(This remains a subject of debate among historians, for there is a dearth of evidence in the Romanian archives on Pauker's position on Pătrășcanu, because all transcripts of Politburo discussions on the Pătrășcanu inquiry were summarily destroyed on the orders of General Secretary Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej.)
(Toto ostáva predmetom debaty historikov, pretože v rumunských archívoch je nedostatok dôkazov o vplyve Paukerovej na Pătrăşcanu, pretože všetky prepisy politbyrových rozhovorov o vyšetrovaní Pătrăşcanu boli zničené na základe príkazu generálneho tajomníka Gheorgha Gheorghiu-Deja).
