Dumitru Popescu, marele pontif al religiei politice ceauşiste
Dumitru Popescu, the great Pontiff of Ceauşescu’s political religion

Summary/Abstract: The six volumes Memoirs of Dumitru Popescu – former N. Ceausescu’s chief ideologue – is an important opportunity to analyze his political biography. Dumitru Popescu’s memoirs are full of clichés regarding the class struggle, exploitation, Western imperialism, late 1980s Gorbachev’s plot and so on. In fact, Popescu was a significant promoter of Nicolae Ceausescu’s cult of personality who also supported the institutional mechanisms of the communist regime in order to achieve the submission of the individual to party authority and internalization of cultic rituals.
