Résumé
: Mindsets and perceptions across Europe : Karl Gustaf Idman’s portray of Romanian corruption in the 1930s. This article deals with the mindsets and perceptions of a Finnish envoy concerning the malpractices, misconducts and corruption of the Romanian society. It starts from the premise that mindsets, perceptions and stereotypes can play an important role not only in the everyday or casual encounters between nationals of different ethnic background, but can also influence to some extent the forging of the relations between nations and countries. The article is based on the careful analyse of Karl Gustaf Idman’s diplomatic reports to Hesinki found in the Finnish archives. The findings are referred to Rasma Karklins’s typology of the acts of corruption.
