Abstract

The Securitate acted in the Western countries, through actions of a terrorist nature, conducted directly or through intermediaries, the targets being represented by the main opponents of the communist regime in Bucharest. The long arm of communism could reach each and every troublesome refugee. One form of action was that of attracting world-renowned personalities back to their country. Associating with them and the publicity they hoped to gain in this way could represent an image blow to the communist power. The present work presents such concrete operations: Traian Vuia, George Constantinescu and Henri Coanda. Paradoxically, none of the decision-makers and executors of these actions was held accountable by the Romanian state, which thus assumed the guilt for those crimes even after the fall of communism.
