Summary/Abstract: Based on personal experience of a Romanian Gulag survivor, Nicolae Itul, this study attempts to highlight the ways in which the prisoners had answered against oppression in nursing penitentiary and prison Târgu Ocna and Caransebeş. Nicholas Itul, considered "top of detainees" by the Securitate, had a significant role confronting oppressive forces. Giving to others physical and moral support, showing an anticommunist attitude are features that characterize both biographical speech and prison experience.
