Romania: Romanian Communist Party Matters

A file of correspondence concerning the activities of the Romanian communist party. The documents cover the dismissal of the former deputy prime minister, Virgil Trofin; changes within the Romanian government ministries of energy and engineering; and an assessment of attempts to remove pro-Soviet elements of the government from positions of responsibility. Other documents in the file cover the dismissal of Leonte R?utu, a member of the Political Executive Committee, following an application by his daughter to emigrate to the United States; the development of political ideology within the Romanian leadership; and events to mark the sixtieth anniversary of the Romanian communist party. The file also covers a plenary session of the Romanian Communist Party's Central Committee, which discussed a report on an exchange of party cards, and considered reports on party members, party organisation, and cadre policy.
