- Abstract
The present study analyses the beginning of the Communist regime's offensive against the Romanian Greek-Catholic Church in competition with other Communist states in applying a Soviet pattern of mock trials. For this purpose, the object of the repression authorities at the beginning of 1948 was the staging of a high treason trial to the Metropolitan Bishop unrecognised by the Communist regime of the Romanian Church United with Rome, Greek-Catholic, the Bishop of Maramure? Alexandru Rusu. In order to create a criminal case, the Abbot of the Greek-Catholic Monastery from Bixad, Father Gheorghe Marina, was initially arrested and later was the Provincial Superior of the Order of St. Basil the Great, Atanasie Maxim. The legal indictment has changed many times, because neither with the gross violation of the criminal procedure sufficient rules of evidence could not be provided.
