Title: Subordinating Justice In Communist Romania: The Sovietization of the Romanian Criminal Justice System (1945-1953)

Summary: This thesis addresses the judicial and legal systems of Romania from 1945 to 1953 within the context of the community takeover of Sovietization of Romania. More precisely, it discusses the arrangement of the judiciary and several amendments brought to criminal legislation (Penal Code). The thesis argues that during the period under focus Soviet-type judicial institutions, legal concepts and practices were transplanted to Romania at different stages. It also argues that beginning in 1948, when a Soviet-type constitution and a new penal code came into effect, the communist government of Romania gave political repression, to a certain extent a legal dimention. Accordingly, the aim of this research was to demonstrate that the repressive nature of the regime was upheld by the ideological interpretation of criminal law.
