Summary/Abstract: The text reveals how, in the first years of the totalitarian regime, the communists got rid of the political enemies of their party, therefore of everyone that had a different political hue. Particular attention is given to identifying the “legal” reasons, invented overnight in order to maintain a façade of legality (pluralist Romania still existed, though increasingly deprived of content), on which the arrests were based.
