Recent documents reveal a lesser-known aspect of the communist repression apparatus in the 1980s, highlighting the evaluation of Securitate officers. The National Council for the Study of Securitate Archives (CNSAS) shared details from a 1985 file showing how officers were assessed through practical tests to measure their surveillance and repression effectiveness. Officers were tasked with creating operational plans to prevent a citizen's escape, who sought international support after his wife remained illegally in the U.S. The evaluations revealed significant deficiencies, with higher-ranking officers scoring poorly compared to a younger lieutenant. Critiques from the examining captain pointed out their inadequate analytical skills and naive proposals in their plans.
