Abstract
Elena Ceau?escu, spouse of the Romanian communist leader Nicolae Ceau?escu, generated in the 1980s a gigantic homage industry, as she was the object of a personality cult as strong as that of her husband?s. This paper briefly outlines the origin and elements of Nicolae Ceau?escu?s personality cult, to focus then on Elena Ceau?escu?s cult: how at first it was merged with the cult of her husband, her being a mere companion of the head of state, and then grew to the point of paralleling that of Nicolae Ceau?escu during the last years of communist rule in Romania. The second part focuses on the evolution of Romanian state television and its crucial role in the diffusion of her personality cult, showing how this state institution became completely subordinated to the presidential couple in the 1980s, and pointing to a paradox of the period: the shorter Romanian television?s daily broadcasting time, the larger the amount of programming on Ceau?escu. Finally, the paper shows how January was infused with anniversary dates meant to consolidate the personality cult of the presidential couple and to reinvent communist traditions.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
