George Călinescu, publicist in the 1946 electoral campaign - the „progress” against „historical parties”

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present and discuss the 1946 electoral campaign in Soviet occupied Romania as reflected in the editorials signed by literary critic George Călinescu, director of the newspaper „Națiunea” (The Nation). We focus on the political editorials and follow his growing devotion to the communist cause that took place between March and November 1946. Starting as a distant sympathizer in March, he will become by the time of the November elections a loyal ally and gain a seat in the Parliament as a reward for his effort.
