The Moldovan officials drove him away, the Romanians recognized his value much too late. A few time before dying, he was awarded the Excellence Prize of the Romanian Cultural Foundation", said Marcel Loteanu, who arrived to Bassarabia to participate in the commemorative actions dedicated to the jubilee of his brother.
