Summary/Abstract: The ideological/propaganda worker/commissar was the leader of political education circles, the framework and the core of the Party capable to make speeches, inspire the masses, and convey the political message of the establishment to the public. These agents of propaganda – also known as agitators, propagandists, ideologists or lecturers, at different stages in the history of Romanian communism – were true craftsmen and vehicles of the voice of political power operating in educational institutions. The activity of the propagandists – whether they operated in education or other areas – was assessed by the Propaganda and Agitation Section. The Section watched closely how they understood, appropriated and applied in practice the Party’s decisions and guidelines, reporting to the local Party Committee on all of these aspects.
