Summary/Abstract: The investigation of the totalitarian phenomen and the violation of human rights call for methodological specifications. The essence of totalitarian regimes should be detached from the applied institutional structures or from the specific doctrine analyses. The avoidance of reduction to mere similitude, parallelism or linguistic expressions is proposed. When necessary, comparative studies with more rigorously controlled indicators and the proper and complex use of documents are suggested. Also, the range and the criteria of dissociation of totalitarianism are brought into discussion as well as the dissociation of the latter from other political regimes or other types of authoritarian discourse .
