Problema pregătirii ideologice a membrilor P.C.R. reflectată în cadrul unor documente din anul 1971
The problem of the ideological education of the Romanian Communist Party members reflected in some documents from 1971

Summary/Abstract: The Leninist dogma about the leading role of the (communist) party in society represented one of the basic features of the postwar regimes, Romania included. To ensure the most efficient playing of this role, the party members had to attend marxist-leninist politico-ideological training sessions at specialised institutions. The present article is based on some documents produced in 1971, at the level of the leadership of the communist party, regarding exactly some aspects of this problem: the institutions, the mechanisms and the level of training (and selection) of the trainees. We must mention the fact that for the history of the communist regime in Romania the year 1971 has double importance, marking both the 50-year jubilee of the foundation of the party and the launching on July, 6-th the famous thesis by Nicolae Ceausescu, referring to the strengthening of the ideological control of the cultural life. In this way, after some years of relative but noticeable relaxation, which started in 1963/1964, the dogmatism showed strong signs of coming back.
