  Abstract:  Parallel Libraries of the Former Securitate. Ana Blandiana, ‘Întâmplări de pe strada mea’. The present article aims to reveal the measures that the former Securitate – Agency for National Security during communism in Romania – took against potentially subversive texts. The archives of Securitate offer a second contextualization of Romanian literature under communism. Intellectuals, and mainly writers, were always perceived by the communist regime as a potential danger towards national safety. Therefore, the intellectual elite never seized to be monitored, manipulated, or sanctioned, accordingly to their attitude regarding the communist ideology. A case of such sanctioning is Ana Blandiana, whose children’s book ‘Întâmplări de pe strada mea’ was denounced as anti-political and withdrawn from the public circuit. 

Key words: Ana Blandiana, Securitate, Întâmplări de pe strada mea, comunism.
