Summary/Abstract: Romanian-Soviet diplomatic relations were resumed on August 6, 1945 as a result of the Russians applying a strategy to exert total intelligence control on Romanian developments. In this context, the “mission” of the Romanian Embassy in Moscow, headed by Iorgu Iordan, had a “decorative” role par excellence. Most of the work the Romanian diplomats performed was geared at informing Russian officials about the communist takeover and the anti-communist strategies of the leaders of the “historical parties,” considered “reactionary”.
