Vingtième Siècle. Revue d'histoire - Année 1990 - Volume 25 - Numéro 1 - Pages 85-96The Ceaucescu System. Totalitarian utopia and insular nationalism, Catherine Durandin. The systematization that has been going on in Romania in recent years and Ceausescu's delirious megalomania are not outgrowths of a perverted System. They are at the very heart of the device for creating a New Man , set up since 1965, the year of the arrival in power of the Conducator . There has also always been a constant attempt by the dictatorship at a historie legitimation, from the Daci to communism, by way of the 1848 nationalists. 12 pages Source : Persée ; Ministère de la jeunesse, de l’éducation nationale et de la recherche, Direction de l’enseignement supérieur, Sous-direction des bibliothèques et de la documentation.
