PROCESUL DE COMUNIZARE A UNIVERSITĂŢII CLUJENE ÎN MEMORIA STUDENŢEASCĂ (1945-1948)
THE IMPOSITION OF COMMUNISM IN THE CASE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CLUJ AS PORTRAYED IN STUDENT RECOLLECTIONS (1945-1948)

Summary/Abstract: Employing the testimonies of those who were experiencing back then their student years, the study aims at drawing attention to the so called moment of short circuit in the history of the University of Cluj, a moment which ultimately led to the definite imposition of communism within this institution. The study focuses on the actions and reactions of the students to political pressure, especially the one coming from the communist side, but primarily on the resistance act of 1946, an action that culminated with the strike initiated by the „Avram Iancu” student hostel. The crush of the student resistance was followed by a voluntary submission on behalf of many of the members of the teaching staff, who consented to their implication in romanian-soviet „amity” associations and societies, which were in fact the creation of the Communist Party.
