The Romanian Communist Party (PCR) was a political party in Romania that governed the country from the end of World War II until the Romanian Revolution of 1989. It was established in 1921 and played a significant role in the establishment of a communist regime after the war, aligning closely with the Soviet Union. The party's policies focused on state control of the economy and suppression of political dissent. During its rule, the PCR implemented various social and economic reforms, including land redistribution and nationalization of industries. However, the regime faced criticism for its authoritarian practices and human rights violations. The party was dissolved after the revolution, leading to the transition to a democratic government.
