As the first Romanian holder of the Bessarabia’s Metropolitan Church after 106 years of Russian occupation, the Metropolitan Gurie Grosu is one of the characters towards which history still has debts to pay. He was the protagonist of the Romanian conscience renaissance in Bessarabia even before the year 1918 and an active participant in the achievement of the Union with Romania in 1918. He was assigned the difficult mission to bring back the Romanians on the left bank of the Prut river to the national womb by means of the Church and he contributed immensely to the consolidation of the Union. Due to the censorship imposed by the Communist regime on the two sides of the Prut river, this matter is little known today, raising cumbersome political and religious questions. The volume The Trial and My Defense represents a valuable but extremely subjective historical source, which implies that much thoughtful consideration must be given and its contents must be mandatorily linked with other sources of information. From a legal standpoint, Gurie was a resigning metropolitan who did not go down in history by means of a punishment, a rehabilitation in its legal meaning since it didn’t have any object. Perhaps the Man Gurie had not always risen up to the height of the Hierarch but, without any doubt, if all available documentary proofs are to be researched sine ira et studio and weighted without judgment, it will be proved that the balance will not tip towards the Man’s weaknesses but, on the contrary, towards his admirable qualities, namely the contribution of Hierarch Gurie of Bessarabia to the 1918 Union and to the consolidation of the Romanian sentiment in this part of the country.
