Abstract: The article intends to bring to the foreground the case of Dan-Grigore Pistol, one of the young people who, in 1958, was convicted in the group “Teodorescu Alex. and others” (also known as the “The Burning Bush” group), together with Șerban Mironescu, George Văsîi, Niculae Rădulescu and Emanoil Mihăilescu. Unlike the students mentioned above, the subject of this research remains one of the mysterious figures of this large-scale spiritual movement, the testimonies of the survivors emphasizing its unique, quasi-anonymous position. The current study required the recovery of information using the files from the National Council for the Study of Secret Police Archives, his files from the Criminal Collection and the searching for information representing the significant bibliographic references of the study. The reading of the pages of his files should be done with caution since they represented the perspective of the Secret Police, a repressive organ, meant to justify the convictions.
