Paul Goma – Basarabia BASARABIA 1 Paul Goma BASARABIA August 2001 2 PAUL GOMA Paris, 11 iunie 2001 Când Victor a rostit un nume §i m-a întrebat dac¶ îmi spune ceva, am r¶spuns c¶ nu. Mai aproape de adev¶r : Victor a pronun∞at un nume, apoi m-a întrebat dac¶ acela mi-e cunoscut. Am spus, pe dat¶ : Nu. Aveam o bun¶ memorie, în general, în special, a numelor, una excelent¶. Chiar dac¶ am mai gre§it… Mi-o aduc aminte pe cea din urm¶ gaf¶ ?, gre§eal¶ ? A avut ca decor saloanele Senatului Fran∞ei, în februarie 1900. Atunci veniser¶ la Paris un mare num¶r de avioane înc¶rcate- ochi cu viteji revolu∞ionari post-festumnici, de te întrebai cum de supravie∞uise Ceau§escu 24 ani, ba, cu o s¶pt¶mân¶ înainte de a fi împu§cat de Sturdza-Voican, masele largi de români opozan∞i feroci ai tiranului îl aclamaser¶ îndelung, urîndu-i s¶ tr¶iasc¶ ! Dar, Doamne, cât de umfla∞i în pene erau scriitorii români cotidieni, eroi f¶r¶ voie §i f¶r¶ §tire !; cum nu-§i mai înc¶peau în piele - nici în nume : Manolescu, M¶rculescu, Sorescu, Buzura, H¶ulic¶, Pippidi, Martin… Aproape cu to∞ii, dînd mâna cu mine, î§i spuneau r¶spicat numele §i prenumele (erau gata s¶-mi comunice §i bibliografia), de parc¶ atunci ne-am fi v¶zut pentru prima oar¶… Dar bineîn∞eles c¶ îi cuno§team, c¶ îi recuno§team - îi §tiam, îi prea §tiam, chiar §i pe cei mai tineri, afirma∞i dup¶ plecarea noastr¶ în exil. De la o vreme, am început a m¶ sim∞i vinovat, eu : eu îi asiguram c¶ îi cunosc, c¶ le cunosc (nu doar) numele, ci §i c¶r∞ile, îns¶… îi sim∞eam, vedeam prin ei, îi miroseam : lor le-ar fi f¶cut o nesfâr§it¶ pl¶cere s¶ dea de în∞eles c¶, în ciuda asigur¶toarelor mele asigur¶ri, adev¶rul-adev¶rat era c¶ îi uitasem cu tot cu nume, ori c¶ niciodat¶ nu li-l §tiusem… Fiindc¶ a§a era omene§te. Fiindc¶ a§a ar fi f¶cut ei… Din gur¶ §i din zâmbet pretindeam contrariul, dar ia s¶ m¶ fi pus s¶ li-l, s¶ li le rostesc, numele, titlurile c¶r∞ilor… C¶, uite, nici ei nu mai §tiu de unde s¶ m¶ ia §i unde s¶ m¶ “situeze”… “C¶ci uitarea…”, vorba roman∞ei cu acela§i titlu… BASARABIA 3 ïn toiul acelei dobitoace, crescînde (§i autocritice, aproape masochiste) irit¶ri, s-au apropiat de Ana Maria §i de mine trei tineri : pe unul îl §tiam, era Andrei, fiul lui Mihai, schimbasem cu el câteva cuvinte în culisele canalului de televiziune Antenne 2, unde era cameraman. El m-a întrebat dac¶ îl mai ∞in minte pe… Chiar a§a a zis-întrebat, ar¶tînd spre tân¶rul înso∞itor : «ïl mai ∞ine∞i minte (s¶ fi zis: “recunoa§te∞i”?) pe Popov?» - §i a ad¶ugat : «El v-a scos din ∞ar¶ un manuscris, pentru Gallimard…» Nu m¶ aflam în nici o încurc¶tur¶, m¶ gândeam numai §i numai la tân¶ra atârnat¶ de bra∞ul lui “Popov” §i care, cu sigu- ran∞¶ nu merita afrontul la care, din clip¶ în clip¶, aveam s¶ m¶ dedau în dauna - so∞ului ?, a logodnicului, amantului ? De aceea am amânat r¶spunsul care nu putea fi decât un Nu cate- goric : “Popov”-ul ar¶ta prea frumu§el, prea îmbr¶c¶∞el, prea tinerel ca s¶-mi fi scos un manuscris din România, în urm¶ cu… - dac¶ plecasem de 12 ani, trimisesem în Fran∞a ultimul manuscris în 15 “felii”, dup¶ num¶rul capitolelor, or acela fusese expediat în ‘75, deci în urm¶ cu… 15 ani ! Or “Popov” nu p¶rea s¶ aib¶ mai mult de 30 ani, iar eu - §i de asta eram sigur - nu încredin∞asem manuscrise-de-scos unor minori ! Apoi, dac¶ acea persoan¶ mi-ar fi scos un manuscris, ar fi t¶cut atâta timp ?, doar avusese destule ocazii, în