D. BARAN: Dr. Victor Gomoiu, Balkan paradigms and lessons of a lifetime 143 Cantacuzino, member of the Romanian Academy and president of the RSHM, by then. Gomoiu`s attitude earned him the titles of honorary member of the Greek Society for the History of Medicine (Athenes, 1932), honorary member of the Association of the Serbian, Croatian and Slovene Physicians (Zagreb, 1933), member of the «Hippocrates» Society in Belgrad (1939); honorary member of the Turkish Society for the History of Medicine (Istambul, 1940). [6, 10] Resistance and correspondence After 1946, Dr.Victor Gomoiu was marginalized by the communist regime. He ostentatively refused to integrate the new political and ideological realities of his country, even though he turned down the royal family`s proposal to accompany them in their exile. He simply tried to resist imposture and fight for his country and people, for his credo, to the end of his life, assuming the supreme sacrifice. [7] Immediately after 1945, communists imposed their own rigorous laws. Opposing psychological pressure and ostracization, Gomoiu maintained his correspondence with former friends and collaborators: Tricot-Royer, Giordano, Siegerist, Castiglioni, Diepgen, Pazzini, Guiart, Verhoeven, Sergescu. Letters were censored and details had to be unvoiced or subtly implied. Western correspondents had a faint idea about what was going on beyond the iron curtain. When addressing colleagues from the communist camp, e.g., Bulgaria or Yugoslavia, Gomoiu`s language became more sympathetic and even direct. [7] They were experiencing a similar tragedy. Behavioural paradigms and the lessons of history Victor Gomoiu`s memoirs reveal his disappointment that under the particular post- World War II circumstances, Valeriu Bologa had chosen a different, more “materialistic” way. [7] Bologa bowed to political pressure and advised Gomoiu to accept reality. But for Gomoiu «moral death seemed more serious than physical decay». It was unbearable for the intransigent Gomoiu who, to metamorphosing into a «new man», preferred martyrdom and the final «judgement of history» which gave him a sense of relief. Bologa, instead, coped with the new social order and political rules. Gomoiu exceptionally pioneered and sanctioned medical historical research in Romania; Bologa exceptionally developed this domain and became a reference author of classic writings and of the first handbooks. President of the RSHM (1949-1971) and vice-president of the ISHM (1964- 1970), Bologa organized in 1970 the XXII nd ISHM Congress in Bucharest and Constantza, the second of this kind in Romania. Which was the right choice for intellectuals under «the terror of history»? This still is both a Romanian and Balkan dilemma, another tragic «riddle of history». References [1]. Bologa V.
