A historical outline Octavian Buda1, Sorin Hostiuc2,*, Eduard Drima3, Laura Ghebaur4, Ionuţ Popescu5, Laurenţiu Staicu6, Corina Doboş7 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: This historical note focuses on the development of psychiatry and forensic expertise in Bucharest between c. 1840 and 1910 under the influence of the European Schools of Medicine of the time. During the 19th century, psychiatry became part of a larger medical agenda, which included the establishment of public and private hospitals and asylums, public health reforms and social legislation for the protection of mentally ill, family planning and ultimately law regulations regarding forensic psychiatry. To date, the history of Romanian psychiatry and forensic medicine in Romania has been neglected, although it proves very resourceful for the understanding the complex relationship between science, political ideals and national contexts, both at a regional and international level. This note provides an insight into the inception of modern psychiatry institutions and scientific advances in Romania, and to the medically trained personalities in Bucharest and Eastern European medicine.

    5 THE SUPREME CONTROL ORGANS IN ROMANIA* RICHARD SZAWLOWSKI Professor of International Law, The Polish University, London I. The Past United Romania was, to a great extent, a product of the defeat of Russia in the Crimean War. Previously two separate Duchies, Vallachia and Moldavia, both Russian protectorates (but still having to pay a tribute to the Ottoman Empire), existed on that territory. Russian troops were stationed there until 1851 (and occupied Romanian territory again in 1853/54), and quashed all na- tional and liberal movements. But the newly-emerged united Romanian Duchy (1862) was not fully sover- eign either; it was a collective protectorate of the five big powers and Sar- dinia.' Full sovereignty was achieved only in 1878, by the Treaty of Berlin, after the Russo-Turkish war, when Serbia and Montenegro were also given independence and Bulgaria was established as an autonomous Duchy. The Kingdom of Romania was proclaimed in 1881. 1. The first supreme control (audit) institution on Romanian soil existed in Vallachia already in the 1830s. The Regulamentul organic of that Duchy of 1831,2 Art.136, created, starting with 1 January 1832, an organ called Natio- nal Control, composed of a Chief of Control, two desk chiefs, and the needed secretaries. Its task was to help the ordinary National Assembly in its ex- amination of the management of all the revenues and expenditures of the country. This National Control, very frequently referred to simply as Con- trol, was later - in the fifties - transformed into a Department of Control, but still sometimes referred to as National Control.

  • Ion Heliade Radulescu in the Romanian Revolution of 1848*
    VASILE MACIU (Bucharest, Romania) Ion Heliade Radulescu in the Romanian Revolution of 1848* The revolution of 1848 was an outstanding moment in the life of the Ro- manian people: Never before had Romanians so decisively risen with a view to achieve national and social freedom. The revolution's aim was to overthrow the old disintegrating feudal social order and to establish a new bourgeois order like that in England and France. Moreover, Romanians wanted to be freed from foreign domination, to be united in a national independent state, and to see revolutionary ideas spread in Eastern Europe. In order to accom- plish this daring program, the revolution of 1848 marshaled all the national political forces-the masses and their leaders-who sacrificed themselves for the common cause. A One leader of the revolution in Wallachia was Ion Heliade Radulescu-com- monly known as Eliade. A member of the bourgeoisie, he embodied the inter- ests of his social class. But he also had significant views on the progress and possibilities of the Romanian nation. Bom in 1802, Eliade grew up in a period of political unrest and social contradictions throughout the Danubian princi- palities as well as in the Romanian regions of Habsburg Austria. He acquired a rich political experience and conducted significant cultural activities, and his reputation as a leading intellectual as well as his popularity served him well in the cause of the revolution. Eliade began his studies at the prince's academy in Bucharest. Here he encountered the ideas of the French encyclopaedists: -. He was also fascinated by the Daco-Roman thesis of the Transylvanian teacher Gheorghe Lazar.

  • Universitatea Din Bucureşti
    Romanoslavica vol. XLVI, nr. 3 GHEORGHE ASACHI ŞI CĂLĂTORIA SA ÎN RUSIA (1830) Radu MÂRZA Gheorghe Asachi (1788-1869) is one of the best-known Romanian men of culture from the first half of the nineteenth century. He is known for his literary and journalistic activity as well as his contribution to the organization of the Romanian higher education system. However, his political activity is less known. Asachi was one of the artisans and leading figures of the Organic Regulations regime, introduced in Moldavia by the Russian occupation regime beginning with 1830. In 1830 he traveled to Sankt Petersburg in his capacity as secretary of the committee that drafted the Organic Regulation for Moldavia. Following this trip, he published a travel diary entitled Estract din jurnalul unui călători moldovean [Excerpt from the Diary of a Moldavian Traveler] in the „Albina românească” newspaper (1830). The present article discusses this diary and argues that Asachi presents Russia as a model of development and civilization and as an alternative to the traditional cultural models that were prevalent in the Romanian society at the time (the French and German models). One should connect Asachi’s image of Russia to the propagandistic effort of the Russian authorities to improve the image of the country in the Romanian Principalities. Key words: Gheorghe Asachi, modernisation, Russia, travelers, cultural models, neologisms in Romanian Scăparea noastră vine de la Nord. Totul ne leagă de Rusia; ea e mama noastră1. Comparativ cu primele decenii postbelice, cercetările româneşti cu privire la legăturile culturale şi istorice ale spaţiului nostru cu Rusia s-au redus în ultima perioadă, dar pot fi menţionate preocupări pentru legăturile lui Dimitrie Cantemir cu Rusia, intervenţia rusă în revoluţia de la 1848 din Principate etc.

