Alexandru Călinescu Private Collection

The Alexandru Călinescu private collection epitomises the trajectory of an intellectual in an important university city who began to practise a camouflaged contestation, published in local student magazines, with a limited readership, and ended up in unequivocal public opposition, disseminated transnationally through foreign radio stations. The collection marks some of the key episodes in the movement of resistance to and contestation of the communist regime as it manifested itself in Iaşi, the historical capital of the region of Moldavia and the city with the oldest university in the Old Kingdom of Romania. At the same time, the collection and the personal story of Alexandru Călinescu illustrate a lesson in dignity in very difficult times, when there were few who had the courage to speak openly against the Ceaușescu regime.

亚历山德鲁·卡拉伊内斯库私人收藏馆浓缩了一位知识分子在重要的大学城市中的发展轨迹。他从在地方学生杂志上发表隐蔽的质疑文章开始，读者群有限，最终演变为明确的公开反对，通过外国电台跨国传播。该收藏馆记录了抵抗和质疑共产主义政权的关键事件，这些事件在摩尔多瓦地区的首府、罗马尼亚旧王国的最古老大学所在的城市——雅西得以体现。与此同时，该收藏馆以及亚历山德鲁·卡拉伊内斯库的个人故事，展示了在极其困难的时期中，尊严的一课，当时敢于公开反对齐奥塞斯库政权的人寥寥无几。
