Political police at war against children’s literature during the ‘80s in Nicolae Ceaușescu’s Romania. Ana Blandiana’s ‘Întâmplări de pe strada mea’ (‘Events from my street’) – A case study

Dictators aren't very keen on jokes. This is the case of a Romanian children's book hunted down by the Romanian intel even in the readers' bedrooms, just because of a mild resemblance between a cat and the Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu.
