The Romanian Repression System between Randomness and Prophylactic Action,

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to present the activity of the Romanian communist repression system, from the point of view of the random and prophylactic action. The General Direction for People’s Security, also popularly known as Security (ro. Securitatea) represented the instrument of the Communist Party through which the regime put into practice the Marxist-Leninist ideology. Taking into consideration the random and prophylactic size of this phenomenon, the research seeks to make an introduction on the impact and scale of this process starting from the functioning and organization of the Securitate system, the legal basis, the targeted socio-professional categories and ending with the random selection mechanism of the "enemies of the people". From the perspective of the conclusions, the work of the Security involved a random mechanism - a roulette of terror in which anyone could be targeted, a prophylactic system that helps the party to impose its own measures and remain in power.
