Instituţionalizarea aparatului de control al partidului comunist Comisia de Control a C.C. al P.C.R., 1945-1947
The Romanian Communist Party Central Committee’s Control Commission, 1945-1947

Summary/Abstract: My text is considering an analysis of the Romanian Communist Party (RCP) Central Committee’s Control Commission between 1945-1947, and tries to explain how the internal control apparatus of the RCP was institutionalized. In order to suggest a coherent description of the process, I will consider three major issues. Firstly, I am interested in understanding how and why the Control Commission was instituted. Beyond the official explanations, it would be interesting to see whether the establishment of the Commission was a simple act of institutional mimicry, or a real necessity of the Communist Party. The second issue on which I would turn my attention is the institutional dimension of the Commission and its staff. Regarding this issue – I'm interested in both the political and militant background / identity of each of the commission members (those who participated in decision-making), but also the various attempts to institutionalize the Commission.Finally, the last point on which I will turn my attention refers to the common / current activity of the Commission. Namely, I am interested in trying to understand how the Control Commission actually functioned – through the analysis of different cases, and beyond the information supplied by the activity reports.
