Vizita lui Nicolae Ceaușescu la Gherla în 1983
The Visit of Nicolae Ceaușescu at Gherla in 1983

Summary/Abstract: This study analyses the way a visit of such a personality like Nicolae Ceauşescu, was perceived by the people of Gherla, a province city. Beyond the actual events, through the medium of interviews (teachers who were mobilized alongside their students) and oral history testimonials (the director of The Plant of Wood Processing- Combinatul de Prelucrare a Lemnului), we propose to highlight which were the people’s feelings, how they perceived the presence of the head of state in their community and which were the effects. In this work we’ll try to track the way a visit of an important personality, during the communist period, could generate feelings like passion, carelessness, curiosity etc.
