Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims to uncover the post-1948 intellectual career of the main exponent of Orthodoxism, namely Nichifor Crainic. After spending a period in the Communist prisons, Crainic began to write articles in the Communist sponsored newspaper ‘Glasul Patriei’(The Voice of the Fatherland) addressed to the Romanian émigré communities. The Communist regime had chosen intellectuals of the former regime that enjoyed remarkable prestige in the Romanian Diasporas to promote the liberalization of the approach towards the intellectual life and an emphasis on elaborating a Communist version of interwar nationalism.
