Mitul egalității comuniste, demontat de documente CNSAS: Comuniștii români, niște parveniți în căutare de lux • Newsweek România

Recent documents from the National Council for the Study of Securitate Archives (CNSAS) challenge the communist myth of equality and prosperity in Romania. The findings reveal that many communist leaders were opportunists seeking luxury and power, rather than true ideologues. The report highlights how high-ranking officials, including those in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, prioritized personal gain over the party's proclaimed values. Soviet advisors were provided with lavish accommodations, and valuable items were misappropriated by officials. The documents illustrate a stark contrast between the regime's propaganda and the reality of corruption and privilege among the elite.
