Timeline

1924

Starting in 1924, he studied at the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy of the University of Bucharest, where he received his Ph.D. in Literature and became a Senior Lecturer.

He made his literary debut in 1924 with the well-received volume Liniști de schituri ("Silence of the sketes").

1927

In 1927 he married Flora, with whom he had a daughter, Simona Luminița.

1930

In the 1930s he published in right-wing, nationalist literary magazines such as Gândirea, Gând Românesc, Sfarmă-Piatră, Decembrie, Vremea, Revista Mea, and Revista Dobrogeană, and in the newspapers Cuvântul, Buna Vestire, and Cuvântul Studențesc.

He joined the Iron Guard fascist movement, becoming in time its commander in the Oltenia region.

When the Iron Guard was repressed by the regime of King Carol II, Gyr was arrested and imprisoned at Tismana.

1940

After the National Legionary Government came to power in September 1940, he was appointed General Manager of the Romanian Theatres.

Under his administration, the Barașeum Jewish Theater (later State Jewish Theater) was founded.

The creation of the Jewish Theatre was accompanied by an interdiction against Jewish actors playing anywhere else in Romania, part of a joint effort to purge Jewish people from "Romanian" (non-Jewish) theatres across the country.

Gyr was imprisoned for 20 years and he was never completely rehabilitated as a writer.

1941

In January 1941, after the Legionnaires' rebellion was put down by the Ion Antonescu regime, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison, for inciting the crowd.

His first years as a political prisoner began as soon as the Iron Guard lost their battle with Antonescu.

After spending time at Aiud Prison, Gyr was sent to fight on the Eastern Front (a form of punishment which was reserved for former Legionnaires) and was gravely wounded at the battle of Vinogradov.

1944

After the 1944 Romanian coup d'état he was re-arrested, and condemned to 12 years of hard labor.

Sent back to Aiud, he was later transferred to a prison in Brașov.

1949

It had been issued as the last wave of brutal collectivization was taking hold of rural Romania (a process which lasted between 1949 and 1962).

An English translation of the poem:

Not for a heaped shovel of ruddy hot bread,

nor for barns full of grain, nor for fields full of corn,

instead for your heavens to be free of dread

rise up now Gheorghe, rise up now Ion!

For the blood of your folk flowing red through the drains,

for your beautiful song which was stifled at morn,

for the tears of your sun, left imprisoned in chains,

rise up now Gheorghe, rise up now Ion!

Not so that your fury sinks teeth into bars,

but to sing as you fill, on the crest of the dawn,

a heap of horizons and a hatful of stars,

rise up now Gheorghe, rise up now Ion!

So that freedom you drink, flowing fresh from the pail,

and to heavenly whirlpools be mightily drawn,

while apricot buds shake on you, merry hail,

rise up now Gheorghe, rise up now Ion!

And so, as you kindle your kisses on fires,

1958

In 1958 he was sentenced to death by the Communist authorities because of his poem, considered subversive by the regime, "Ridică-te Gheorghe, ridică-te Ioane!"

("Arise Gheorghe, Arise Ioan!").

The poem called — in the style of a rally to war — the 'Romanian nation', symbolized by generic Romanian Christian names, to revolt.

1975

Radu Gyr (pen name of Radu Ștefan Demetrescu ; March 2, 1905 – 29 April 1975) was a Romanian poet, essayist, playwright and journalist.

Born in Câmpulung-Muscel, Gyr was the son of actor Ștefan "Coco" Dumitrescu.

When he was 3, his family moved to Craiova, where he did his secondary studies at the Carol I High School.
