Hello my dear.

I was born in Romania, in the capital Bucharest. My mother's familly belongs, I would say, to the bourgeoisie. My father's side is more "popular".
My mother's familly was touched by communism. For example they had to share their flat with another familly, which was put there by the government.
My paternal grand pa belonged to the communist party; but my parents being divorced since I'm 4, I can't really speak with my dad, so I can't have his parents point of vieux about that era.
So with that background, with that knowledge, I hate that communism of course.

Since 5 I live in France. When I was little I don't remember but now I know my parents vote for the main left party. My mum told me when she arrive from Romania, she of course voted right. =D But years passed by, she saw the right was shitfull. And now she's for the left-center party.^^
I never adhered to the right ideas. Now I am at the university, in History. I can tell you that in my university of Nanterre, and most specially in social science where I am, there are many left people, and most specially far left people. Those one, who belong to a party, are not that much, but they are very active. And during demonstrations lots of students are behind them. Well, with my anti-communist background, i have to admit it's sometimes a bit hard for me, my morality, to adhere to their ideas, and just hang with them.
But they tell me that the true communism, advocated by Marx, have nothing to do with Stalinism. Some are even fond of Lenin, tellingh me that i have to consider his acts throught the global events and social situation.
That's why i want to read book about Marx, Lenin, Stalin.
My mother knows i begin to interest myself into communism. But not my grandparents! =D

About my religious background, I am supposed (=D )to be be orthodox; i am baptised. But i don't believ at all in God, and most specially in the Books.

Well i told you my own experience.
I can't really describe you Romanian traditions, nor French.

Don't hesitate to ask me questions!
