Summary/Abstract: In spite of the political communism’s fall and of exposing its criminal character, theoretically and practically alike, after 1989 we were witnesses to no real evaluation, with concrete consequences, of a regime which made over one hundred million victims in the entire world. The condemnation of communism was made only in the form of some timid initiatives or some political declarations, without any practical results. This situation confirms the fact that, more than two decades after the transition from totalitarianism to democracy in Eastern Europe, the communism continues to represent an unsolved ethical dilemma. The present study reviews the initiatives at a European level regarding the eventual condemnation of communism.
