In contextul revolutiei europene s-au ivit conditii favorabile pentru a aduce in atentia continentului problema romaneasca, cantonata de mai multa vreme intr-un con de umbra. Ca $i in alte imprejurari de-a lungul istoriei si de aceasta data soarta natiunii a depins de jocul politic al marilor puteri, de natura relatiilor dintre ele, de echilibrul politic, de evolutia problemei orientale". Suzeranitatea Portii si protectoratul Rusiei, ambele realitati ale Europei primei jumatati a secolului al XIX-lea, ale ordinii stabilite de marile puteri, nu puteau suferi atingeri fare implicatii asupra echilibrului politic si a numeroaselor interese ce legau Intre ele marile puteri. Pentru Principatele romane, respectarea suzeranitatii otomane era importante numai in masura in care ea era in conformitate cu dorinta Europei, punandu-le astfel Ia adapost de eventuale actiuni expansioniste ale Rusiei, posibilesirealizabile in conditiile unei desprinderi de Imperiul Otoman. Supuse controlului politic direct al Imperiului Otoman si Rusiei dupa infrangerea sangeroasa a revolutiei de la 1848, Tara Romaneasca si Moldova ramaneau sub dubla ocupatie militara. Situatia avea sa se agraveze dupa ce la presiunile Rusiei, sultanul a fost nevoit sa cedeze si sa ajunga la o intelegere (Balta Liman) privind masuri extraordinare si eficace", menite a face fata tulburarilor revolutionare si anarhice". Ambele puteri au cautat, prin reprezentantii for sa se amestece Intr -o forma sau alta in treburile interne, fie prin impunerea unor masuri si decizii, fie prin Intretinerea unui climat de suspiciune una fata de cealalta privind viitorul Principatelor. Atitudinea relativ pasiva a puterilor europene in timpul revolutiei de la 1848 si in perioada imediat urmatoare fata de sud-estul Europei a fost interpretata de Rusia drept o incurajare indirecta a planurilor sale privind dezmembrarea Imperiului Otoman. Propunerile repetate in acest sens si tendinta tot mai manifests a tarului de a ingloba Principatele avea sa le aduca pe acestea din nou, la Inceputul anilor '50, in prim planul politicii continentului. Disputa dintre tarul Nicolae I si Poarta privind problema Locurilor Sfinte, amplificata de refuzul Constantinopolului, Incurajat de Marea Britanie si Franta, de a negocia soarta crestinilor din imperiu cu trimisul tarului, printul Alexandr Sergheevici Mensikov, a redeschis in alt registru chestiunea orientala. Dorind sa dea o lectie puterii otomane, tarul a decis sa is In gaj" cele doua tari romane pans Ia primirea unei solutii favorabile. La 21 iunie/3iulie 1853 trupele rusesti treceau Prutul, indreptandu-se spre Bucuresti unde aveau sa ajunga la 3/15 iulie. Refuzul categoric al Portii de a ceda a dus la declansarea ostilitatilor in octombrie 1853. Aparent disputa era Intre Rusia $i Imperiul Otoman, in realitate ea implica Intreaga politica si diplomatie europeana si a avut consecinte asupra intereselor marilor puteri. Prin participarea Frantei si Angliei de partea Portii, razboiul Crimeii a devenit un conflict de anvergura europeana, ce a angrenat forte umane si materiale importante, a adus modificari tacticii si tehnicii de Iupta prin impunerea razboiului de pozitii in detrimentul celui de manevra, a armamentului modern, a relevat insemnatatea transportului pe calea ferata a trupelor si materialelor, dar si superioritatea navelor cu abur si a dat not valente informatiei prin aparitia corespondentilor si reporterilor de razboi si acreditarea for pe langa 5 www.dacoromanica.ro fortele ce se confruntau pe campul de lupta, ceea ce a dat un plus de autentic si veridicitate marturiilor epocii. Totodata, prin