Summary/Abstract: The visit paid by Nikita Khrushchev to Romania from 18 to 25 June 1962, shortly after the beginning of the Romanian-Soviet economic dispute inside the COMECON, marked the beginning of the alienation of the Romanian Workers’ Party from Moscow, and was fouled by countless tensions throughout the talks attended by the two delegations. The present study relies on Romanian archive documents and aims to reveal the main dissensions which marked this encounter, as well as their impact on the Romanian-Soviet relations.
