Summary/Abstract: The communist regime of Romania used as a radical measure the nationalisation of the land property. After the Revolution of 1989, the restitution of the land was considered by the contemporaries as a natural measure, because it could influence the situation of the social structure of Romania.The destruction of the former Agricultural Production Cooperatives and the State Agricultural Enteprises conducted to the restitution of many land properties Our study proposes to reliefate the way in which Romanian society was influenced by the partial reconstruction of the private property. The communist regime influenced the majority of young people to become workers and cooperator peasants. After the Revolution, the clash of the great industrial centers generated a return in the rural area of a great part of people which lived in the urban area, but this migration could not change radically the perspective of the social structure of Romania.
