Reports of the state security about the ’Közgáz-klub’

The reports that agents compiled about the Közgáz-klub were saved at the Historical Archives of the Hungarian State Security (Állambiztonsági Szolgálatok Történeti Levéltára, or ÁBTL). Through these documents, we can gain an insight into the critical and free-spirited debates that took place among students and these sources also show us what the state security thought to be a dangerous phenomenon in the 1980s. The task of the agents was to observe the students whom were regarded to be opposition figures, finding the main actors and preventing the association of young people from different universities.

Revolution of 1989 in Timișoara - Private Photograph Collection

The Lucian Ionică private collection is one of the few collections of snapshots taken during the tensest and most feverish days of the Romanian Revolution of December 1989 in the city of Timişoara, the place where the popular revolt against the communist dictatorship first broke out. The photographic documents in this collection preserve the memory both of the dramatic moments before the change of regime and of the days immediately after the fall of Nicolae Ceauşescu, when sudden freedom of expression produced moments no less significant for the recent history of Romania.
