Reckoning with mass crimes perpetrated by an ideologically driven
regime entails engaging in a thorough-going exploration of its
utopian foundations. In the case of Romania, such an analysis
requires an interpretation of the role of personality in the
construction of a uniquely grotesque and unrepentant form of
neo-Stalinist despotism. Of all the revolutions of 1989, the only
violent one took place in Romania. Confronting its communist past
therefore involves addressing the abuses committed by the communist
regime up to its very last day, its failure to engage in Round
Table-type agreements with democratic representatives, and the
repression during the first post-communist years, a direct legacy
of the old regime. This book shows how moral justice can contribute
to a restoration of truth and a climate of trust in politics, in
the absence of which any democratic polity remains exposed to
authoritarian attack.
