【 摘 要 】

Communism is an ideology opposing religion and Christianity through all its components.The conflict among them breaks through at all levels, from the level of thought to that of practicalapplicability. Communism in postwar Romania was installed not due to any mass sympathy but dueto the involvement of the USSR and to some favourable political contexts made available to theSoviet leaders by the Western states from the anti-Hitler front. The elections in 1947 were a greatfarce which unfortunately received the approval of the great European powers. Romania was leftvoluntarily to the disposal of the USSR which imposed its own ruling model. The consequences at apolitical, social and military-strategic level have been so difficult to measure. For almost half acentury most of Eastern Europe was dominated by communism. At a religious level, Christianity wasoppressed under various forms and has subsisted due to some personalities who succeeded inapplying a survival policy.
