First sentence: As in most East European countries, communism came to Romania with the Red Army; on the eve of the royal coup of August 23, 1944, in which King Michael joined forces with the Soviet Union to overthrow Marshal Ion Antonescu's pro-German government and bring the country into the Allied camp, the Romanian Communist Party (RCP) had fewer than 1,000 members.
