Summary/Abstract: The first post-war years caused major changes in the cultural movement of Romanians in the Yugoslav Banat, which primarily consisted in the introduction of ideological content in all cultural activities at the country level. Even before the end of the war, the new communist authorities tried to neutralize the influence of the Romanian Orthodox Church and all pre-war factors, especially the ASTRA association from the Yugoslav Banat, which they considered a collaborator of the German occupation regime during the Second World War II. In order to introduce new ideological contents and direct the cultural development of Romanians in the direction proposed by the communist regime, the agitrpop apparatus took a series of measures to use the cultural movement of Romanians from Banat in the interests of the new authorities, with the main aim of including Romanians in the new order that was being formed. They tried to achieve this by establishing the Cultural Union of Romanians, in 1945, and from 1948 all cultural activities came under the control of the Union of Cultural-Instructive Societies of Voivodina – Section for Romanians.
