Summary/Abstract: Based on documents retrived from the Romanian archives, our study is trying to to analyzethe main views promoted by Nikita S. Khrushchev towards the boundaries between the communist states. Thus, we analyzed the speech delivered by the Soviet leader on March 7, 1959 in Leipzig, as well as the message addressed by Khrushchev to the Heads of State on December 31, 1963. In addition, we analyzed thedifferent views, regarding the border issues between the socialist states, promoted during the Preparatory Conference held in Bucharest (June 24-26, 1960), as well as during the Moscow Meeting of the Communist and Workers’ Parties (November 1960). As case studies we chose China, Yugoslavia, Poland, Romania, Hungary and the USSR, focusing our attention on how the border issues influenced the dynamics of political and diplomatic relationswithin the communist camp until Khrushchev’s debacle.
