The Romanian Communist Party (Partidul Comunist Român), was the ruling party from 1953 to 1989 of Romania.
History
The party was founded in 1921 after the Socialist Party of Romania split into the Romanian Communist Party and the Romanian Social Democratic Party. Before World War II, many communists were targeted and imprisoned by the Romanian monarchy[1] and the Communists were harshly persecuted by the fascist leader Ion Antonescu during the war.[2] After Romania was liberated by the Red Army, Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej became the leader of the party and Romania became a socialist state. Gheorghiu-Dej died of cancer in 1965 and was succeeded by Nicolae Ceaușescu. In 1989, after Radio Free Europe incited a counterrevolution in Romania, Ceaușescu was executed