atâ∞ia ani, s¶ m¶ abordeze - la lans¶ri de carte, la manifesta∞ii, la telefon… ïntr-un târziu am morm¶it : «Regret, îns¶…» - §i am în¶l∞at din umeri. Am sim∞it cum a∞a care ∞inea m¶rgelele corpurilor din fa∞a mea, trei, se rupe, cedeaz¶, iar elementele-componentele se depun, sonor, în gr¶m¶joare. D¶deam din buze, încercînd s¶ repar gafa cu o minciun¶, îns¶ nu-mi ie§ea nici un sunet… Cei trei s-au îndep¶rtat, s-au pierdut prin…- ce spun eu : “mul∞i- mea”, §i mai corect ar fi : totalìmea intelectuali§tei române aflat¶ în saloanele Senatului, pentru a primi - cu modestie spe- cific-na∞ional¶ - felicit¶rile Francezilor §i ale ne-Francezilor ne-români invita∞i la o asemenea, pardon, chermez¶. Am mai strâns-atins câteva zeci de mâini, am mai rostit câteva zeci de formule de polite∞e - îns¶ nu-mi puteam desprinde gândul (§i vinov¶∞ia) de “Popov”; adev¶rat, mai 4 PAUL GOMA degrab¶ de la Popova : peste ochii s¶i frumo§i (§i atât de tineri, atât de umezi) se l¶sase un v¶l de doliu, ai fi zis c¶, îndep¶rtîndu-se (în negru), în urma ei r¶m¶sese un mormânt proasp¶t, îns¶ la care ea nu va mai veni vreodat¶ - din pricina r¶spunsului meu (c¶ nu-mi aduc aminte ca “Popov”-ul ei iubit s¶-mi fi scos un manuscris din România, pentru Gallimard…). M-am consultat cu Ana Maria… Nu, nici ei nu-i spusese nimic numele, în fine, cuvântul :“Popov”. Dar a avansat o ipotez¶ : ca s¶ o epateze pe feti∞¶, b¶ie∞ic¶ se l¶udase cu o isprav¶ pe care vârsta-i fraged¶ nu i-o îng¶duia : o c¶l¶torie în România, acum cel pu∞in 15 ani §i scoaterea, ilegal¶, a unui manuscris pentru Gallimard… M-a anun∞at c¶ ea îl caut¶ pe Andrei, pentru “detalii”. Dup¶ o vreme s-a întors cu el. Râdeau. Ea a rezumat : «“Popov” e de vin¶. S-a recomandat : “Popov”, îns¶ noi l-am cunoscut sub numele - în fine, sub pseudonumele : “Popescu-sau-Popa”…» «Aaaa!», m-am b¶tut peste frunte. «“Popescu-sau-Popa”, cel cu plete pân¶ la omopla∞i, cu barb¶ pân¶ la buric - dar bine-n∞eles c¶ lui i-am dat un manuscris pentru Gallimard, în 73, noua variant¶ a Gherlei ! De ce nu a spus c¶ acum poart¶ alt nume ? £i c¶ nu mai are barb¶ §i plete ?», l-am întrebat pe Andrei. El a ridicat din umeri §i m-a anun∞at c¶ “Popa-Popescu” plecase dup¶ logodnica-i sup¶rat¶… ïntrev¶zusem drama puternic¶ provocat¶ de mine… L-am rugat pe Andrei s¶-i transmit¶ lui Popov, alias Popa-Popescu (Ana Maria avansase un al treilea - nu al patrulea ?- nume, tot conspirativ : Popper) c¶ l-a§ fi recunoscut pe dat¶, dac¶ mi-ar fi spus acel(e)a§i nume sub care, la Mogo§oaia… ; §i dac¶ m-ar fi avertizat c¶ “atunci” purta p¶rul lung, peste tot… Andrei a promis, dar n-am avut vreun semn c¶ Popescu-Popov-Popper l-ar fi primit. Am povestit întâmplarea de mai sus, ca s¶ explic : rar un nume auzit sau citit care s¶ nu-mi r¶mân¶. “Uit” doar numele unor tic¶lo§i - fie securi§ti, fie prieteni tr¶d¶tori - o maniera ca oricare alta de a-i pedepsi, potrivit blestemului : “Uita∞i-s-ar numele !” BASARABIA 5 Am deraiat, derapat, nimerind în alt¶ carte ? Deloc. Toate c¶r∞ile pe care le-am scris alc¶tuiesc p¶r∞i, fragmente, capitole din aceea§i. Pe care, vai, n-am s-o pot rotunji, termina vreodat¶ §i nimeni de dup¶ mine nu o va încheia. Alunecarea la Popa-Popov-Popper-Popescu (de ce nu §i : Pop ?) nu este o r¶t¶cire, o parantez¶, un accident, o eroare, ci un firesc demers ; §i important. Cred c¶ eu ar fi trebuit s¶ m¶ nasc evreu ; presupun c¶ eu ar fi trebuit s¶ fiu