Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze the way in which the historical discourse concerning the coup d'état of August 23rd evolved on festive occasions such as its celebrations from 1979, 1984 and 1989, due to their historiographical significance. We shall see how the historical discourse presented various aspects concerning the coup, such as explaining why it can be deemed as such. Also, we will observe the role played by political parties in preparing the overthrow of Marshall Ion Antonescu, the role of King Michael, the Army, and of Lucrețiu Pătrășcanu.
