MĂRTURIA UNUI DISIDENT
THE TESTIMONY OF A DISIDENT

Summary/Abstract: The author created with this study a panorama of his own disidence in the second part of the ‘80s.The starting point of this contesting attitude was considered to be the Romanian communist regime; the act of refuzing compromize (having deep roots within the family training), “samiszdat” literature (Orwell, Saharov), appointments with an old friend of his, Teodor Vulcan, having the same preocupations, are just few turning points of his disidence. Gabriel Andreescu’s activity has been severely watched by Security because of his goings abroad, materialized by sending critical texts against Romanian communism; next stage was his arrest and investigations. The remake of his own disidence is only a step of the large Romanian movement of disidence. For instance, the author observed the fragility of Romanian disidence, incapable of coordinating in order to surpass a solitary activity. On his opinion, this lack had consequences especially after 1989: “The absence of the oppozition, having its own mentality and strategies is considered to be the main reason why the first stage of the Revolution of December 1989 failed. The whole evolution could have been different if this kind of a symbol against communism had joined us from the very moment of driving away Ceauşescu”.
