Indezirabilii – autoritățile comuniste de la București și cetățenii străini rezidenți în România (Anii ’50)
The Undesirables. The Assault of the Communist Authorities from Bucharest on foreign citizens residing in Romania (1950s)

Summary/Abstract: During the ideological regime of Stalinist inspiration established in Romania after December 30, 1947, foreign citizens residing here became the undesirables of the new society, and the communist authorities went to their institutional and physical annihilation. Several members of foreign diplomatic representations (Yugoslavia, the United States, Great Britain, France, Turkey, Apostolic Nunciature, Italy) were put on trial since 1949. The foreign citizens were investigated in the Malmaison prison, starting from 1952 were concentrated at Mărgineni, and in 1954 were transferred to Piteşti. As the Italian diplomatic documents indicate, the negotiations for their release have had positive results in the years 1954–55, in the context of the détente due to the Geneva Conference in the summer of 1955, but each release was harshly negotiated by the Communist authorities in order to obtain financial, commercial and political advantages.
