Summary/Abstract: The events of 23rd of August 1944 have changed the history of the Second World War, at least from the point of view of its lasting. With the political changes that it provoked, it also influenced the way that the history was written. Certainly none of the main actors of the government strike neither desired, nor imagined that the rewriting of the history would be so different in Romania. None of them imagined that the changing of alliances in Romania would determine a finished process, fatally by Romanian occupation by the most feared neighbour and the founding of an anti-national government. The ones, who participated in the East war, were no more looked as Romanian citizens that made their duty in the war, but as enemies of their own country. Their level of their country love was assessed function of their attachment from another country, in fact Soviet Union. If this way of seeing things was easier to explain in the Soviet occupation, its raising, even in a shaded shape, or as a result of the bureaucratic inertia after the events from 1964, is stunting. The resistance force of the fifth dogmatic decade proved to be stronger than the renewal wave manifested by the Romanian society of the sixties period.
