Communism represented a horrible dream and people woke up from it with great effort after almost one century of suffering and terror. Being obedient was of utmost importance. Murder became legal in the name of the communist ideals. Betrayal became a virtue. The facade of political trial made death common place. People lost their ideals on the way. The Cold War split Europe which was still suffering after a devastating conflagration. Words were carefully chosen and used. People almost lost their identity. The in famous clichés of propaganda invaded the literature of the age. Artistic creation was put under constraint and all intellectuals had to comply with the rules imposed by the party or suffer the consequences.
