Nationalismus und Verschwörungstheorien in rumänischen Medien
Nationalism and Conspiracy Theories in the Romanian Media

Summary/Abstract: The synthesis presents the main publications from Romania’s radical right that played an important role in shaping public opinion after 1990. At the organizational level the Romanian radical nationalist scene has remained divided, mainly for reasons of political and ideological strife. But political ideas, concepts of the racist or anti-Semitic ideology and historical interpretations that reflect the universe of thought belonging to the radical right in Romania have been disseminated through the media over the past years. In this context, the present synthesis focuses on several newspapers, films and books popularizing ideas borrowed from the fascist ideology of the inter war Iron Guard, as well as current forms of Holocaust denial, closely related to the attempts of the legal and moral rehabilitation of the dictator Ion Antonescu, a key ally of Hitler.
