 The contact established between the ICF and Cenuşa in late 1946 was the last to occur for decades, as the Communist regime was installed soon after.During the Communist period, many prominent regime figures, including Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, Chivu Stoica and Teohari Georgescu, were cremated and had their ashes placed in the "Monument of the Heroes for the Freedom of the People and of the Motherland, for Socialism" in Bucharest's Carol Park, whence they were removed after the Romanian Revolution of 1989.
