RELAȚIILE ROMÂNO-SOVIETICE DUPĂ 1964 ÎN CONTEXTUL RĂZBOIULUI INFORMAȚIONAL
ROMANIAN-SOVIET RELATIONS AFTER 1964, IN THE CONTEXT OF INTELLIGENCE WARFARE

Summary/Abstract: One of the most important disputes regarding Romania's foreign policy is about the Soviet-Romanian relations between the 60’s and the 80’s. On this account, a strong cleavage was born between two opposite sides: one arguing that after 1964, Romania embarked on a journey of real dissent from the Soviet Union and one claiming that Romania’s rebellion was false, tolerated and partly simulated by Soviet hegemonic power in order to make the country a "Trojan horse" of the communist bloc, sent to West eager for the friendship of any deserter from the East. This study aims to bring clarity and detailed nuances on Romanian-Soviet diplomatic relations from 1964 to 1989. We assume that the reason why the Soviet intelligence structures developed such hostile actions against Romania was the pronounced deterioration of political relations between the two countries or the political leadership of the two communist states’ parties, although such a distinction could be considered excessive.
