Ştefan Gheorghiu Academy

Ştefan Gheorghiu Academy

The Ştefan Gheorghiu Academy (Romanian: "Academia Ştefan Gheorghiu", in full: "Academia de învăţămînt social-politic Ştefan Gheorghiu de pe lîngă CC al PCR" - approx. "Ştefan Gheorghiu Academy for Socio-Political Education in Relation to the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party") was a university created and used by the Romanian Communist Party (PCR) for training its cadres for executive and agitprop-related functions.

It was established as "Universitatea Muncitorească a PCR" ("PCR Workers' University") and began functioning on March 21, 1945 in Bucharest, apparently on Ana Pauker's initiative. Its first leaders were rector Barbu Lăzăreanu, a literature professor, and secretary Constantin Ionescu-Gulian, a Stalinist philosopher. The name "Ştefan Gheorghiu" was added on February 10, 1946, in memory of an early 20th century Romanian social-democrat.

Another school with much the same purpose, "Şcoala Superioară de Ştiinţe Sociale A. A. Jdanov" ("A. A. Jdanov Upper School of Social Sciences"), was created separately; the two eventually merged.

The Ştefan Gheorghiu Academy was dissolved after the Romanian Revolution of 1989.
