Nicodim was supportive of the Royal Family of Romania and a notable anti-Communist, refusing to give support for the Soviet-backed Communist regime in the process of installation in Romania in 1945–1947. His death in 1948 and the subsequent appointment of a new Patriarch, Justinian I, who was supportive of the Communists, has been viewed as suspect by historians. Nicodim Munteanu was buried at the Romanian Patriarchal Cathedral in Bucharest, next to the first Patriarch of Romania Miron Cristea.
