La liturgie apocalyptique d’un mouvement politique seculaire: Dechiffrer l'ideologie de la Garde de Fer

Abstract: Over the last six decades, a significant number of Western scholars approached the Legion – Archangel Michael as one of the most popular and yet inconsistent variant of European fascism, and portrayed it as too mystical, religious, fanatic, violent, irrational, rabid anti-Semitic, obsessed with an atavistic cult of death and the idea of sacrifice. The article aims to point out that the Legion, a variant of European fascism in its epoch, only made politics religious, supplied (some of) the Romanians with a new political ideology but also with a new religion, political and quasi-secular, that took birth from disillusions and despair as to give men (and women) energy and hope, a religion that encapsulates the European spirit of that time and has less to do with Romania‘s Christian Orthodox heritage
