Cât de mare era Securitatea la finalul regimului Ceaușescu. Cifre exacte, prezentate în premieră de CNSAS

At the end of the Ceaușescu regime, the Romanian Securitate had nearly 15,000 employees, according to newly released documents from CNSAS. The data reveals a detailed breakdown of the personnel, including 8,760 in the central apparatus and 5,869 in territorial units. The central structure was primarily located in Bucharest, with significant numbers in special units like counterintelligence and surveillance. The territorial apparatus ensured local control, with the Bucharest unit being the largest. Women made up 15.7% of the workforce, with very few in leadership roles, highlighting gender disparities within the organization.