evreu §i nu Evreii care ignor¶, nu doar un precept religios, ci natura profund¶ a omului, cea care nu accept¶ decât un singur nume, întâiul, pe care îl faci tu, purt¶tor, dup¶ chipul §i asem¶narea ta ; care te modeleaz¶ el, purtat, dup¶ chipul §i rostirea §i scrierea lui. “Celelalte” (printre ele : pseudonimele arti§tilor, ale scriitorilor) pot fi c¶m¶§i, izmene, ciorapi, schimbabile, dar nu pielea. Pielea, ca §i numele-prim, nu se schimb¶ : în ea te na§ti, cu ea de gât mori. Deci, când Victor a… - iat¶-m¶, întors. Când Victor a spus despre cine era vorba, am în∞eles c¶ îmi r¶m¶sese în memoria viscerelor, nu “soarta unui om” (m-am trimis pe loc la nuvela lui £olohov, ecranizat¶ de Bondarciuk, unul din primele filme adev¶rate, de§i sovietice, v¶zute în România), ci soarta sor¶-si : o resim∞eam ca pe o secure care-mi cr¶pase capul §i nu se mai dezînfipsese de-acolo, fierul îi ruginise, lemnul cozii putrezise, a§chiile moi de lemn, de fier se amestecaser¶ cu p¶mântul, cu iarba, cu ∞¶nd¶ri din ∞easta mea - prin bocet. Femeia aceea tân¶r¶ î§i bocea fratele reg¶sit la distan∞¶ de atâ∞ia ani, atâ∞ia ani, dup¶ ce îi f¶cuse slujb¶ de îmormântare pentru mormintele goale §i cruce la r¶s¶rit. Bocetul. Era, nu de-mort, ci de-bocitoare. Era bocìt, nu bocìtul, care tot nu mai sim∞ea nimic, ci bocitoarea.

  • Article Intelligence Sector Reforms in Romania: a Scorecard
    Intelligence Sector Reforms in Romania: A Article Scorecard Lavinia Stan Marian Zulean St. Francis Xavier University, Canada University of Bucharest, Romania [email protected] Abstract Since 1989, reforms have sought to align the Romanian post-communist intelligence community with its counterparts in established democracies. Enacted reluctantly and belatedly at the pressure of civil society actors eager to curb the mass surveillance of communist times and international partners wishing to rein in Romania’s foreign espionage and cut its ties to intelligence services of non-NATO countries, these reforms have revamped legislation on state security, retrained secret agents, and allowed for participation in NATO operations, but paid less attention to oversight and respect for human rights. Drawing on democratization, transitional justice, and security studies, this article evaluates the capacity of the Romanian post-communist intelligence reforms to break with communist security practices of unchecked surveillance and repression and to adopt democratic values of oversight and respect for human rights. We discuss the presence of communist traits after 1989 (seen as continuity) and their absence (seen as discontinuity) by offering a wealth of examples. The article is the first to evaluate security reforms in post- communist Romania in terms of their capacity to not only overhaul the personnel and operations inherited from the Securitate and strengthen oversight by elected officials, but also make intelligence services respectful of basic human rights. Introduction Since transitioning away from communist dictatorship in 1989, Romania has become a liberal democracy and a member of the European Union (EU) and NATO. As elsewhere in Central and Eastern Europe where the communist secret police had conducted repression, in Romania the backbone of democratization was represented by reforms of the intelligence community, understood to comprise all of the intelligence services operating in the country.

