Summary/Abstract: The present paper deals with elements that, according to communist criteria, made the text susceptible to censorship. As a matter of fact, it is a simulation of the analysis that should generally precede the translation process. This translation-oriented type of analysis is of avail for identifying the source text structures that might have caused the banning of the pre-communist translation and triggered the publication of a target text conforming to communist norms.
