In the first decades after unification in 1918, Ion Nistor – the remarkable historian and leader of the movement for defending the historical rights of Romanians in Bukovina - was involved in the process of consolidation of the Great Romania. In an era of vitality and creativity, as of disputes and divisions, he was asked to contribute to the so-called "full integration of Bucovina in the new Romanian state." The following study points out some characteristics of Nistor’s activity between 1919-1933, focusing on the political principles which inspired him in his career, as well as the main cultural achievements.
