The PCdR recreated itself as a "Workers' Party", while the Independent Social Democrats, led by Petrescu and Jumanca, remained active until the 1948 installment of a fully-fledged Romanian communist regime. Both leaders ended up as political prisoners of the regime (Jumanca died in prison).Frunză, p.266, 275–286; Neagoe, p.112–113 During the Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej era of Romanian communism, Moscovici's activity was almost entirely stricken out from historical records. Zilber, who fell out with the communist regime and spent 18 years as a political prisoner, noted in his memoirs that expunging Moscovici and other deceased but inconvenient socialists from the history of Romania was "not hard at all": "difficulties showed up only when it came to the live ones".Șerbulescu, p.96
