Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Securitate (pronounced [sekuri tate], Romanian for Security; official full name Departamentul Securit ii Statului, Department of State Security), was the secret service of Communist Romania. Previously the Romanian secret police was called Siguran a Statului (State Security). Founded on August 30, 1948 with help from the Soviet NKVD, the Securitate was abolished in December 1989, shortly after President Nicolae Ceau escu was ousted. The Securitate was, in proportion to Romania''s population, one of the largest and most brutal secret police forces in the Eastern bloc. The first budget of the Securitate in 1948 stipulated a number of 4,641 positions, of which 3,549 were filled by February 1949. By 1951, the Securitate''s staff had increased fivefold, while in January 1956, the Securitate had 25,468 employees. Under the regime of Nicolae Ceau escu, the Securitate employed some 11,000 agents and a half-million informers for a country with a population of only 22 million by 1985.