aria diversa de confruntare, de la lupte terestre, incepute pe malurile Dunarii la Cetate, Calafat, Oltenita, continuate in Dobrogea si in jurul orasului Varna, mutate apoi in Crimeea si Caucaz, la confruntari navale in Marea Neagra, Marea Baltica, Marea Alba si Extremul Orient, razboiul Crimeii capata aproape proportiile unui conflict mondial"'. La aceasta se adauga $i numarul mare de oameni, civili si militari, care au avut de suferit sub o forma sau alta sau au participat efectiv. Luate in gaj", in iulie 1853, Principatele romane s-au aflat sub ocupatie ruseasca pans in vara anului urmator cand, prin conventia de la Boiacikoy, Austria a obligat Rusia sa-si retraga trupele, locul acestora fiind luat de cele otomane, conduse initial de Omer pasa si apoi de Mehmed Sadyk Pa.a (pe numele adevarat Michael Czajkowski), un polonez trecut la islamism si de cele austriece, conduse de contele Johann Baptist von Coronini-Cronberg, situatie care se va prelungi pans la sfarsitul razboiului, chiar pans Ia inceputul anului 1857 in cazul austriecilor. Noua dubla ocupatie a fost la fel de paguboasa pentru romani ca si cea ruseasca, fiind marcata de abuzuri si brutalitati Ia adresa populatiei, ceea ce a dus la o stare de tensiune. In pofida tuturor acestor greutati, cei doi domni, Barbu Stirbei in Tara Romanesca si Grigore Al. Ghica in Moldova, reveniti in tara in septembrie, respectiv, noiembrie 1854 dupa retragerea impusa de declasarea conflictului, au continuat opera de reformare a tarn. Modemizarea ireversibilka societatii romanesti a insemnat eliminarea robiei si adoptarea de legi in spiritul european. In acest sens s-au facut primele demersuri in directia constituirii unui sistem bancar prin incercarea, esuata, de creare a unei banci cu capital strain, s-au facut pasi decisivi in directia modemizarii sistemului judiciar prin reorganizarea Inaltei Curti in Tara Romanesca si numirea de judecatori numai cu studii juridice in Moldova, au fost luate masuri in vederea aducerii armatei la standardele timpului prin achizitii de armament si munitie, prin pregatirea temeinica in scoli speciale a cadrelor militare. Totodata au inregistrat progrese infrastructura, prin constructia de drumuri, comunicatiile prin instalarea de linii de telegraf, iar in domeniul edilitar-urbanistic a fost extinsa si modemizata reteaua stradala a unor orase, au fost constuite sau amenajate not teatre, parcuri, s-au facut pa.i importanti in iluminatul public. In domeniul invatamantului de o atentie deosebit s-au bucurat scolile de la sate, unnarindu-se in paralel si consolidarea ciclului mediu la orase, bazele puse acum au permis peste cativa ani nasterea invatamantul superior romanesc. Razboiul Crimeii si cursul evenimentelor au avut urmari faste asupra statutului international al Principatelor romane, Rusia find obligata, initial, sa adere de principiu la garantia comuna a puterilor europene asupra crestinilor din imperiu si mai apoi sa renunte la pretentiileasupra acestora.ProtectoratulPrincipatelor romane afostabolit pe cale diplomatica, iar in decembrie 1854 pentru prima data acestea au fost plasate sub garantia colectiva a puterilor europene. Bazele statutului international al Principatelor au fost puse la Conferinta reprezentantilor Austriei, Frantei, Marii Britanii si Imperiului Otoman de Ia Constantinopol din ianuariefebruarie 1856 printr-un protocol referitor la organizarea for interns. Potrivit acestuia, Regulamentul organic inceteaza de a mai fi lege fundamentals, Principatele continuau sa se bucure de vechile imunitati $i privilegii, iar Poarta isi mentinea suzeranitatea asupra lor, find considerate

