Summary/Abstract: After World War II, at the initiative of the USSR, a military alliance was organized in the Eastern Communist bloc, in which the USSR took on the primary role of leadership and coordination. The so-called Warsaw Pact constituted, for the "armed forces" of the Romanian People's Republic, the end of the social transformations and the transition from the elitist royal army to the new soviet military establesment, purified and strongly ideologized on the basis of Stalinist principles.
