About
Corneliu Zelea Codreanu ( born Corneliu Zelinski; 13 September 1899 – 30 November 1938), commonly known as Corneliu Codreanu, was a Romanian politician, who was the founder and charismatic leader of the Iron Guard (also known as the Legionnaire movement), an ultranationalist, antisemitic, antimagyar, and antiziganist organization active throughout most of the interwar period. Generally seen as the main variety of local fascism, and noted for its Romanian Orthodox-inspired revolutionary message, the Iron Guard grew into an important actor on the Romanian political stage, coming into conflict with the political establishment and democratic forces. The Legionnaires traditionally referred to Codreanu as Căpitanul ("The Captain"), and he held absolute authority over the organization until his death. He is cited on the list of the 100 Greatest Romanians.
