Writers' Union of Romania

Writers' Union of Romania

The Writers' Union of Romania ( _ro. Uniunea Scriitorilor din România), founded in March 1949, is a professional association of writers in Romania. It also has a subsidiary in Chişinău, Republic of Moldova. The Writers' Union of Romania was created by the communist regime by taking over the former Romanian Writers' Society ("Societatea Scriitorilor Români"), which had been established in 1908.
