The claim that communism never took place can be read in various meanings. For one thing, the claim may reflect the fact that the communist, socialist past is being repressed in the countries of Eastern Europe. There is no culture of critical remembrance and work-up. These countries do not come to terms with the past.
Analyzing the history is necessary, in order not to repeat mistakes and to be able to shape the future without the ghosts of the past.
However, there are documents from the time, including the records from which the letters of the text were cut. On the sound carriers are recordings with patriotic, socialistic songs, encouraging folklore or the speeches of the dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu (1918 – 1989).
