Summary/Abstract: Perestroika and glasnost, initiated in the Soviet Union by the new leader Michail Gorbachev in mid ’80’s created the premises for democratic reforms in East-Central Europe countries and also led to the 1989 antitotalitarian revolutions. Although most of the Communist countries adopted perestroika, that was not the case for Romania where Ceausescu tried very hard to resist to what the Romanian leadership called to be „the fatal influences of Gorbachev’s reforms”.
