Summary/Abstract: Aurel Ardeleanu joined in the Communist party in 1945 and he was appointed to higher and higher position in the armed forces. In 1954 he participated as a prosecutor in the Lucreţiu Pătrăşcanu and Vasile Luca’s trials. After Stalin’s death he became a follower of the Yugoslav leader Iosip Broz Tito and a supporter of de-Stalinization initiated in the Soviet Union. Being sentenced to 25 years in prison for „the crime of conspiracy against social order through agitation”, Aurel Ardeleanu was forced to go through a terrible ordeal. We have to mention that during the Second World War he has been interned in the prison camps on the Soviet Union.
