  Abstract:  Anticommunist resistance was represented in Crişana by several subversive organizations and armed groups. They had a diverse political, social and ethnical composition. There existed groups made up and run by former members of the National Peasantry’s Party, others by members of the Legion, and there were many apolitical groups. The members were both wealthy and modest people; young (most of them) and old people; Romanians, preponderantly, but also Hungarians; men, most of them, and women. Several anticommunist groups were identified that operated in the region of Crişana in the period of 1948-1951: the groups of Ştefan Popescu, Vasile Sasu and Vasile Baltă, the organizations “G4”, “Vulturii Carpaţilor”/ the Carpathians Eagles, “Ziarul Ştiinţelor”/ Sciences Newspaper, “Organizaţia România Independentă”/ Independent Romania Organization, “Vlad Ţepeş”, “Sărsig”, etc. At the end of the 1940s, the plans of most of these groups were related to the much-expected breaking out of the war between the “Soviet camp” and the free world. They were annihilated by Securitate, and their members were submitted to severe examinations, tried, sentenced and sent to prisons, camps and colonies of forced labour.
