Summary/Abstract: The Burning Bush were a spiritual and cultural group in 1940s’ Romania that offered the solution of inner resistance to communism through religion and culture. Representing a heterogeneous lay-monastical community, they aimed to discover a more profound dimension of Orthodoxy. Due to their preoccupations of Orthodox mystic, their social impact as well as their anti-communist views, they became targets of the communist repression, being arrested and imprisoned by the communist regime in 1958. The present paper proposes to reconstruct fragments from the history of their intellectual circle, with the help of oral history sources.
