Moartea lui Stalin, eliberarea din arest a Anei Pauker şi o enigmatică discuţie din 8 aprilie 1953
The Death of Stalin, the release of Ana Pauker and an enigmatic talk on 8 April 1953

Summary/Abstract: Ana Pauker was arrested on 18 February 1950, at a time when the antizionist campaign was at its climax in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Soon after the death of Stalin she was released and moved to a conspirative house of the Communist Party. The circumstances of her release still remain unclear. The author of this article argues that Ana Pauker was released, but under strict surveillance, on 15 March 1953 and examines the possible reasons that led to this decision. The article also reproduces a transcript of Ana Pauker’s conversation with two leaders of the Communist Party, on 8 April 1953, that was recorded by the Securitate. During this conversation, Ana Pauker makes important revelations on the accusations she faced during her arrest and explains why she believed Emil Bodnăraş was the real traitor within Romanian Workers Party’s leadership.
