Summary/Abstract: “The document we choose to publish presents the debates which took place on October 24th, 1978 within the ideological commission of Central Committee of Romanian Communist Party to prepare the sixty years celebration of 1918 “Great Union”. According to the directives of the general secretary of Romanian Communist Party, Nicolae Ceauşescu, the celebration had to be placed in the context of the “socialist construction” of the era. As a consequence, historical events lost their importance as the emphasis was put on the glorification of “achievements” of the communist regime in the 70s and 80s.
