Summary/Abstract: The soviet type communism, imposed gradually in Romania by the Stalin communists after 1944 and institutionalized in 1948, was manifested by an alert Stalinization from an ideological and practical point of view, after the model and realizations of the “big friend from the East”. Even after august 23st 1944, the communist, encouraged by the presence of the Red Army in Romania, created, trough the press the illusion of the construction of a “popular democracy”. This ideal could be achieved only trough the help of the institutional and cultural sovietisation and communization.
