TL;DRAbstract

Communist policy towards the Roma in the Warsaw Pact countries - once it became formulated towards the end of the 1950s - regularly adopted an approach oriented towards what we, today, would call forced-assimilation. This paper assesses the intellectual and political forces shaping communist policy and, above all, its implementation. Ironically, it could be argued that assimilationist politics in part produced greater cultural differentiation.
