To elaborate on this a bit more; post war Romanian politics were, after the proclamation of a socialist state, dominated by two factions. One faction was the ‘Pauker’ or ‘Moscow’ faction that was predominantly more ‘moderate’ leaning with some ‘reformist’ influence (within the context of Marxism-Leninism, though there was supposedly ‘Titoist’ influence as well) and the other faction was the ‘Prison Faction’ which tended to be more statist and slightly more strict in their social policy. Gheorghe was a member of the latter.
