Historical data:
Marxist ideas penetrated in Romania through the PSDMR, whose existence in the initial formula was nonetheless ephemeral. It was not the first time the party had experienced such a change. In 1920, Romania sent a delegation to Soviet Russia, charged with finding out the conditions of affiliation with the International III (Comintern). Those who were part of this delegation were Gheorghe Cristescu, Eugen Rozvani, Alexandru Dobrogeanu-Gherea, David Fabian, Ion Fluieraș and Constantin Popovici. Certainly, those who were sent were some of the most important members of the movement. In May 1921, during one of its congresses, the socialist party was to receive a coup through the news of the establishment of the Communist Socialist Party in Romania.
