Summary/Abstract: Things that we, who lived the glory years of communism, consider trivial, seem unreal to those born after the Revolution of 1989. To be watched by state institutions, to have your phone tapped or your correspondence censored were things which constantly reminded us that we had no control over our lives. Born in Bacău in 1909, Marius Mircu belonged to one of the most educated communities, the Jewish community, being considered the senior dean of the Romanian publicists in Israel, being included in the elite gallery of Romanian reportage, together with Brunea Fox and Geo Bogza. This is due to his remarkable contributions from the interwar period. He shyly began his career at the age of 16, continuing to write for more than eight decades, until his death stopped him from writing. Our study aims to reveal the life and the activity of Marius Mircu since 1983, one of the periods when he was followed almost permanently by the Romanian Communist Secret Police.
