Historian and publicist Vladimir Tismăneanu said that Elena Vijulie Tănase, director of the Romanian section of the US radio station Europa Libera, announced that she had terminated her collaboration contract for financial reasons.
“Horses do not die when dogs want to: I started to collaborate with the radio station Free Europe in February 1983. I established the contractual conditions with Professor Vlad Georgescu, director of the Romanian department. They have remained unchanged, with the Necessary updates (address, bank account) to this day Pay has stayed the same since 1983 I wrote and write for Free Europe not for money, but for the cause of freedom.
Over the decades, I have received many death threats. No need to go into details. I welcomed the reopening of an RFE office in Bucharest about a year ago. I was a permanent contributor to Radio Free Europe Moldova, I was delighted that one of my articles was sent weekly by the Bucharest office.
A month ago, I received a laconic notification from Ms Elena Vijulie Tânase that, for financial reasons, the Agora section on the Romanian section’s website is being removed. Regrets? An attempt to communicate personally? The expression of appreciation for 37 years of constant collaboration? No way.
Today I received the official notification signed by Mrs. Elena Tanase (without Vijulie), director of the Romanian section. Until proven otherwise, which, I am sure, will come sooner than Mrs. Tanase and her consort imagine (with whom I am in the process because he published in the abject online “Cotidianul” lui Nistorescu my bank account number and my additional address).
In conclusion:
1. I continue to be a permanent contributor to Radio Europe Moldova.
2. What Ceaușescu and Iliescu did not achieve, Ms Tănase achieved. Congratulations! Conflict of interests? You can bet …
PS: I remember what Mr. Corneliu Coposu told me once: “Dear Vladimir, I forgive you everything, but there is one thing that I cannot overcome.” “What is it, Mr. Coposu?” “The fact that, thanks to you, we have in mind this braggart named Stelian Tănase who murders us under the pretext of being a ‘political scientist’ …” A file on the history of the CDR and of my mistakes. .. The result of my collaboration with -A life with free Europe is palpable: “The archeology of terror”, “The totalitarian night”, “The unrepeatable past”, “Effigies of a historical nightmare”, “Thesis and antithesis in Washington “. Also, and most importantly, the feeling that I did good to the country where I was born and whose language was and will always be the first in my life, ”wrote Vladimir Tismaneanu on Facebook.
