| Summary: | Regarded by some of the historians and political analysts as being the brave expression of the independence policy run by Romania, meanwhile others considered it to be a masquerade and the beginning of Nicolae Ceauşescu’s cult of personality, the 21st of August 1968 remains a milestone in Romania's recent history.

The state of uncertainty expressed at the top of the communist party and population's concern regarding a possible military intervention of the Soviet Union and other communist countries in Romania, after Czechoslovakia's model, have created a favorable climate for rumor appearance. These rumors, as we know now, did have a grain of truth.
