O critică a izvoarelor privind numărul victimelor regimului comunist
A critical approach of the sources regarding the victims of the Communist regime

Summary/Abstract: After the collapse of Communism the public opinion was revealed the terrible crimes of an regime which called itself profoundly humanitarian. The first years after 1989 were characterized by an affluence of publications – many former political prisoners wrote their memoires -, documentary movies, recordings of oral history. This study critically analizes the different numbers of the victims of the Communist regime that all these sources give for real. Although good intentioned, trying to establish a number of the casualties was proved to be very difficult especially when approaches of different authours led to exagerations that threatened to make less credible the real number of the casualties.
