REALISME SOCIALISTE OU REALITES SOCIALISTES DANS LE ROMAN ‘MITREA COCOR’ ?
SOCIALIST REALISM OR SOCIALIST REALITIES IN THE NOVEL 'MITREA COCOR'?

Summary/Abstract: The Romanian novel after the Second World War subscribes to a popular-socialist ideology of profound Soviet influence, during the proletarian period. This current manifested itself as an ideological roller coaster of an aggressive communism, eager to transform language and artistic and literary expression into a manipulative-ideological technique. Contrary to the mentality of the founders of socialism, of easy separation from the past, in the case of post-war Romanian literature of Soviet inspiration, the harsh Leninist model of promoting open resentments against former “exploiters” was applied. The social and political levelling was extended in literary and artistic terms, being imposed as a mirror and spokesman of the new society, “of the new type of man”.
