 When Chișinevschi died in 1963, no obituary appeared in Romania.In April 1968, Ceaușescu relished the opportunity to denounce him (along with Gheorghiu-Dej and Alexandru Drăghici) for Pătrășcanu's execution.After Chișinevschi's first wife died, he married Liuba Chișinevschi (1911–1981), a party member from 1930 and an activist during its underground years (whose last name he took).
