Summary/Abstract: The treaty Romania signed with the Soviet Union in February 4, 1948 was concluded at Soviet intiative, without preliminary consulatations, and it marked the official political-military subordination of Romania towards USSR. Also, the treaty stipulated the giving up of the Island of Snakes to the Soviet Union. The Romanian delegation, led by the Prime Minister Petru Groza and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ana Pauker, didn’t raise any objections, complying to all Soviet demands. Dragoş Zamfirescu – PhD, is specialized in the study of right-wing extremism in Romania (the interwar years) and of the totalitarian models that emerged after WW2, when the so-called socialist camp came into being.
