Summary/Abstract: These documents consists a collection of conversation notes between Vasile Malinschi, the Governor of the National Bank of S.R. of Romania (1963-1977) and deligated soviet diplomats in Bucharest. These are very recently declassified documents stored in Russian State Archive of Contemporary History (RGANI), Moscow, Russian Federation. V. Malinschi held several talks with representatives of the USSR embassy in Romania (A. V. Basov, I. S. Ilyin etc.) between 1966-1976. In these conversations Malinschi revealed confidential information not just about economical matters but also on political affairs of Romania. He also had described his views on the leading personalities of the Romanian Communist Party (N. Ceaușescu, I. Gh. Maurer, P. Niculescu-Mizil, Gh. Rădulescu, M. Mănescu, V. Trofin, I. Verdeț, Gh. Pană, L. Răutu, P. Lupu, I. Banc, Al. Bârlădeanu etc.) and assessed their activities. V. Malinschi, who had Russian roots, disapproved the course of nationalist politics promoted by the leadership of Bucharest. In his opinion, this policy was one of the most important reasons that lead to deterioration of romanian-soviet relations. As an economist and Governor of the National Bank of S. R. of Romania, he believed that the USSR (CMEA, in extended format) is the only capable force of contributing to Romanian’s economic growth. He considered that romanian-soviet political-diplomatic relations were depended on economic ones. The published documents will contribute to the research of Romania’s communist regime and reveals largely concealed information about events that took place inside de Ceaușescu’s regime and their following consequences that had evolutionary impact on the romanian-soviet political-diplomatic and economic relations.
