Retragerea trupelor sovietice de ocupatie din România, 1958
Regarding the Withdrawal from Romania of the Soviet Occupation Troops in the Summer of 1958

Summary/Abstract: The article briefly reveals some of the main actions that established the Soviet military occupation in Romania from World War II until the summer of 1958 and also surveys the steps that made it possible for this event to take place successfully, which would undoubtedly foster a new direction in Romanian politics. Except subsequently Albania, the Romanian People's Republic was the only member country of the Warsaw Treaty from which the Soviet Union withdrew its troops. Also on this issue there are different views: was it the result of the subtlety of the Romanian Workers' Party leadership, especially Gheorghiu-Dej, as evidenced in memoirs, or higher was the economic and military purpose of the Soviet Union, especially Nikita Khrushchev, as researchers considered in terms of studying the Romanian and Soviet archival sources?
