ÎNCEPUTUL PROCESULUI DE COLECTIVIZARE ÎN JUDEŢUL ALBA (1949-1952)
THE BEGINNING OF COLECTIVIZATION IN ALBA COUNTY

Summary/Abstract: The paper refers to the campaign beginning of colectivization in Alna conty, in fact a masked form of land confiscation in private property. The beginning of this process was given by the “colectivization campaign and the kulaks liquidation” decided at the Plenary Session of the Central committee of the Romanian Labour Party, in 3-5 March 1949. Publicaly declared as a tremendous humanitarian project of the peasantry class, the colectivization process started in Alba County had registred a great reject of the landowners and they were not the only ones to protest against this decision. The peasantry in Alba county, highly attached to the traditional values, while a great sentiment of property, became almost immune to this dangerous experiment. This fact became evident between 1949-1952 then in Alba County were registred 3552 vials on sabotage charge. It is obvious that the charge was artificial, order to hide the political abuses of the communists. This process knew, in Alba County and in the whole county, many innocent victim and tragedies denied by the communists at that time.
