	Corneliu Vadim Tudor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Corneliu Vadim Tudor as a symbol of the Greater Romania Party on a 2004 campaign poster.
		He is most commonly referred to as "Vadim", many times understood as a family name (although it is clearly not shared with his relatively well-known brother, former Securitate officer and fellow Party member Marcu Tudor).
		Of no less importance is Tudor's irredentism: the ideal of a Greater Romania is what gives the party its name, and Tudor has campaigned several times around the notion that he is the only Romanian politician to have maintained this particular goal.

	East European Constitutional Review
		Vadim Tudor is an avowed exponent of forces nostalgic for a regime of draconian authority, xenophobia, and opposition to democratic values and tolerance.
		Vadim Tudor’s party is not a "traditional" extreme-right party nor is it a reincarnation of the mystical-revolutionary Iron Guard, the fascist movement present in Romania during the interwar period.
		Vadim Tudor’s idols are indicative of his mindset: the medieval prince Vlad Tepes (the Impaler); the pro-Nazi dictator, Marshal Ion Antonescu; and the communist nationalist leader, Nicolae Ceausescu.

	Greater Romania Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In June 2005, Tudor asserted that he had decided the new PRM leadership had distanced itself from the founding principles of the party, and he sacked the new leadership and reverted the party's name back to simply the "Greater Romania Party".
		The party was founded in 1991 by Tudor and his literary mentor, the writer Eugen Barbu, one year after Tudor launched the "Greater Romania" (Romania Mare) weekly magazine, which remains the most important propaganda tool of the PRM.
		Throughout this period, Tudor continued to print articles with Antisemitic or Holocaust denial themes in his publications[4], although he sometimes added disclaimers asserting that the articles did not necessarily reflect the views of the publication, and were being published in the spirit of press freedom.

		Tudor's vitriol is well-documented, most prominently in his own magazines, which contain a litany of anti-Jewish, anti-Hungarian and anti-Gypsy arguments.

		Toma, Tudor's right hand said, miming a soldier with a slung weapon, "is not that he will shoot people, but that the machine gun is on the shoulder." Many politicians and journalists, even those who oppose Iliescu called on Romanians to reject Tudor in the last election round.
		Vadim Tudor insisted that he was pro-European and that he supported democracy, but his comments had too often been extremist and racist.
		The second round was a round of desperation, of actually voting against Tudor, than for Iliescu, although Iliescu's votes came mainly from those who see in him sort of a father figure — among them, many poor and rural voters as well as those who have lived under communism.

	RADIO FREE EUROPE/ RADIO LIBERTY
		Much has been made in Romanian post-electoral commentaries of Corneliu Vadim Tudor's and the Greater Romania Party's (PRM) success with two categories of voters among whom their previous electoral performance was poor: Transylvanian voters and the young.
		Tudor himself managed to carry in the first presidential round 13 counties, of which eight were Transylvanian and -- as the ultimate insult for those pinning hopes on Romania's eventual "westernization" -- the Banat, whose Timisoara capital sparked the 1989 revolt against Nicolae Ceausescu.

		Tudor received 12.57 percent of the vote, finishing behind Prime Minister Adrian Nastase, who received 40.94 percent, and Bucharest Mayor Traian Basescu, who received 33.92 percent.
		Tudor managed to make the runoff with Iliescu (though losing by a large margin) and his PRM took about one-fifth of the seats in both the upper and the lower houses, becoming the second-strongest party in the legislature.
		Aware of this image, Tudor suddenly underwent what Romanians called a "transfiguration": he hired an Israeli electoral spin doctor to manage his and his party's 2004 campaign, took his party on a pilgrimage to Auschwitz, and expressed public regret for his previous Holocaust-denying posture.
