Frontátvonulás és az újabb „román világ” kezdetei Szépvízen (1944–1945)
The Passing of the Front and the Beginnings of Postwar Transition in Szépvíz/Frumoasa (1944-1945)

Summary/Abstract: Szépvíz/Frumoasa is located in the eastern part of Transylvania, in the historical region of Széklerland – nowadays central Romania. In September 1944, the inhabitants of this settlement had to endure the passing of the front with the retreat of the German and Hungarian armies and the advance of the Soviet and Romanian armies. Following a notable intermezzo under Soviet military administration, the rule of the Romanian Kingdom was (re)instated. This study explores the history of this period from a micro-historical perspective, covering the multiple transitions at the local level from September 1944 to 1945, based on archival sources, available literature, and oral history interviews.
