 "Floarea de Foc" was less categorical in its defense of the democratic state.According to cultural historian Zigu Ornea, who wrote an overview of "Trăirism" (published 1995), Tudor's other publication remained an "ideologically unaffiliated" magazine, and as such open to all sorts of political opinions.For Paul Costin Deleanu, the Orthodoxist columnist at "Floarea de Foc", the legacy of Romanian liberalism was suspect, and Orthodox Romania existed outside the Western world.
