Abstract

The article explores the recalibration of collective memory in Romania post-Cold War to align with democratization, focusing on the clash of pre-communist and socialist legacies. It delves into the evolution of Romanian political ideas, national identity redefinitions, and the interplay between modernization and traditionalism. The text also examines the appropriation of Orthodox Christianity for right-wing politics and the resurgence of nationalist discourse during national communism. The ongoing search for democratic values in Romania is highlighted through various perspectives presented in the article. [Extracted from the article]
