Summary/Abstract: During a meeting with a R.C.P. delegation, in March 1951, Stalin made accusations that in Romania there was an „unmarxist peasant policy”. Next year, Gheorghiu-Dej would use this accusation, related to the advantageous fiscal protection for peasant, which didn’t apply to workers, to generate „the matter of right deviation” and to eliminate his main opponents: Ana Pauker, Vasile Luca and Teohari Georgescu. Although lacking serious grounds, the theory of „enriched peasants” would have as results a harsher tax regime on peasants and the intensification of agricultural collectivization.
