Summary/Abstract: Nicolae Ivănescu was a police officer in Bucharest between August 8, 1942 and May 21, 1945. He was arrested and sent as a political inmate in the gulag of Slobozia for almost a year. Coming back to Bucharest, he became a target for the Securitate, due to the informative notes written by his colleagues and acquaintances, being sentenced on November 15, 1958 to 15 years of heavy imprisonment in the Gherla prison. After being released from prison, the agents of the Securitate contacted him and tried, without success to make him an informer. He continued to the end of his life to have a hostile attitude towards the communist regime, exposing his dissatisfactions in public, even after he got warnings from the Security about this attitude.
