ESCAPEES AT THE BORDER. SUCCESS OR FAILURE IN FLEEING COMMUNIST ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: The frontier is viewed having a sensitive role in the history of communist Romania. Our study deals with the strategies crossing the Danube to the former Yugoslavia. Communist Romania invented a border concept that had in its centre not the enemy from the outside, but the escapee coming from the inside. The materialization of this understanding of the border was an integrated border-zone aiming at catching and punishing the escapees who would dare to challenge the establishment.
