Naşterea unui mit postcomunist: vizita Regelui Mihai în România, din aprilie 1992
The birth of a post-Communist myth: visit of King Michael in Romania, on aprilie 1992

Summary/Abstract: The complicate recent history of Eastern and Central Europe was and continue to be a varriable that must be take into account by every political or socio-economic analysis. The beginnings of democracy in this part of Europe meant, for a lot of nations who's past was under the rule of Communism, a tough battle with the reconsideration of their own history. To assume and to rewrite a history released by the remains of historiography, in different senses contaminated from the totalitarian regime represented an expedite. The way that the political, academic and cultural elite has treated this problem was not as expected. On the contrary, it gave birth to a factor and events complex that overlapped a political problem over an historical, memory one. The doctrinal ambiguity, the neopopulist trends, the reinforcement and the retirements of the political reforms have often transformed these political confrontations in veritable memory restorations, taken the form of certain reconstructions by the appeal to a continuous present, which is in a full progress. The overlapping levels – historical, political, electoral – arrived that way to generate surprising conotations and progresses, especially because that themselves have subsequent created large expectations, propelling veritable political mythologies. The new created spaces by this mix of recent history, of transition and memory helps us to understand the Post-Communist mythological confrontations.
