  Abstract:  

Documentary Sources from Pamfil Şeicaru. Case Study: the Essay "Romanian-Russian Relations". Sentenced to death by the Communist regime, the great journalist Pamfil Şeicaru continued his anti-Communist fight from the West, more precisely from Spain and then from Germany. One of his obsessions was that of the history of the permanently tensioned relationships between the Russians and the Romanians, the Romanian-Russian relationships, irrespective the political regimes, relationships which have been permanently tense even when the Soviet troops were occupying the territory of Romania which they were claiming to be their “neighbor and friend”.

In order to support the obsessive ideas of his statements, Pamfil Şeicaru made use of a huge documentation based only on foreign sources, which he had obtained especially from Russia and France. On the other hand, even the political leaders from Bucharest, Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej and Nicolae Ceauşescu read the great Romanian journalist and, in a secret way, got inspired from him, in the moments of maximum tension, for the former especially in 1964, through the Declaration of April and, for the latter, in 1968, Ceauşescu’s speech dated the 21st of August, 1968 respectively, on the occasion of the invasion of Czechoslovakia.

 

Keywords: Pamfil Şeicaru, Romanian-Russian relationships, documentation, foreign sources.
