description The paper focuses on how ideas influenced political change in Romania and what effect this had on the people on an individual and collective level. It will briefly look at what people had to embrace in terms of social restructuring as well as how they managed to survive oppression in communist Romania. By diving into a brief history of the regime take over as well as the analysis of the ideas which influenced its inception, the paper will bring to light the context in which the populace lived and strived for as much freedom as they could obtain by means of deception. After having presented the said circumstances, the focus of the paper will shift toward the perspective of the populace and the life of individual citizens, showing how they managed not only survive but also maintain resilience. After the short historical introduction and subsequent analyses, the essay will conclude with observations concerning the period discussed and its consequences.
