In May 1941, the Romanian government sent her into exile to the Soviet Union in exchange for Ion Codreanu, a former member of Sfatul Țării (the parliament of Bessarabia that voted for union with Romania on 27 March 1918), who was detained by the Soviets after their occupation of Bessarabia in 1940.
V máji 1941, Rumunská vláda ju poslala do exilu do Sovietskeho zväzu výmenou za Iona Codreanu, bývalého člena Sfatul Țării (Besarabský parlament, ktorý odsúhlasil spojenie s Rumunskom 27. marca 1918), ktorý bol zadržaný Sovietmi po okupácií Besarábie v 1940.
