Summary/Abstract: The study refers to the Jiu Valley miners' strike of 1-3 August 1977. The author's view is that, this strike was a warning to Romania's communist leadership. Based on intelligence reports, the author examines how this event was instrumentalized by secret services since 1989. Thus in 1994 a report of the new Romanian secret services try to address the events, claiming that old Romanian secret services have had an attitude of neutrality. Finally, the author's intention is to draw attention to how historical events of the past can be manipulated.
