![]() ![]() In this new line of research I try to shed more light on the role played by the ideological sections (mainly Agitprop Section, Literature Section, Education and Health Section) of the RCP Central Committee in imposing the official line within cultural-artistic institutions such as folklore groups, choruses, Historical Monuments Department, museums, theaters, universities. Many Romanian intellectuals and artists enthusiastically accepted this continuation of the previous Gheorghiu-Dej regime, and moreover welcomed Ceauşescu’s relinquishing of Socialist Realism. ![]() Using newly available archival documents, this book traces the process of how the Ceauşescu regime instrumentalized national feelings and symbols. These strategies included both a détente with and an attempt of co-opting of the old intellectual elite who was marginalized and even persecuted after 1945. This book’s aim is to follow the dynamics of cultural life with regard to Romanian Communist Party’s strategies on the ideological front. ![]()
