Born in Santău Commune, Satu Mare County (then in Szilágy County, Austria-Hungary),〔 (Galeria Şefilor SMG ), at the Romanian Defense Ministry site; accessed April 2, 2012〕 he was of Hungarian ethnicity, a locksmith by training.〔 (Biografiile nomenklaturii ), at the Institute for the Investigation of Communist Crimes and the Memory of the Romanian Exile site; accessed April 2, 2012〕 In 1934, he was recruited into the military engineering branch of the Romanian Army, performing his military service in a broadcasting regiment.〔 He joined the banned Romanian Communist Party in 1939, belonging to its Transylvanian faction and holding positions in its Banat structures.〔〔 Florin Mihai, ("Generalul Ceaușescu, pe 'frontul' politic al Armatei" ), ''Adevărul'', 27 September 2011; accessed April 2, 2012〕 In 1948, following the establishment of a Communist regime, he became deputy Health Minister, followed by a stint in 1949-1950 as Constructions Minister.〔〔 In 1950, despite his limited military experience, he was promoted to army general and named Chief of the Romanian General Staff, holding the office until 1954.〔 He was made Armed Forces Minister in 1955, holding the position until his death.〔 While in this office, he was close to Nicolae Ceaușescu, alongside whom he sat on a high command during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, charged with suppressing unrest by any means necessary, including ordering security forces to open fire.〔〔Vladimir Tismăneanu, ''Stalinism for All Seasons: A Political History of Romanian Communism'', p.154. University of California Press, 2003, ISBN 0-52-023747-1〕 Within the party, he was a member of the central committee from 1945, and with Ceaușescu's rise to general secretary in 1965, he first became alternate member of the politburo and then member of the executive committee.〔〔 He died after a failed ulcer operation that resulted in much speculation.〔〔 In May 1966, he had participated in a rancorous meeting in Moscow with Soviet Marshal Andrei Grechko, with the latter demanding increased Romanian military participation in the Warsaw Pact and the Romanian side, increasingly assertive of independence, hesitating to embrace the idea. As with the controversial death of Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej a year earlier, Sălăjan's end came after being operated upon by doctors at Elias Hospital. According to an anesthesiologist who was present, Ceaușescu appeared after a first operation, encouraging the doctors: "Comrades, do something heroic!"〔 Christian Levant, ("Vizita la Moscova, ucigătoare și pentru Leontin Sălăjan" ), ''Adevărul'', 13 October 2007; accessed April 2, 2012〕 ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leontin Sălăjan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
