Innovative ideas were seldom appreciated by the communist dictatorial regime, all the more so as they were a critique of the system. The idealism of the romantic period of communism, when some of those who suffered in previous eras joined the beliefs promoted by politicians, was radically transformed when the true intentions came to light. Isolated in the circle of the loved ones, one of the few places where he could express his true thoughts and feelings, Marius Mircu took refuge in writing, believing that irony and satire, the weapons of literature he mastered so well, would help him mask the true meaning of his words from the volume După cincizeci de ani [After Fifty Years]. The purpose of our study is to illustrate his efforts to publish this volume during the communist period, the reactions of the state authorities, and the actions taken against the author.

Keywords: Marius Mircu, Security, literature, opposition, press, După cincizeci de ani [After Fifty Years]
