ATACUL ASUPRA LIMBII ROMÂNE
The Assault against Romanian Language

Summary/Abstract: From the early years of communist regime the Romanian rulers and the Soviet counsellors triggered actions of destruction over the Romanian culture. Great cultural personalities were imprisoned in unsanitary and remote prisons, some scientists became fugitives and tried to survive away from the big cities. The persecution was triggered against the Romanian language and Romanian literature by having them excluded from the school textbooks and university programs the representative patriotic writers. The press overwhelmingly praised the soviet and Russian writers. The Russian language became compulsory in elementary schools and universities. Access to Western literature was banned. It was asserted that Romanian language is not of Latin origin but Slavic origin. The study presents the stages of this cultural aggressiveness.
