Summary/Abstract: The communist regime in Romania has strongly influenced the historiography. A theme as that of the social structures was preferred by the communist ideologists for justifying the superiority of the communist organisation model over the other periods and for searching common features between the Romanian society and the communist ideology from the earliest periods. The modern age was surely “the test field” of the communists, because all the great events and reforms of the modern era had a strong social pattern. It is the reason for which the party ideology and the issue of the social structures should be presented by true specialists. After 1989, in the conditions of democracy, this theme was presented according to the European context. In the last 25 years, the historians have analysed this problem, starting from the principles used by the social history, sociology and even political sciences.
