Arhivele Sfera Politicii: Gheorghiu Dej – Să-l păstrăm cum era în viață!
Sfera Politicii's Archive: Gheorghiu Dej – We should remember him the way he lived!

Summary/Abstract: Gheorghiu Dej’s death intrigues a number of history writers, who count on a conspiracy coined by the Kremlin which was unhappy with his „April 1964 declaration”. Back then, quite a few Romanians lamented Dej, because during the last two or three years of his rule, the living conditions improved, many political prisoners were released, and even more, Romanians looked with great sympathy at Romania’s distancing from the USSR and the warming up to the West, where Dej expected to find technological and diplomatic support. Hence, his passing away has all the required elements to be seen, even today, as a controversial moment.