    About Romania Romania (Romanian: România, IPA: [ro.mɨni.a]) is a country in Southeastern Europe sited in a historic region that dates back to antiquity. It shares border with Hungary and Serbia to the west, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova to the northeast, and Bulgaria to the south. Romania has a stretch of sea coast along the Black Sea. It is located roughly in the lower basin of the Danube and almost all of the Danube Delta is located within its territory. Romania is a parliamentary unitary state. As a nation-state, the country was formed by the merging of Moldavia and Wallachia in 1859 and it gained recognition of its independence in 1878. Later, in 1918, they were joined by Transylvania, Bukovina and Bessarabia. At the end of World War II, parts of its territories (roughly the present day Moldova) were occupied by USSR and Romania became a member of Warsaw Pact. With the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, Romania started a series of political and economic reforms that peaked with Romania joining the European Union. Romania has been a member of the European Union since January 1, 2007, and has the ninth largest territory in the EU and with 22 million people [1] it has the 7th largest population among the EU member states. Its capital and largest city is Bucharest (Romanian: Bucureşti /bu.kureʃtʲ/ (help·info)), the sixth largest city in the EU with almost 2 million people. In 2007, Sibiu, a large city in Transylvania, was chosen as European Capital of Culture.[2] Romania joined NATO on March 29, 2004, and is also a member of the Latin Union, of the Francophonie and of OSCE.

  • Moving Images in Romanian Critical Art Practice and Recent History
    MOVING IMAGES IN ROMANIAN CRITICAL ART PRACTICE AND RECENT HISTORY Mihaela Brebenel Goldsmiths, University of London PhD Media and Communications, 2016 .1 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. .2 Acknowledgements It is perhaps commonplace to say that a doctoral research is a journey. Nevertheless, I have only come to understand that this research project has been both a personal journey and an academic one in the final stages of writing, when paradoxically, there was little time for reflection. The time that unfolded between the moment when I was writing a tentative research proposal and the moment I am now in has been intense, incredible, invaluable and rewarding. I am convinced that I would have not experienced either of these without the support, attentive consideration and incredibly fruitful conversations with my supervisor, Dr. Pasi Väliaho. I started this journey under the auspices of his encouragements and could not have carried through without his relentless belief in my academic abilities. I would also like to acknowledge the support and inspiring encounters with Dr. Rachel Moore, always surprising and always refreshing. In different stages of this research, she has acted as a mentor and reader of my work, at the same time showing an empowering collegial attentiveness to my ideas. An extended thank you goes to Prof. Sean Cubitt and Prof. Julian Henriques, for their general support within the Media and Communications department, their suggestions made for various versions of the text and their encouragement to experiment across-disciplines and with methods. This research would not have been possible without the funding received from the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the research exhibition in New Delhi, India would not have happened without the AHRC International Placement Scheme and Fellowship at Sarai CSDS.

  • Continuities and Changes of Europe in Romanian National Discourse
    Lund UniversityLund University STMV 23, 2017 PoliticalPolitical Science Science Department Department Superviser: Magnus Jerneck MasterMaster of European Of European Affairs Affairs Superviser: STVM 23, Magnus 2017 Jerneck Continuities and Changes of Europe in Romanian National Discourse A thematic analysis of Romania`s chiefs of state speeches, between 1931 and 2016 Mihail Nejneru Lund University Political Science Department Superviser: Magnus Jerneck Master of European Affairs STVM 23, 2017 Abstract There are several problems when studying, as this thesis, the interplay between the concepts of Europe and of nation, in an official discourse of a state. One is that these concepts are largely seen as being in a dichotomous position. This research argues about the importance of changing the perception about the various way the concepts can relate to each other. The study considers the representations of the nation and of Europe as correlated. Consequently, the idea of Europe is modified over time according to the political culture type. The peculiarities of the case selection: Romania, as two violent regime changes, amplifies the effects of this multi faced process of conferring meanings to Europe. First, the communist regime crafted its own national narrative by mixing soviet supranational elements with a strong nationalistic rhetoric. This was done also with the use of Protochronism, a Romanian term, describing the process to ascribe, with the use of questionable data and by questionable interpretations, an idealised past to the country. Second, the post-communist elites could not decide what stance should be adopted towards pre-communist and communist regimes. The implications for the concept of Europe were discovered using a thematic analysis on 25 New Year’s Eve messages of Romanians chiefs of the state, transmitted from 1931 to 2016.

