- Abstract
Traian Brăileanu (1882-1947) was professor at the University of Cernăuţi during the interwar period. With studies in Cernăuţi and Vienna, he was an important representative of Rumanian sociology. In 1919, he returned to Cernăuţi, where he became the holder of the Department of Ethics, Sociology and Policy chair. After a tour through various political parties, he entered at the end of the 1920s in the Legionary Movement. He encouraged the Romanian students to be actively involved in this movement by the magazines he sponsored "Iconar" and "Însemnări sociologice", connected to the "Generation of 1922". Brăileanu was an open partisan of the camps of work which he considered a means of educating the new man. Opinion leader in the Legionary Movement and an important pawn on the political scene in the 1930s, Brăileanu was considered an ideologist of the Iron Guard. After the authoritarian regime of Charles II, for the professor and the sociologist of Cernăuţi, the period September 1940 - January 1941 represented the climax of his political career. Unfortunately, this coincided with one of the most difficult moments in the history of Romania and with a black page of its existence - the National-Legionary State. Detained after January 23, 1941, released and again arrested, he was condemned to 20 years of prison and his fortune was confiscated; in 1946, he was imprisoned in Aiud by the Communists, where he died on October 3, 1947.
