Abstract

Situated in the category of “the traveler fellows” of the communists, the Patriots’ Union of Romania played an important role in the eff ort to conquer the power, along with other such structures as Plowmen Front, Hungarian People’s Union, Patriotic Defense etc. The Union of Patriots was founded by the communist circles in Romania as an illegal organization in the summer of 1942, in order to contribute to fi nalize a comprehensive internal opposition as against the war unleashed against the Soviet Union. After August 23rd 1944, its work was quickly redirected in order to un-fascism the country.
