Nestor Ignat (born Nestor Ignat Filotti) is a Romanian journalist, writer and graphic artist. He is best known for his strong support for Marxist-Leninist ideology in culture. ==Journalist== Born in Iași in 1918, Ignat graduated from the Spiru Haret High School of Bucharest in 1936〔(Absolvenţi ai Colegiului Naţional Spiru Haret )〕 and continued his studies at the University of Bucharest. Nestor Ignat joined the Romanian Communist Party while it was still illegal. In 1944 he joined the staff of the ''Scânteia'' newspaper, where he was appointed editor. Working with the chief editor Sorin Toma and deputy chief editor Silviu Brucan, Nestor Ignat wrote editorial attacking the non-communist political parties and vocally demanding the sentencing to death of their leaders. This part of his activity is often quoted as an example of an expression of the Stalinist ideological excesses and intolerance.〔Ioan Lăcustă -''1953. La Consiliul de Ministri: În presă puţină teamă n-ar strica'' – ()〕〔Vladimir Tismăneanu -Dubioasa convertire a lui Silviu Brucan – Revista 22, 29 September 2006〕 Nestor Ignat's journalistic activity focused mainly on the ideological aspects. A staunch supporter of proletcultism, he defended the ideological purity of the socialist society and exposed the "bourgeois" intellectuals.〔Concluziile Raportului final al Comisiei Prezidentiale pentru Analiza Dictaturii Comuniste din Romania – 2006〕 He also published articles in literary magazines where he exposed not only the writers which he considered as being "reactionary" but also communist critics who were insufficiently pugnacious. An example is his study on Lucian Blaga published in Viaţa Românească in which he wrote: "Now when justice is under way for sentencing big and small criminals, it is our duty to denounce, to dispel all confusion, to tear off masks however well they might be composed, to through light into the darkness where fascism swarmed. We must eradicate evil, to extirpate it from every corner of the spirit. Those are the reasons for which we opened the "Blaga case", to enable all those who dreamed of an "aeonic" future, that the hour of reckoning has come and that nothing and nobody can escape from the crushing judgement of history."〔Nestor Ignat – ''Cazul Blaga'', – Viaţa Românească, January 1, 1946〕 A new wave of attacks started after student movements of 1956. A typical article of this period is a criticism of Anatol E. Baconsky, editor in chief of the magazine "Steaua" published by the Cluj section of the Writers' Union of Romania. This time Nestor Ignat disagrees with Baconsky's study of Mateiu Caragiale, accusing him of moving away from Marxism and from the "Leninist methods of revaluation of cultural heritage", of ignoring socialist realism and militant literature.〔Nestor Ignat – ''False modele'' – Scînteia, No 4201, 26 April 1958; No 4202, 27 April 1958〕〔Magda Wächter – ''Revenirea la modernitate. A.E. Baconsky şi Steaua'' – Steaua, No. 4-5, 2007. ()〕 Nestor Ignat held important functions in various professional organizations. He was chairman of the Union of Journalists and member of the National Council on the Romanian State Radio and Television Networks. He was also dean of the Faculty of Journalism of the University of Bucharest, giving up his position after the Romanian Revolution of 1989. Though he remained close to the higher hierarchy of the Romanian Communist Party, he became less active after Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej's death. In 1974, at the 11th Congress of the Communist Party, he was not elected a member of the Central Committee, although he had been proposed by his County Organization. There were only two political figures whose candidacy was rejected by the Congress.〔Anneli Maier – Cultural and Ideological Aspects of the 11th Rumanian Party Congress – Radio Free Europe, 13 December 1974 ()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nestor Ignat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
