Tineretul „României democrat-populare”: Rezistenţă şi conformism social
The Youth of “People’s Democratic Romania”: Resistance and Social Conformism

Summary/Abstract: The experience of the young generation of the 1950s is one that embodies the tragic destiny of the entire Romanian society of those years, the youth being perhaps the finest barometer of the profound social changes experienced by the Romanian community. Sovietisation and Stalinism, the 20th Congress of the C.P.S.U. with partial and politically motivated exposure of the crimes of the regime of the late dictator I.V. Stalin, the Hungarian revolution, the affirmation of “Dejism” and the national line of the Romanian Workers’ Party policy, the retreat of the Soviet troops from the country, youth sites and internal migration, the cooperativization and industrialization of the country, the first five-year plan, etc. are only some of the milestones that marked those troubled years leding either to resistance or to social conformity from young people.
