Intelectualitatea condamnată să trăiască ... Bine sau deloc. În epoca de aur
Intellectuals: Compelled to Stay Alive ... for Better of Worse. In the Golden Age

Summary/Abstract: In the early 1960s, Romania’s communist government began to assert some independence from the Soviet Union. Nicolae Ceauşescu became head of the Communist Party in 1965 and head of state in 1967. In his early years in power, Ceauşescu was genuinely popular, both at home and abroad. The period of freedom and apparent prosperity was to be short-lived. Aabuses of human rights were typical of a Stalinist regime: a massive force of secret police (the „Securitate”), censorship, relocations, but not on the same scale as in the 1950s. Control over society became stricter and stricter, with Securitate recruiting more agents, extending censorship and keeping tabs and records on a large segment of the population.