  • Collective Memory and National Identity in Post-Communist Romania: Representations of the Communist Past in Romanian News Media and Romanian Politics (1990 - 2009)
    COLLECTIVE MEMORY AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN POST-COMMUNIST ROMANIA: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE COMMUNIST PAST IN ROMANIAN NEWS MEDIA AND ROMANIAN POLITICS (1990 - 2009) A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Constanta Alina Hogea May 2014 Examining Committee Members: Carolyn Kitch, Advisory Chair, Journalism Nancy Morris, Media Studies and Production Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Journalism Mihai Coman, External Member, University of Bucharest © Copyright 2014 by Constanta Alina Hogea All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT My dissertation situates at the intersection of communication studies and political sciences under the umbrella of the interdisciplinary field of collective memory. Precisely, it focuses on the use of the communist past by political actors to gain power and legitimacy, and on the interplay between news media and politics in shaping a national identity in post-communist Romania. My research includes the analysis of the media representations of two categories of events: the anniversaries of the Romanian Revolution and the political campaigns for presidential/parliamentary elections. On the one hand, the public understanding of the break with communism plays an important role in how the post-communist society is defined. The revolution as a schism between the communist regime and a newborn society acts like a prism through which Romanians understand their communist past, but also the developments the country has taken after it. On the other hand, political communication is operating on the public imaginary of the past, the present and the future. The analysis of the political discourses unfolded in the news media shows how the collective memory of the communist past is used to serve political interests in the discursive struggle for power and legitimacy.

The last communist ruler, Nicolae Ceausescu, was removed from his sultanistic position by a popular uprising. The step towards a democratic regime expressed the will of huge masses of people that demonstrated in all important cities of the country and in almost all localities. The present political system in Romania may be described as a representative democracy, governed by the directly elected President and Parliament (semi-presidential system), according to the provisions of the new Constitution.

  • Adriana Mica Scandals and Party Moots MS
    Introduction Leaders of any communist state have to keep a watchful eye on certain scandal hot-spots. As Kamiski (1992: 179) points out, such events exert pressure on the state, causing it to respond and reform. Scandals may erupt as a result of social, economic or political demands voiced through rebellious manifestations of society, political activism of the diaspora or in programs on foreign radio stations. Considering that during the communist era in Romania – for several reasons – collective confrontation with the regime was a rare phenomenon, such outbursts were perceived as real scandals. This statement pertains to society at large, to the diaspora and, eventually, to the "broader outside world". An analysis of mass protests from this scandal perspective might be useful for several reasons. It assumes an exploration of the strategies employed not only by strikers or protesters, but also those embraced by the institutions under attack. The case studies contained herein show that in the aftermath of such events, the communist state employed a tactic of large-scale scapegoating in order "to face its face". The book further analyses the anatomy of the process, the internal resistance it faced, and the circulating counts of indictment. The matter is all the more interesting, as there is empirical data indicating that the process of scapegoating folded upon the hierarchical layers within the party nomenklatura as well. According to Rychard (1993: 12), in Poland, "spontaneous changes" were more common than "planned reforms". The author identifies two types of spontaneous changes: "violent changes characteristic of social riots and revolts", and "'everyday' changes accompanying various adaptation processes by way of which people try to modify the centralized system" (Rychard, 1993: 12).

    qr. 3. 2018 no. 6 ISSN 2543-9839 EVENTS www.warsawinstitute.org Editorial Dear Readers, special geopolitical relationship is coming to an end before our very eyes: an old union, now almost 70 years old; an unusual relationship, because it is one between the defeated and the winner; Aa union that has brought many benefits, and not only to both these sides. This is how Grzegorz Kuczyński, an expert from The Warsaw Institute Foundation, diagnoses the geopolitical situation by looking at the current relations between between the United States and Germany. It is indeed hard to shake off the impression that this relationship is crucial for the current distribution of power, not only for Europe but for the entire world including Central Europe. Experts point out that the crisis in the European Union is multifaceted and that indeed we are witnessing the simultaneous occurrence of many crises: the crisis in the eurozone, the crisis in the context of pursuing a common foreign and security policy, the migration crisis, Brexit, and the growing threat and occurences of terrorist attacks. These trends have consequences for all members of the European community and increasingly call into question the effectiveness of EU leadership. EU countries with less economic potential, on the other hand, have little chance of resisting the pressure of European bureaucracy, which only increases a lack of trust towards EU institutions. In this issue of the Western Report, we examine the situation in Europe in its various aspects, focusing largely on geopolitics, demographics, and economics. 3/2018 3 Editorial I can refer here to an article by Tomasz Grzegorz Grosse who analyzed geopolitical changes in the EU, drawing attention to The their political, social, and economic dimensions.
