Abstract
This paper explores narratives containing memories of everyday life in Rousse during socialism, and it creates an oral history profile of the town during the same period. The text discusses the most common themes in the biographical stories through which the socialist past was described, and it also presents examples of diverse life experiences and assessments of the past. The analysis is focused not so much on the historical details about the town as on the anthropological categories through which Rousse is described in the oral narratives of the residents.
Keywords: memory, socialism, thematic cores, assessment of the past, anthropological categories
