PETREA ICOANEI. UNDERCOVER AND CLANDESTINITY DURING THE ANTICOMMUNIST RESISTANCE MOVEMENT

Summary/Abstract: This study presents the way Teodor Susman thakes over the group’s leadership after his father’s death, and builds himself o false identity, designed to ensure his survival as a clandestine. Using his talent in painting icons, he uses the name of Petrea Icoanei (Peter of the Icon). Under this identity he travels around localities that neighbour his village, succeding in mantaining communication with people who agreed to help them. Based on oral testimonies, this study presents the image the outlaws had within the community and also shows how Teodor Susman’s undercover identity was perceived and understood, as a gesture of resistance against communism.
