 A scandal erupted in 1934, when the magazine was closed down over Crainic's implication in the trial of Premier Ion G. Duca's assassins, all of them members of the fascist Iron Guard (a movement to which Crainic was close at the time).Instigation of the killing was attributed to, among others, Crainic, who faced trial; "Gândirea", like "Calendarul" (his other major journal), was closed down by the authorities.The editor was eventually acquitted, but "Calendarul" was never allowed to resume print.
