Summary/Abstract: The secret report N.S. Khrushchev presented at the 20th congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in February 1956 triggered a fierce dispute at the top in the Romanian Workers Party. Miron Constantinescu and Iosif Chisinevschi tried to capitalize on the deStalinization trend and make Gh. Gheorghiu-Dej appear as a little local Stalin that had to be dismissed. The dispute only ended in the summer of 1957, when the two mavericks were removed from the RWP leadership.
