Long abstractIn Evadarea Tăcută: 3000 de zile singură în închisorile din România or The Silent Escape: 3000 Days Alone in Romanian’s Prisons, Lena Constante narrates the first seven years and seven months she spent in solitary detainment in the Romanian com-munist penal system. A playwright, artist, illustrator, and puppet-maker, Constante (1909–2005) was imprisoned as a result of one of the biggest Stalinist show-trials of the 1950s, the “Pătrășcanu lot,” which auctioned off prison sentences to Lucrețiu Pătrășcanu1 and his close friends and associ-ates. Orchestrated by Gheorge Gheorgiu-Dej, the General Secretary of the Romanian Communist Party after 1947, and resembling the charges brought against prominent Party members like Ana Pauker, Vasile Luca, and Teohari Georgescu, the trial aimed at purging the upper echelons of the Party of dangerous political opponents, while simultaneously bring-ing Romania in line with directives from Moscow.
