  • CONSTANTIN ARGETOIANU GLIMPSES on HIS LIFE Elena
    CONSTANTIN ARGETOIANU GLIMPSES ON HIS LIFE Elena-Mirela Ciuchea Rezumat: Autoarea – pornind de la cercetarea unor informaţii inedite din arhivele craiovene ale familiei Argetoianu, de la memoriile omului politic şi de la ceea ce s-a scris până la această dată – reconstituie principalele momente şi componente ale formării şi afirmării lui Constantin Argetoianu. Anii de studiu, mediul familial, prietenii, aptitudinile, posibilităţile şi disponibilităţile intelectuale, trăsăturile de caracter, interesul pentru studiu şi pasiunea pentru limbile străine, intrarea şi afirmarea în viaţa politică, contextul mai larg al epocii interbelice etc. sunt câteva din aspectele semnificative, decisive ale vieţii, activităţii şi personalităţii sale, pe care le rezumă acest articol. The interwar period in Romania had its political men presented either as “martyrs” of the nation or like some common thieves, forgetting that when it comes to Mother Nature, only few things keep their white or black nuance, everything maintaining rich varied grey nuances … because otherwise the world would be bored, isn’t it? Maniu hasn’t been too nice. Why? His Jesuit face made many people stay aside…still the same “sobriety” didn’t prevent him from washing his hands in a Pillatian way from things on which his whole life philosophy was based on. A lot more likable, but extremely controversial was Constantin Argetoianu, the chameleon of the interwar Romanian politics, the man that managed to show how easy it was to pass from bitter hatred to friendship and admiration, all depending on the interest. This Oltenian boyar, loved and admired by many, hated and sworn by more, tried with the use of some delicious “Memories” to exculpate him in front of history and time.

Mi s‑a părut necesară respectarea întocmai a manuscrisului, tipărit aici pentru prima oară, cu particulari‑ tăţi care ţin de perioada istorică în care s‑a format grafia auto‑ rului, deci anii din jurul lui 1890, după cum se poate constata şi în autografe ale sale care nu erau destinate tiparului (scrisori personale, de familie). Aşadar persistă până la sfârşitul vieţii unele forme dialectale moldoveneşti (mâni sau mâne = mâine, amiezi = amiază) sau o pronunţie păstrată din secolul al XIX‑lea, ca diferenţa la pronumele relativ între sg. care şi pl. cari, supt = sub, aceia = aceea, ceia ce = ceea ce, aceiaşi = aceeaşi. Din aceeași epocă datează numele lunilor anului: decembre, novem‑ bre, octombre, septembre, sau mart, april.

  • Nicolae Filipescu Şi Idealul Naţional Stefan Silviu Ciobanu Perioada Cea
    III.PERSONALITĂŢI BUCUREŞTENE Reflecţii asupra vieţii lui Nioclae Filipescu - Nicolae Filipescu şi idealul naţional Stefan Silviu Ciobanu Perioada cea mai importantă din cariera politică a lui Nicolae Filipescu o reprezintă fără îndoială aceea în care acţiunile· sale s-au îndreptat spre realizarea idealului naţional. Visul său era acela ca cel puţin Transilvania să se alăture Vechiului Regat şi să cuprindă astfel între graniţele aceluiaşi stat pe românii care până atunci fuseseră obligaţi să trăiască sub organizarea administrativă a altor state, fără să beneficieze de drepturile ce li se cuveneau ca cetăţeni ai acelor state. Privirea sa va fi cu precădere îndreptată spre Transilvania, legăturile sale cu elita românească de acolo fiind unele foarte bune. O personalitate importantă a elitei româneşti transilvănene din această perioadă cu care Nicolae Filipescu avea legături strânse era Octavian Goga, cel pe care Nicolae Filipescu îl va sprijini în demersurile sale atât material cât şi spiritual, lucru ce îl va face pe Octavian Goga să afirme despre el la un moment dat că „ a întrupat însuşirile rezumative ale unei rase". 136 La data atentatului de la Sarajevo, care a fost de altfel picătura care a umplut paharul, evenimentul care a aruncat în aer ordinea din relaţiile internaţionale declanşând războiul, Nicolae Filipescu se afla în străinătate. În timpul petrecut în străinătate a vizitat şi Germania, mai mult el avusese şansa de a vedea armata germană. Ajuns în ţară îi mărturiseşte lui Constantin Argetoianu la Sinaia: „ mi-e frică de un nou '70: armata asta nu poate fi bătută„.Ce ne facem?" Sub pretext de fost ministru de război al României el se plimbase prin toată Germania de la Baden Baden la Berlin şi de la Berlin la Viena ca să vadă cum se făcea mobilizarea şi să ia contact cu armata Kaizerului.

