.
