- Title
National Controversies beneath Stalinist Uniformity. The Issue of Transylvania in the Romanian- Hungarian Communist Debates.
- Authors
STANCIU, Cezar
- Abstract
The following document will describe relevant aspects regarding the relations among "peoples' democracies" during the Stalinist period (1948-1953). Although their degree of autonomy was severely reduced due to Soviet pressures, certain enmities did persist, in spite of the so-called "uniformity". The traditional Romanian-Hungarian conflict over Transylvania resurfaced after 1947. The Communist regimes in power continued the rivalry over this territory, bringing new arguments which were in accordance with the political environment. The Hungarians used internationalist arguments in order to justify their interest in the situation of the Hungarian minority in Romania. On the other hand, the Romanian communists used the anti-cosmopolitan rhetoric of the time in order to reject any interference from Budapest.