  • Dismantling the Ottoman Heritage? the Evolution of Bucharest in the Nineteenth Century
    Dismantling the Ottoman Heritage? The Evolution of Bucharest in the Nineteenth Century Emanuela Costantini Wallachia was part of the Ottoman Empire for nearly four centuries. Together with Moldova, the other Danubian principality, it maintained strong autonomy, as well as its own institutions, such as the position of voivoda (prince). The particular position of Wallachia in the Ottoman Empire is reflected by the peculiar aspect of Bucharest in the early nineteenth century. The Romanian scholars who studied the history of Bucharest, Ionescu-Gion and Pippidi, did not call it an Ottoman town. Maurice Cerasi, author of a very important study of Ottoman towns,1 has another viewpoint, and actually locates Bucharest at the boundaries of the Ottoman area. This means that Bucharest is not frequently taken as an example of typical Ottoman towns, but is sometimes mentioned as sharing some features with them. The evolution of Bucharest is one of the best instances of the ambiguous relationship existing between the Romanian lands and the Ottoman Empire. Moldova and Wallachia lacked the most evident expressions of Ottoman rule: there were no mosques, no Muslims, no timar system was implemented in these areas. But, on a less evident but deeper level, local culture and local society were rooted in the Ottoman way of life and displayed some of its main features: the absence of a centralized bureaucracy, the strong influence of the Greek commercial and bureaucratic elite of the Ottoman Empire, the phanariotes2 and a productive system based on agriculture and linked to the Ottoman state through a monopoly on trade. Bucharest was an example of this complex relationship: although it was not an Ottoman town, it shared many aspects with towns in the Ottoman area of influence.

  • 1837–1841 EARLY DIPLOMATIC VENTURES on 20 July 1837, A
    1837–1841 EARLY DIPLOMATIC VENTURES On 20 July 1837, a number of deputies in the National Assembly of Wallachia, among whom the elder Brătianu – father to two of this book’s protagonists – rejected what they regarded as an infamous ‘additional article’ of the Russian-sponsored Organic Statutes (1831– 32). The article required the Wallachian assembly to seek Russian and Ottoman authorisation for any change to the Statutes, the country’s earliest modern and highly controversial quasi-constitutional charter.32 One of the rebel deputies, Ion Câmpineanu, an early champion of the unification of the two Principalities and of independence from Turkey, visited Paris and, more unusually for a Romanian in 1839, London, where he worked closely with the Polish émigrés to arouse concern over Russian expansionism in Western chancelleries. He met Lord Palmerston himself, and was given well-meaning reassurances that “the moment is not far when Europe will decide to take measures against Russia’s actions in the East and at that point his memoranda and reports will be given serious consideration.”33 Unfortunately for Câmpineanu’s objectives, his visit to London could not have come at a worse time. 1839 marked a shift in British political attitudes to Rus- sia, from an often vaguely-defined distrust to a more positive, prag- matic cultivation of relations with the Eastern empire in the interests of the European balance of power. Anglo-Russian clashes of interest in Central Asia, especially in Afghanistan, and the Near Eastern crisis provoked by the rebel Pasha of Egypt, Mehmet Ali, had persuaded the Foreign Secretary and the Whig cabinet that the only way to contain Russia and pre-empt the growth of her influence in Constantinople, 32 These documents are also known in the historical literature as the Organic Reg- ulations or as the Règlement Organique.

Stirred by liberal values imparted by Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815), many Western Europeans began to actively protest the imbalance ​ of power in traditional, feudalistic hierarchies. One key facet of this revolutionary fervor was an increased effort to abolish traditional practices of slavery, which were seen by an expanding audience as abhorrent and shameful. These widespread trends of social reformation reached the Danubian Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia (a section of current day Romania) in the early 1800s.

  • Statistica Ţiganilor În Principatele Române În Perioada 1830–1860
    STATISTICA ŢIGANILOR ÎN PRINCIPATELE ROMÂNE ÎN PERIOADA 1830–1860 VENERA ACHIM Discutarea locului pe care ţiganii (robii) l-au avut în economia Principatelor Române şi a aspectelor economice ale procesului de dezrobire din deceniile cinci şi şase ale secolului al XIX-lea presupune cunoaşterea numărului total al acestei populaţii în ansamblu şi al diferitelor sale grupuri1. Din păcate, situaţia statisticii în principate în perioada 1830-1860 face dificilă o astfel de abordare de natură demografică. În epoca de care ne ocupăm aici nu au fost făcute recensăminte şi nici conscripţii riguroase ale populaţiei, de felul celor din Transilvania sau din alte provincii ale Imperiului habsburgic, ceea ce face ca numărul populaţiei principatelor şi mai cu seamă cel al ţiganilor (robilor) să fie greu de stabilit. 1. Consideraţii asupra statisticii în Principatele Române în perioada 1830-1860 Până la înfiinţarea secţiilor speciale de statistică în cadrul Departamentelor Treburilor din Lăuntru, prin Regulamentul organic (1831/1832), nu putem vorbi de lucrări cu caracter statistic în Principatele Române2. Sămile (termen vechi, folosit pentru înregistrările de populaţie din secolul al XV-lea) sau catagrafiile (sinonimul modern, utilizat încă în prima jumătate a secolului al XIX-lea, fiind şi el treptat înlocuit de actualul recensământ) răspundeau unor necesităţi administrativ-fiscale, militare sau religioase. Din acest motiv nu se efectuau periodic, ci atunci când era nevoie, ca de exemplu la începutul unei noi domnii, pentru a se stabili categoriile contribuabile şi a se verifica apartenenţa la categoriile privilegiate. Generale (înregistrând toţi birnicii) sau speciale (privind o anumită categorie socială), catagrafiile erau reduse la liste nominale de contribuabili, privilegiaţi, recruţi, enoriaşi etc.
