The town has also a big communist heritage. Between the 1950 and the 1960 the official name of the town was Stalin in honor of the Russian communist lieder: Iosif Vissarionovici Stalin.

But in the same time the Romanians Communists made from Brasov one of the independence towns from the Russian domination. First of all, in their industrialization project, in the fifties they make here the Romanian tractor factory.

Secondly, they have diversified the industry: the ball bearing factory, the hydro-mechanics and hydraulics engines factories and other industrial factories. For this, the communists have built a lot of apartments and made from Brasov a Working-Class City.

The legend says that Nicolae Ceausescu wants to change the capital of Romania from Bucharest to Brasov.
