For his role in the experiment he received a new sentence to 15 years of forced labour, however he was released in May 1963 and assigned compulsory residence. Calciu-Dumitreasa was again arrested in 1978 and convicted to 10 years of prison for criticizing the regime of Nicolae Ceaușescu during his sermons at the , where he was working as a professor. Reportedly he suffered beatings and harassment in prison. He was released from prison due in part to pressure from supporters such as U.S. president Ronald Reagan. He spent years in exile in Virginia and ultimately settled there permanently. In the mid-1980s he preached on the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe. While Calciu-Dumitreasa was celebrated as a dissident and intensely promoted in anti-communist propaganda directed at Romania, his past association with fascism was constantly ignored, "if not intentionally hidden". Moreover, he continued to hold controversial views until his death, for example glorifying the "Brotherhood of the Cross", the youth organization of the Iron Guard, deifying Guard leader Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, proposing an idealized vision of Legionarism and denying the Holocaust in an interview in 2006. After being defrocked by the Romanian Orthodox Church, Calciu-Dumitreasa became a priest of the Orthodox Church in America, which never recognised his defrocking. In 1989 he took charge of the Holy Cross Romanian Orthodox Church at Alexandria, Virginia. In his last years he revisited his native land several times and met some of those whom he had influenced. He remained critical of certain Romanian Orthodox bishops to his last day, claiming they were former Securitate secret police infiltrators. Calciu-Dumitreasa died of pancreatic cancer on November 21, 2006 at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Woodburn, Fairfax County. He was survived by his wife of over 40 years, Adriana, and their son, Andrei. He was interred at the in Poiana Teiului Commune, Neamț County, Romania. (en)
  • Gheorghe Calciu-Dumitreasa (23 de noviembre de 1925, , condado de Tulcea, Rumania - 21 de noviembre de 2006, Woodburn, condado de Fairfax, Virginia) fue un sacerdote y disidente rumano. Cumplió 21 años de prisión durante el régimen comunista. Fue encarcelado por primera vez en 1948, pero alegó que su encarcelamiento de 1978 fue más duro. Había criticado las represiones de Nicolae Ceaușescu y llegó a ser visto como un "enemigo del estado". Según se informa, sufrió palizas y acoso en la prisión. Fue liberado de la prisión debido en parte a la presión de partidarios como el presidente de los Estados Unidos, Ronald Reagan. Pasó años en el exilio en Virginia y finalmente se estableció allí de forma permanente. A mediados de la década de 1980 predicó en Voice Of America y en Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.​ Después de ser expulsado por la Iglesia Ortodoxa Rumana, Calciu-Dumitreasa se convirtió en sacerdote de la Iglesia Ortodoxa en América, que nunca reconoció su expulsión. En 1989 se hizo cargo de la Iglesia Ortodoxa Rumana de la Santa Cruz en Alexandria, Virginia. En sus últimos años volvió a su tierra natal varias veces y se encontró con algunos de los que había influido.​ Siguió criticando a ciertos obispos ortodoxos rumanos hasta sus últimos días, alegando que eran antiguos infiltrados de la policía secreta de la Securitate.
