Summary/Abstract: The article addresses a topic unexplored so far. It highlights the intense propaganda made by the communist authorities in Dâmboviţa county during 1949-1950, at the beginning of the collectivization of agriculture.

In fact, the article wants to highlight the drama of the villages in Dambovita county, as part of the drama of the Romanian rural world during 1949-1950, when many of them rejected the collectivization and paid for their courage.
