Summary/Abstract: The suffusion of the Advent belief on the territory of Romania and among Romanians was a novelty for the Romanian society. And new things meet the resistance of the conservatives who do not hesitate to fight against them through various methods. Adventists were often accused of treason, state sabotage and so on.
