Romanian general election, 1867, Scarlat Vârnav

( Back to T:TDYK )

( Article history links:

... that the January 1868 death of a Romanian nationalist monk, just days after he had been elected deputy, sparked an antisemitic riot? Source: See Scarlat Vârnav for quotes from Rosetti ("the excitement of the population required intervention of troops sent in from bordering counties, as a safeguard for the Jews, whose lives were being threatened") and Iorga ("His death was found suspicious, and military measures were taken to curb the anti-Jewish movements"). Vârnav's date of death and the fact that he had just been elected deputy are most detailed in Românul of January 1–3, 1868 (also quoted there); this is also verified by Nicolescu citation, which specifies the exact date the election ended on (note: Old Style dates in citations!).

Everything checks out: new enough, long enough, hook is interesting and cited. QPQ done. AGF on the source. --Coemgenus (talk) 16:09, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