  • Omanian Diplomats in the Scandinavian Countries R (1916-1947)
    Revista Română de Studii Baltice și Nordice / The Romanian Journal for Baltic and Nordic Studies, ISSN 2067-1725, Vol. 6, Issue 2 (2014): pp. 147-167 OMANIAN DIPLOMATS IN THE SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES R (1916-1947) Adrian Vițalaru ‘Alexandru Ioan Cuza’ University of Iassy, Faculty of History, E-mail: [email protected] Acknowledgements This paper is based on the presentation made at the Fifth international conference on Baltic and Nordic Studies in Romania A piece of culture, a culture of peace, re-imaging European communities in the North Sea, Baltic Sea and Black Sea regions, hosted by Valahia University of Târgovişte and the Romanian Association for Baltic and Nordic Studies, August 17-19, 2014.

A Multi-regional Research Network. Abstract: The main object of the present paper is to introduce the diplomats sent to represent the Romanian state in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki and Oslo, as heads of diplomatic missions. Did they have professional or human connections with the Nordic states? Were they moved from one legation in the Scandinavian world to another? In other words, were they specialists in Scandinavian matters? Were the Nordic states a professional attraction /a trampoline in the career of Romanian diplomats or were they `quiet` diplomatic missions, marginal in importance, less attractive to diplomats? In my attempt to provide an answer to these questions I found that most of those who took turns as head of legation in the Scandinavian countries had not previously been trained at the same missions.

  • Iuliu Maniu and Corneliu Zelea Codreanu Against King Carol
    Reluctant Allies? Iuliu Maniu and Corneliu Zelea Codreanu against King Carol II of Romania Introduction Iuliu Maniu is today regarded as the principle upholder of democratic and constitutional propriety in interwar Romania. As leader of the Romanian National Peasant Party throughout much of the interwar period and the Second World War, he is generally considered to have tried to steer Romania away from dictatorship and towards democracy. Nevertheless, in 1947 Maniu was arrested and tried for treason together with other leaders of the National Peasant Party by the communist authorities. The charges brought against Maniu included having links to the ‘terrorist’ and fascist Romanian Legionary movement (also known as the Iron Guard). The prosecutors drew attention not only to the entry of former legionaries into National Peasant Party organizations in the autumn of 1944, but also to Maniu’s electoral non- aggression pact of 1937 with the Legionary movement’s leader, Corneliu Zelea Codreanu. The pact had been drawn up to prevent the incumbent National Liberal government manipulating the elections of December 1937. Maniu had subsequently acted as defence a witness at Codreanu’s trial in 1938. 1 Since the legionaries were regarded by the communists as the agents of Nazism in Romania, Maniu was accordingly accused of having encouraged the growth of German influence and fascism in Romania.2 Maniu was sentenced to life imprisonment and died in Sighet prison in 1953. Possibly no single act of Maniu’s interwar career was more condemned within Romanian communist historiography than his electoral pact with the allegedly Nazi- 1 Marcel-Dumitru Ciucă (ed.), Procesul lui Iuliu Maniu, Documentele procesului conducătorilor Partidului Naţional Ţărănesc, 3 volumes, Bucharest, 2001, vol.

