Abstract

Petru Groza’s Left Turn in the Late 1920s and in the Early 1930s In the late 1920s, Petru Groza embarked on an ideological quest and became intensely preoccupied with the question of Bolshevism and the person and historical role of Béla Kun. In my study, I will describe the long process, lasting several years, during which his left turn in thinking took place. Using newly discovered archival sources, I show that Groza had a strong sense of mission and vocation, and an inner conviction that he would be the leader of the new communist Romania. I argue that the final impulse for his left turn was his meeting with Hillel Kohn in December 1931 and their subsequent meetings. Keywords: Communism, Petru Groza, left turn, sense of mission and vocation, spiritualism.
