Summary/Abstract: One of Iuliu Maniu’s nephews, Professor Leonida Pop from The Romanian Border Guards Highschool of Nasaud, originated in Poiana Ilvei, played an important role together with his brothers and brothers‑in‑law in the organization and the activities of National Peasants’ Party from Bistriţa‑Năsăud County. Between 1926–1933 and 1944–1946, he was elected president of the party, and he won two parliamentary mandates in this position. The Pop brothers’ entire political activity represents just a part of the Romanians’ fight against Bolshevism and the Soviet occupation. Unfortunately, these daydreamers of a Romania of Romanians with the ancestral God paid for it and ended up behind bars. Their only fault was that they loved their country and their people. It was about the flash of destiny, a moment of consciousness and all notable feelings before the onset of a seemingly endless night.
