The newspaper was eventually disestablished later in the war: following the change of fortunes and the start of Soviet presence in Romania, Crainic was cited in court. Sentenced "in absentia" for his role in instigating racial hatred (1945), he turned himself in after some two years in hiding. The original verdict was revised, but Crainic confronted the newly established communist regime, and was still held at Aiud prison for a period of 15 years. He was afterward rehabilitated in part, and assigned to the staff of "Glasul Patriei", a communist propaganda mouthpiece targeting the Romanian diaspora and controlled by the Securitate police apparatus. A similar road was taken by Radu Gyr, first incarcerated from 1945 to 1958, and then again sentenced for morally supporting the anti-communist maquis. As a show of goodwill from the communists, Gyr spent some time working under Crainic at "Glasul Patriei". George Ivașcu, the underground communist and "Vremea" columnist, spent five years in communist prisons, having been mistakenly identified as a "Sfarmă-Piatră" writer by the Securitate.