One of the organizers of the event, Matthew Heimbach, wore a shirt depicting Corneliu Codreanu.2 Codreanu was the charismatic founder, and to some extent heart and soul, of the Legion of the Archangel Michael (LAM), or the Iron Guard, as it was frequently referred to in the English speaking world,the main fascist force in Romanian politics

  • Images of Town Life in the Writings of Ion Călugăru, Isac Peltz and Ury Benador
    Romanica Cracoviensia 12 / 2012 10.4467/20843917RC.12.020.0737 Gabriela Gavril-Antonesei Alexandru Ioan Cuza University Iaşi IMAGES OF TOWN LIFE IN THE WRITINGS OF ION CĂLUGĂRU, ISAC PELTZ AND URY BENADOR. ASPECTS OF THEIR RECEPTION1 CONTEXT Isac Peltz, Ion Călugăru, Ury Benador – and other important writers, particularly M. Sebastian, who will not be discussed in this paper, though – published their most representative work in the fourth decade of the last century. At the time, Romania faced a strong surge of nationalistic political movements, which led to multiplied and intensified anti-Semitic acts. More and more voices of the time2 – among them some public figures of a rather liberal line, and representatives of the church – were requesting the “cleansing” of Romania of its Jews and even the review and annulment of the citizenship granted to them in 1923. Under the party name of “Totul pentru Ţară” (“Everything for the Country”), the Garda de Fier (Iron Guard) obtained in the 1937 elections 16.5% of the votes of the electorate, thus becoming the third political power in the country. When the PNC (Goga-Cuza) government came to power in 1937, they imposed an anti-Semitic legislation that deprived more than 200 000 Jews of their civil rights.3 The media campaigns for a “Romanisation” of society – as pursued by Pamfil Şeicaru in Curentul, Nicolae Iorga in Cuget clar and Neamul Românesc – are proof that the anti-Semitic ideas and language were common in many circles.4 In December 1 A version of this paper was presented at the Conference “I Am a Romanian: the Bucharest – Tel Aviv Route”, organized by The Romanian Cultural Institute in Tel Aviv, in partnership with the “Ben Gurion” University in Beer Sheva, 29.03–1.04.2011.

Introduction Looking back across Romania‟s twentieth century, Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran once said: "Some countries are blessed with a sort of grace: everything works for them, even their misfortunes and their catastrophes. There are others for whom nothing succeeds and whose very triumphs are but failures. When they try to assert themselves and take a step forward, some external fate intervenes to break their momentum and return them to their starting point."1 Interestingly enough, this particular concept of fate has always been part of socio-political discourse in Romania. Often times the focus shifted towards the benefits of a suprastate, mirrored by what is often called a Romanian inability for decision- making. The idea of the impossibility for Romanians to make their own decisions and determine their own fate has, in fact, become a national cliché as of late.

  • THE ROMANIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY in the 1990'S
    32 Romanian Journal of Political Science THE ROMANIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY IN THE 1990’s Bogdan Murgescu∗ Abstract The quantity and quality of Romanian historians work improved seriously after the fall of communism. Altough the new generation of historians, historians that borrowed the know-how from the West, have to face many obstacles, the battle is not lost already. The battle between those who want to revive the “grand-narrative” from communism and those who are trying to deconstruct some unfounded myths is still on the scene. Ideological constraints and political active involvement in sustaining the “grand-narrative” are serious obstacles for those trying to promote new methodological frameworks and debates. It seems that the state still holds the power to determine the official writers of Romanian history by encouraging a certain number of chosen historians to write a treaty under the aegis of Romanian Academy. Whatsoever, the deconstructivist generation managed to survive and their work to be appreciated by a serious number of intellectuals. Foreign grants are permitting nominal research and each historian can follow its own academic choice. Key words: grand-narrative, deconstructivism, reluctance to change, historian debate, mentalities ∗ Bogdan Murgescu, Ph.D. in history at the University of Bucharest and also a Roman Herzog Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Berlin . He is currently professor at the History Department of the University of Bucharest, and has been visiting professor also at the University of Pittsburgh.
