Romania and the Solidarity Crisis of 1980–1981: A Distinct Approach?
The article questions the official narrative concerning the Romanian reaction towards the Solidarity crisis of 1980–1981. Considering an extended period during which Nicolae Ceausescu had a distinct attitude in the socialist bloc regarding the Solidarity crisis, the new sources show that things were more complex than a simple opposition against an intervention in Poland. The situation in Poland was perceived with great fear in Bucharest, just like in Moscow or Berlin.
