Summary/Abstract: Vasile Bărbulescu (1926-1991) was a high-ranking official in the area of agricultural policies during Communism. Brother-in-law of Nicolae Ceaușescu, he was promoted as deputy-chief of Agricultural Section of the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party in the second half af the last decade of Socialism. Of humble origins – very poor peasants from Scornicești village, the birthplace of the last Communist dictator – Vasile Bărbulescu was also a good manager and a supporter of development of his native county, Olt. Arrested in December 1989, he was released soon after and died of natural causes in 1991.
