Romanian-Soviet Controversies on the Extension of Warsaw Treaty’ validity, 1984-1985

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the controversies between Bucharest and Moscow, in 1984-1985, regarding the extension of Warsaw Treaty validity. During the meetings, Romania surprisingly used the opportunity to tackle a series of economic conditionalities. Relying on investigations in the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History, the author discovered that Romania, affected by a profound economic crisis, linked the extension of Warsaw Treaty validity to the increase in Soviet oil delivery for the next five years.
