This book examines how the process of remembering Stalinist
repression in Romania has shifted from individual, family, and
group representations of lived and witnessed experiences
characteristic of the 1990s to more recent and state-sponsored
expressions of historical remembrance through their incorporation
in official commemorations, propaganda sites, and restorative and
compensatory measures. Based on fieldwork dealing with Stalinist
repression and memorialization, together with archival research on
the secret police (Securitate), it adopts an interdisciplinary
approach to reveal the resurfacing of particular themes. As such it
draws on concepts from sociology, political science, and legal
studies, related to memory, justice, redress, identity,
accountability, and reconciliation. A study of competing narratives
concerning the meaning of the past as part of a struggle over the
legitimacy of the post-communist state, Repression, Resistance, and
Collaboration in Stalinist Romania 1944-1964 combines memory
studies with a transitional justice approach that will appeal to
scholars of sociology, heritage and memory studies, politics, and
law.

The biannual, peer-reviewed Journal of Romanian Studies, jointly
developed by The Society for Romanian Studies and ibidem Press,
examines critical issues in Romanian studies, linking work in that
field to wider theoretical debates and issues of current relevance,
and serving as a forum for junior and senior scholars. The journal
also presents articles that connect Romania and Moldova
comparatively with other states and their ethnic majorities and
minorities, and with other groups by investigating the challenges
of migration and globalization and the impact of the European
Union. Issue No. 4 contains: Cosmin Sebastian Cercel: Reversing

The present volume focuses on the relationship with communism of
Romania's most important religious denominations and their attempt
to cope with that difficult past which continues to cast an
important shadow over their present. For the first time ever, this
volume considers both the majority Romanian Orthodox Church and
significant minority denominations such as the Roman and Greek
Catholic Churches, the Reformed Church, the Hungarian Unitarian
Church, and the Pentecostal Christian Denomination. It argues that
no religious group (except the Greek Catholic Church, which was
banned from 1948 until 1989) escaped collaboration with the
communists. After 1989, however, most denominations had little
desire to tackle their tainted past and make a clean start. In
part, this was facilitated by the country's deficient legislation
that did not encourage the pursuit of lustration, which in turn did
not lead to a serious movement of elite renewal in the religious
realm. Instead, a strong process of reproduction of the old elites
and their adaptation to democracy has been the dominant
characteristic of the post-communist period.
