"Romanians are Latins surrounded by Hungarians and Slavs, marooned in the wrong part of Europe where they endure with surprise each year the bitterly cold winters."Every thing about this man is described as paradoxical. He has a very romantic, but macabre aura around him. Romania is very human-like, but when in written details, give abstract and sometimes cloudy first principles. Despite this, he can be astonishingly cruel and malicious; To the point where few have said:"Romanians have no gratitude and no mercy." Vladimir often tries hard to be cynical as people think he is, he is very romantic, but also, brutally unromantic at the same time. Romanians are more friendly than the English, but are more formal. Respect is terribly important – because power is terribly important. Romanians are very mystical yet have their feet on the ground. They are very other-worldly but are often materialistic.
