At that time, Romanian leaders skilfully exploited the populations’ anti-Russian feelings through their internal and external legitimation strategy. At the beginning, there was a national Communist policy of economic development which led, in the middle of the decade, to a State nationalism, both political and cultural, wielding a patently anti-Soviet discourse and tending towards a definition of the nation in ethnic terms. The analysis of this development of Romanian state-communism makes it possible to see that the Romanian case is by no means an exception in the Eastern bloc. This work also shows that the nationalistic ferment of Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej’s and Nicolae Ceau?escu’s policy in the 1960s was not radically innovative. On the contrary, it used identity-construction and unifying procesess that had already been used in 19th century Romanian nationalism and the interwar period.