    Russian Military Culture during the Reigns of Catherine II and Paul I, 1762-1801 by Eugene Miakinkov A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©Eugene Miakinkov, 2015 Abstract This study explores the shape and development of military culture during the reign of Catherine II. Next to the institutions of the autocracy and the Orthodox Church, the military occupied the most important position in imperial Russia, especially in the eighteenth century. Rather than analyzing the military as an institution or a fighting force, this dissertation uses the tools of cultural history to explore its attitudes, values, aspirations, tensions, and beliefs. Patronage and education served to introduce a generation of young nobles to the world of the military culture, and expose it to its values of respect, hierarchy, subordination, but also the importance of professional knowledge. Merit is a crucial component in any military, and Catherine’s military culture had to resolve the tensions between the idea of meritocracy and seniority. All of the above ideas and dilemmas were expressed in a number of military texts that began to appear during Catherine’s reign. It was during that time that the military culture acquired the cultural, political, and intellectual space to develop – a space I label the “military public sphere”. This development was most clearly evident in the publication, by Russian authors, of a range of military literature for the first time in this era. The military culture was also reflected in the symbolic means used by the senior commanders to convey and reinforce its values in the army.

    Vol 10, No. 1 International Journal of Research in Arts and Social Sciences THE RUSSIA NEEDS THE WEST FOR SOME TIME, AFTER WHICH IT SHALL TURN ITS BACK TO IT: VLADIMIR PUTIN FULFILLING PETER THE GREAT’S PROPHESY Akin Ademuyiwa University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria Abstract There is no doubt that the all-time powerful Russian Tsar, Peter the Great was the architect of the Russian Empire by his exploits in opening up the once landlocked empire to be closer to Europe through his conquests , such as Asov campaign and many others, his westernization policy also ensured that Russians imbibed some western culture. In spite of the fact that virtually all his teachers, shipbuilders and others were westerners, he was not unmindful of Russia’s distinct culture and ways of life, hence his famous exhortation that ―Russia needs the west for some time, after which it shall turn its back to it‖ This paper attempts to link the prediction of Peter the Great with the present Russia involvement in the Crimea and its subsequent annexation, the ongoing Ukrainian skirmishes, and its attendant economic sanctions imposed on Russia by the western powers. Data will be gathered from archival materials, dedicated internet sources and periodicals. The paper concludes that Russia increasingly would work more closely with Asian nations, starve off the excruciating effects of the economic sanctions thus fulfilling the aged long prediction of Peter the Great. Key words: Peter the Great, the Crimea, Culture, Ukraine, annexation Introduction From the Ashes of Kievan-Rus Emerged the Russian Empire Several scholars have argued that the Russian Empire emerged from the ashes of Kievan- Rus, A medieval European state; Kievan-Rus was founded in 882AD by Prince Oleg.

The Monument Question in Late Habsburg Austria A Critical Introduction to Max Dvořák’s Denkmalpflege Jonathan Blower Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2012 Abstract The present thesis is a critical introduction to a body of writings on heritage conservation by the Czech-born art historian Max Dvořák (1874–1921). From 1905 onwards, Dvořák was both professor of art history at the University of Vienna and Conservator General at the state institution responsible for heritage conservation in Austria: the ‘Royal and Imperial Central Commission for the Research and Preservation of Artistic and Historical Monuments’ (est. 1850). His published and archival texts on the subject are presented here for the first time in English translation. In this sense, the thesis follows the model of existing scholarship on the visual arts in Vienna around 1900, namely the combined English translations and critical introductions to the writings of Camillo Sitte (Collins & Collins, 1986), Otto Wagner (Mallgrave, 1988) and Alois Riegl (Forster & Ghirardo, 1982).

    Istoria Familiei Ghica

    ISTORIE 235 ISTORIA FAMILIEI GHICA Gabriel Constantin Abstract: Our study has as main goal to present the history of Ghica’s family, that came on Wallachia and Moldavia in the 17th century and which gave to these contries a lot of rulers and personalities who stood out in different and numerous fields of activity. Key words: Wallachia, Moldavia, Ghica, Russia, Ottoman Empire Familia Ghica își are origini albaneze și a sosit în secolul al XVII-lea în Țara Românescă și Moldova. Între anii 1658-1856 a dat în cele două țări române zece domni, dar și foarte multe personalități care s-au remarcat pe plan politic și cultural. Deși au avut origini străine, Ghiculeștii s-au împământenit treptat atât în Țara Românească, cât și în Moldova și s-au identificat cu interesele țării lor. Astfel îi aflăm implicați în revoluția de la 1848-1849, susținând ideile de emancipare politică și socială, în sprijinirea Unirii din anul 1859 precum și în aducerea prințului străin. Membrii familiei Ghica au fost susținători ai dezvoltării învățământului modern românesc preum și ai artelor și literaturii din pozițiile înalte pe care le-au deținut, fie la Academia Română, fie la conducerea Teatrului Național. Unul dintre ultimii descendenți ai Ghiculeștilor a pierit în temnițele comuniste, constituind un reper în ceea ce privește apărarea și respectarea valorilor morale pe care această familie le-a cultivat de-a lungul istoriei sale. Gheorghe Ghica (1600-1664). Domn al Moldovei (3/13 martie-2/12 noiembrie 1659); domn al Țării Românești ( 20/30 noiembrie 1659-26 aprilie/6 mai 1660; 21/31 mai-1/11 septembrie 1660).
