Glasul Patriei
''Glasul Patriei'' (Romanian for 'The Voice of the Fatherland') was a Communist Romania's propaganda publication aimed at Romanian emigres, that served the aim of promoting the Socialist Republic of Romania as a harbour not only of socialist ideas, but also as a natural continuation of Romanian nationalist and Orthodox traditions. Romanians with nationalist, Orthodox Christian or far-right credentials (such as people who once had been close to the fascist Iron Guard) were picked as the authors. The journal legitimized the regime by associating with members of the former elite and supported the view that former opponents of socialism were not being discriminated against. The journal portrayed the everyday reality of Romania positively, extolled how culture was now supposedly easy to access and re-interpreted symbolic figures of Romanian nation in a way that fit the regime.

It was strongly anti-democratic, anti-capitalist, anti-communist, and anti-Semitic. It differed from other European right-wing movements of the period due to its spiritual basis, as the Iron Guard was deeply imbued with Romanian Orthodox Christian mysticism. In March 1930, Codreanu formed the Iron Guard as a paramilitary branch of the Legion, which in 1935 changed its official name to the "Totul pentru Țară" party—literally, "Everything for the Country". It existed into the early part of the Second World War, during which time it came to power. Members were called Legionnaires or, outside of the movement, "Greenshirts" because of the predominantly green uniforms they wore. When Marshal Ion Antonescu came to power in September 1940, he brought the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
