Eliminarea din universități a scriitorilor cu titluri academice în perioada 1944-1948

Abstract

One of the methods of social marginalization of the writers who did not meet the approval of the Communist Party was their being dismissed from their academic positions in the Romanian universities.
The purging of 1944-1948 was officially aimed at those writers who had openly declared their support for the Legionaries or for Ion Antonescu government. However, equally inconvenient people were also targeted, even though they did not fall under said categories. Among the strategies used to eliminate the undesirables, one could mention the introduction of rationalisation of budget expenses in 1947 and the reorganization of higher education by the Education Law of 1948.
