Propaganda und Zensur im sozialistischen Rumänien: Struktur und Effektivität
Propaganda and Censorship in Socialist Romania: Structures and Efficiency

Summary/Abstract: Propaganda and censorship are used by the Romanian Communist Party not only to control public opinion and information channels but first and foremost to establish political power. The article’s focus is on the different stages of the propaganda measures taken by the Party from 1944 to 1989. The strategies differ from a first attempt to implement political power by creating propaganda structures such as state departments or sections to an overall surveillance by censorship. A second point analyses the efficiency of communist propaganda in terms of form and content.
