IDÉOLOGIE, PARTI ET NATION – LÉGITIMER LA VOIE ROUMAINE VERS LE SOCIALISME
IDEOLOGY, PARTY AND NATION - ROMANIAN LEGITIMATE WAY TO SOCIALISM

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses programmatic documents and official publications of the Romanian Communist Party in order to obtain a large perspective on the way in which, beginning with the 6th decade, the ideological symbiosis, as sign of Ceauşescu’s regime, constitutes. Elements of continuity to the last years of Gheorghiu-Dej regime are reviewed and we also tried to explain political and ideological mechanisms by which the new direction initiated by Nicolae Ceauşescu managed to blend elements of national political culture, specific to the period before communism. As a conclusion, we appreciate that the process of re-writing the history of Romanian communism, based on a new ideological scale, relied on the relationship between the history of the Romanian Communist Party and the Romanian nation, did not have a success within the Party and it was only partially compelling for the elite involved in this propaganda. However, it managed to change the political culture of the Romanian society.
