Summary/Abstract: The present analysis refers to Alexandru Vaida-Voevod’s famous „Black Diary”, which contains his own reflections on ideas of race and eugenics. On the other hand, his notes were written during the period when he was Minister of the Interior and had a very close relationship with Corneliu Zelea Codreanu and the Legionary Movement. His notes also underline the most radical ideas ever conceived by the famous Romanian politician. The reflections of the „Black Diary” were sketched somewhere in the 1920s, when eugenics appeared in Romania.
