Summary/Abstract: The 1975 debates at the Writers’ Union, during the years of Ceaușescu’s Chinese-inspired cultural revolution, prove the involvement of the Romanian Communist Party leadership in the process to ideologize the Romanian culture from the perspective of revolutionary passion. The Writers’ Union later monopolized all Iiterary publications: it supported them financially and it provided ideological guidance to them.
