It examines the conventional wisdom of Romanian Communist history, which consistently depicted Pauker as the leading proponent of Soviet-imposed Stalinism within the Romanian Communist leadership during her years in power. Specifically, it reviews Pauker's record during the early postwar period, when she was the unofficial head of the Romanian Communist Party, as well as her actions on the following issues: agricultural policy (including collectivization, crop collections and the fight against the kulaks), for which she was responsible in the Party leadership between 1949 and 1952; the initiation of Party purges as part of the Soviet-imposed anti-Tito campaign beginning in 1948; and the mass emigration of Romanian Jewry to Israel. It also analyzes the circumstances surrounding the purge of Ana Pauker and her allies in the leadership (Vasile Luca and Teohari Georgescu) in 1952, and her arrest and brief imprisonment in 1953. |
