Summary/Abstract: Beyond the ups and downs the Romanian-Soviet relations experienced under communism at the level of leaders, contacts between ordinary people continued in a prevailingly positive manner. An example: Romanians used to travel to the USSR, which occasioned small tourist traffic, with advantages to either side. The friendship between the people of the two countries was thus consolidated not through propaganda, but based on the pecuniary interest stimulated by black market exchanges.
