Denunţarea cultului personalităţii. Cazul „Grupului Petrescu- Eremia- Duşa”
The Denunciation of the Cult of Personality. The Case of the „Petrescu – Eremia – Dușa Group”

Summary/Abstract: Stalin’s death prompted the leadership of the Communist Parties to burst a broad debate on the cult of personality of the deceased dictator. This study aims to portray the discussions of a clandestine group of former militants in the outlaw epoch of the Romanian Worker Party. Encouraged by the „new course” promoted by Moscow, the participants to these discussions raised some issues related to the economic policy in the Party, to the selection and promotion of Party members, to the repression of some party members. The group members were sanctioned by the plenary of the Central Committee of the RWP of July 16-17, 1956. This was one of the episodes of the struggle for power within the Party, which ended with the victory of Gheorghiu-Dej, who attained the absolute political authority in the Party and State.
