Între oportunism şi dezertare: Gheorghe Haupt, Alexandru Vianu şi Victor Cheresteşiu
Between opportunism and defection: Gheorghe Haupt, Alexandru Vianu and Victor Cheresteşiu

Summary/Abstract: The „historiographical front” was perhaps the most invoked formula in the documents of this period, but its veracity remains questionable. In fact, over the years, it proved to be a creation of the regime that had nothing to do with reality. The monolithic image that the political factors were struggling to maintain was in fact false and this became increasingly obvious since the mid-50s, amid de-Stalinization and Mihail Roller’s decline. The case studies illustrate both opportunism and defection within Roller’s team. Consequently, Alexandru Vianu and Victor Cherestesiu’s opportunism and Gheorghe Haupt’s defection became two facets of the intellectuals’ effort to adapt to a new situation.
