Summary/Abstract: The end of the Stalinist era found Romania and the United States in a period of great ideological tensions in terms of an increasingly political hostility. Although the diplomatic relations were conserved on the surface, the relations between the two countries didn’t even respect the formal rules. In 1952 there were no economic relations, no interest in the cultural ones and the harassment between these two legalities was transfigured into a „work of art” by the Romanian and the American governments, while the diplomatic staff was reduced to a ridiculous a number. However, while the Americans were totally isolated in Romania, the Legation of R.P.R. in Washington carried on intensive activities of cultural propaganda, supervised the emigration of the Romanians in the U.S. and acted for a much needed integration in the U.N.
