De-crystallization: from the Anthem of Punks to the Official Conviction of the Communism

Summary/Abstract: What we call "transition" actually includes three phases that psycho - sociology names: decrystallization - change - recrystallization. Decrystallization, therefore represents the first phase of attitudinal change and refers to the weakening and then abandoning the old acquisitions - beliefs, values, certainties, attitudes and habits - to replace them with others that reflects a new perspective on the situation. Another Weltanschauung, in other words. This paper aims to point out a few events in recent history of the Romanian society in transition, focusing on the two mentioned in the title, for their particular factual and symbolic value. They are actually "markers" of the beginning and end of the "decrystallization" process.
