Also known as Scinteia

Scînteia (Romanian for "The Spark") was the name of two newspapers edited by Communist groups at different intervals in Romanian history. The title is a homage to the Russian language paper Iskra. It was known as Scânteia until the 1953 spelling reform, which replaced the letter  with the phonologically identical Î in all cases.

Scînteia (ovvero "Scintilla"; la precedente scrittura del nome in romeno era Scânteia fino al cambio dell'ortografia nel 1953 ma nel 1993 venne ufficialmente ripristinata la precedente) era il nome di due giornali editi dai gruppi comunisti a diversi intervalli nella storia romena. Il titolo era ispirato a quello del quotidiano russo Iskra. Dal 1931 al 1989, è stato il quotidiano ufficiale del Partito Comunista Rumeno.
