Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1980, 2005, 2006, 2008—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1980-05-27. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Bogdan, Barbu and Romanian providing the first useful test.
