  Abstract:  In the summer of 2006, as one of the experts of the Presidential Commission for the Analysis of the Communist Dictatorship in Romania, I carry out research in different national and local archives. During a documentary stage at the National Archives, I requested the file no. 166 of the year 1944 belonging to the Fond of the Central Committee’s Office, the Organizational Department, whose archival cataloguing had triggered my attention. Its title was “Reference Material. The Situation Regarding the Leadership of the Party from 23rd August 1944 to 17th March 1961. (The Central Committee, the Political Bureau, The Organizational Bureau and the Secretariat of the CC of the RCP)”. According to the stamp placed on the first page, this document was initially recorded as part of the Archive of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Romanian Working Party (the name of the Romanian Communist Party since 1948) under the no. 2057 of 1961. Besides the intrinsic value of the documents, I noticed that the dossier included 20 typed documents created between 1953 and 1962 by the specialized personnel of the central apparatus of the RCP. These documents reflected the statistical, nominal and structural evolution of the higher power echelons of the RCP during the years of 1944-1961.
