The chimeric personalities of three professional revolutionaries in the history of the communist movement (1921-1924)

Abstract

On the occasion of approaching of the Great Union Centenary, in this article we intend to analyse the character of three key personalities involved in the Communist Movement in Romania, during 1921-1924. The relevance of the study is determined by the need for a psychosocial radiography of a political phenomenon which has set its mark on a nation damned to a totalitarian destiny. The different attitudes and positions of the first founders towards the Great Romania project are due to the chimeric character of some atypical personalities. At both political and legal level, the first communist Party from Romania emerged by accepting the 21 conditions, also known as Zinoviev's theses. By this act, the movement assumed a deeply anti-Romanian position. Beyond the historiographical and data aspects, the Communist Movement also deserves a leadership analysis of the personalities. In this respect, the article focused on the analysis of two research directions: a). A biographical and documentary analysis of personalities that go through ideological metamorphoses generated by the historical and political context of the interwar period; b). An ideological and leadership analysis of the Party concerning the relationship between the leaders and Comintern between 1921-1923. In the secondary analysis, we consulted different articles, books and relevant studies for the proposed topic.
