One of the first books published in the early 90s by the newly founded Bucharest publishing house Humanitas was Pitesti phenomenon Virgil Ierunka.

I don’t remember if the co-author from Paris, etc., is known Free Europe in Romanian, he used to serialize his works on short waves, in the show The story is over. But I know for sure that I experienced it with horror. What I read there seemed to be beyond human comprehension. The torturers, as they appeared in Ierunka’s book, represented the inhuman in its purest form. The facts seemed simply unbelievable. Memorial of pain Lucia Hossu Longinus with episodes dedicated to him EXPERIMENT as well as a book starring the criminal Aleksandru Nikolski, an exceptional book by Paul Goma, as well as others on the same topic, including a recent one by young researcher Alin Muresan, a film Between Chin and Amin directed by Toma Enake, show Experiment P mounted about three or four years ago in the Theater Oleksandr Davila from Pitesti by Alexander Hausvater was undoubtedly confirmed by Virgil Yerunka. The one who said that “what has not yet reached everyone’s consciousness is that in the Romanian archipelago there was an island of absolute horror, like no other in the entire communist penitentiary geography: the prison of Pitesti”.

Naturally, cinematography plays a special role in the necessary knowledge of this terrible black spot in the history of Romania. So it cannot be better than what is already known Between Chin and Amin it was added in early 2023 with another feature film on the same theme. The name of the film is The Pitesti experiment, written by Oleksandra Aksinte and Victoria Baltag, and produced and directed by Victoria Baltag. Filming in The Pitesti experiment they started 11 years ago, long before Tom Enache Between Chin and Amin, but the products came out to the public so late because of the complete lack of funding from the government bodies authorized and even obliged to solve these problems. This fact is disturbing and symptomatic of the self-serving cultivation of amnesia when it comes to highlighting the woes and horrors of the communist past. And if the movie The Pitesti experiment comes to the public, it is due to the persistence of the director and producer Victoria Baltag, as well as to the generosity and patience of more than a hundred actors in the cast, led by the late Ion Karamitru, who has not received a reward even to this day. And this despite the fact that the filming was not easy. No one can take on the interpretation of brutal scenes, sometimes even difficult to watch, let alone to film, which represent the terrible physical and moral suffering experienced in Pitesti prison, or the moral aggression aimed at psychological aggression. the destruction and mockery of Mark’s character’s faith. The latter was one of the most perfect series, the burden of which fell mainly on the shoulders of some young actors. It is primarily about Sergio Morara (Herman Morara) and Rares Lukacsi (Marka). Ion Karamitrou, who played the role of a teacher with communist convictions, Georgeta Burdujan, the mother of the future torturer Herman Morara (whose model, however, looks too idealized and hard to believe), creates very good works with them. inner feelings are the odious Eugene Tsurkanu, and I make this observation despite some indirect explanations of the character or forebodings from the statements of Professor Corneliu), Radu Gilash (whose character, Ovidiu Wasilewski, is a transposition of Nikolski in the film), Axel Voos, Dora Afthanasiou, Claudiu Obey

The story of The Pitesti experiment it starts around 1942. When Herman Moraru, who was brought to high school by his uncle Corneliu, finds himself in a situation of choosing between legionnaires and communism. This is where my questions begin. However, it is hard to believe that the legionnaires still moved as freely as shown in Victoria Baltzga’s film after Ion Antonescu, the leader of the state, broke it dramatically and bloodily with Horia Sima and his men. That is, after the uprising of the legionnaires. I really don’t understand how legionnaires can still hold positions like mayor in the new post-Revolt political architecture and in the eyes of the world. It is known that Antonescu even developed an anti-Legionarian obsession. The red flag appears two or three times in the film. Which, if I saw correctly, says PCR. However, from 1948 the PCR became the PMR as a result of the forced absorption of the PSD. At least some dialogues are marked by major flaws, unnaturalness. It is hard to believe that the verb was used in the 50s implement expressed Herman Moraru, referring to Makarenko’s pedagogy. The word caused chaos after 1989. When was its use implemented from Peter Roman. The costumes also have criticisms. Political prisoners from Suceava or Pitesti wore zege there and never white pants and shirts.

Apart from these remarks, it is undeniable that Victoria Baltag needed a historical consultant. Its absence is obvious and has costs. sin. Because The Pitesti experiment it is personalized with many good things. In addition to those already revealed, I mention the visuals signed by Marius Donici and Cosmin Dumitrake, the sound by Marin Kazaku and finally the music composed by Matt Gear.
