Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei waahanga - Ahakoa kei te hono tonu ia ki te Kaitiaki Iron, i te mutunga ka whati a Cecan ki te National Renaissance Front o Carol II i te 1938. I te mutunga o Hune 1940, i nohoia a Bessarabia e te Soviet Union
, ā, ka hopu tere te NKVD i a Cecan. Ko ana tuhinga anti-Semitic me tana mema o te PNSR i whakaarahia ki a ia e te kawanatanga o te Moldavian SSR. I te Poutu-te-rangi 13, 1941, i whakawakia ia e te Kishinev Tribunal ki te mate hei "counterrevolutionary", e kii ana i nga Tuhinga 54-11 me te 54-13 o te Code Criminal Ukrainian. I whakamutua tana mahi i te wa e whakaarohia ana tana mahi hei Russophile; i uru mai etahi o nga tangata torangapu mo tana ingoa ki a Lavrentiy Beria, te Perehitini Tuarua o tera wa. Heoi, kaore i taea te tiaki i tana take i te Pipiri 1941, me te whakaeke a Tiamana-Romanian i te Soviet Union. I te Pipiri 27, e rima nga ra i muri mai i te timatanga o te pakanga, i koperea a Cecan e te NKVD. Ahakoa ko etahi mahi e kii ana i puta tenei i te whare herehere o Kishinev, ko nga tuhinga a NKVD e tuhi ana i tona waahi mate hei Tiraspol.
