Youth Subcultures Ad-hoc Collection at CNSAS

The Youth Subcultures Ad-hoc Collection at CNSAS comprises documents created or collected by the Romanian secret police, the Securitate, about the emergence and development of Western-inspired subcultures among the members of the younger generation in Romania, subcultures which the communist regime considered harmful for their education and whose influence it thus tried to counteract. This collection illustrates that young people even in an isolated country like Romania in the 1970s and the 1980s still became exposed via Western broadcasting agencies to Western cultural goods, especially to music, which made them adopt alternative life styles and wear provocative outfits in order to build distinctive collective identities. Out of the many young people who attracted the unwanted attention of the Securitate two cases stand out and are featured in this ad-hoc collection: Clubul Regilor Liberi (The Club of the Free Kings) in Brăila and Organizația Tinerilor Liberi (The Organisation of Free Young People) in Bistrița.

国家信息保障局（CNSAS）的青年亚文化临时收集库包含了罗马尼亚秘密警察——国家安全委员会（Securitate）所创建或收集的文件，这些文件记录了西方影响下罗马尼亚年轻一代亚文化的出现与发展。该收集库揭示了即使在20世纪70年代和80年代的孤立国家罗马尼亚，年轻人依然通过西方广播机构接触到了西方文化产品，尤其是音乐，这促使他们采纳替代生活方式，穿着挑衅性的服装，以构建独特的集体身份。在这众多引起国家安全委员会注意的年轻人中，有两个案例尤为突出，并被收录在此临时收集库中：布拉亚的“自由国王俱乐部”（Clubul Regilor Liberi）和比斯特里察的“自由青年组织”（Organizația Tinerilor Liberi）。
