The three regimes organized successive purges of Jewish and left-wing journalists, preventing several of the "Adevărul" employees from working in the field. During its episodic rise to power, the Iron Guard mapped out its revenge against people associated with "Adevărul", dividing its former staff into three categories: "kikes", "traitors", and "minions". Nichifor Crainic, who served as Minister of Propaganda under both the National Legionary State and Antonescu, took pride in his own campaign against "Judaism" in the press, and, speaking at the 1941 anniversary of his tribune "Gândirea", referred to Goga's 1937 action against "Adevărul" and the others as a "splendid act of justice". According to one story, the palatial office formerly belonging to "Adevărul" was still at the center of a conflict between underground communists and the Guard: during the Legionary Rebellion of January 1941, the PCR attempted to set it on fire and then blame the arson on the fascists, but this plan was thwarted by press photographer Nicolae Ionescu.
