- Abstract
This article analyses proposes new considerations on the Romania's neo-Stalinist regime as reflected in the diplomatic documents from the Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belgium. In 1982-1983 the regime started to pay the country's external debt, exporting agricultural products at dumping prices, imposing huge sacrifices and burden on country's economic profit and on citizens standard of life. The Romanian stores ran out of food for years. The Ceausescu regime has forbidden the citizens to leave the country. Belgium, France, USA, and other Western countries started to criticize the regime, harsher and harsher. Romania's foreign policies of independence towards Moscow were still important for the Western interests, but their value decreased. USA even retired the highly symbolic MostFavored-Nation Status. The Ceausescu regime became more and more isolated between 1982-1989.
