Nationhood under the Eastern Bloc: Romanian Communist Mode of Ethno-Political Construction as Response to the “Elder Brother” (late 60s - 70s). Analysts’ Assessments and Historians’ Views
Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2014, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
The article explores evolution of so-called Communist Nationhood under the Ceauşescu regime in late 60es – early 70es. The author of this research has accentuated several main points of the process, which lasted approximately a decade since N. Ceauşescu has come to power and tightens his grip on domestic affairs in view to secure unchallengeable domination over state and society. Ideology of Communist Nationhood with strongly developed ethnic accents has been worked out on the grounds of obsolete concepts and based on the set of historical doctrines designed to serve vital interests of the Communist dictatorship and its head. As the situation in Romania was being developed to more obvious results both in domestic and foreign policy areas during 60-es - 70es, foreign experts and historians of the time were analysing tight connection between ideology, interpretation of national history and politics of the Ceauşescu regime.
