ESSAYS/ESSAIS TEFAN PASCU (Cluj, Romania) Independence ESSAYS/ESSAIS �TEFAN PASCU (Cluj, Romania) Independence: A Fundamental Characteristic in the History of the Romanian People An objective observer may clearly see the historic column which supports the national edifice of the Romanians and their land. Romanians are perma- nently tied to the land of their ancestors. Menacing clouds and tempestuous storms could not frighten them away from their homeland. Centuries of ex- perience confirmed the Romanian proverb that "water flows but pebbles stay put"; indeed, their past taught them that pebbles, cemented together, may form a powerful stronghold protecting both land and people. Strong and lasting ties between land and people preserved the Romanians' national existence. Their vigorous and passionate patriotism amazed outsiders unfamiliar with Romanian realities. Recurrent migrations could not supplant either the Dacian substratum or the Roman stratum. The Daco-Romans be- came Romanians, who inhabited all the land which they tilled with their sweat and defended with their blood. Ties between land and people explain the Romanians' firmness in maintain- ing and defending their national being against many covetous and malevolent foes and invaders. This firmness assured independence and internal harmony. With tenacious courage they repeatedly faced invading armies from the fourth century to 1944. Soldiers, led by brave men, demonstrated temerity when called from their ploughs and machines. Only people fused with the land on which they live, who have preserved and valiantly defended their national being, could then display such unusual temerity in winning liberty, social and national equality, and political independence. Four ideas and ideals-equality, liberty, independence, and unity-constitute a red thread in the fabric of the Romanians' history. They are permanences of this history--generating one another, together forming the backbone of the national body, and synthesiz- ing past, present, and future. Equality cannot be understood without liberty, nor can one imagine independence without equality and liberty;nor can unity be achieved without liberty, equality, and independence. The entire thirteen centuries of Romanian history reveal a continuous struggle-crowned in the end by victory--for liberty, social and national equality, political independence of the state, and national unity. The permanences of Romanian history-equality, liberty, independence, 37 and unity-were founded on a powerful reality: the awareness of shared eth- nic, linguistic, cultural, and economic characteristics of the entire Romanian people. The common origin of the Romanians; the unity of their language, culture, and customs; the uninterrupted economic ties- during the Middle Ages-all of these circumstances generated an active national consciousness which in turn supported tendencies toward unity in the Romanians' pro- longed struggle for independence. For Romanians-descending from fearless Dacians and daring Romans, or- ganically tied to the land, tempered by the times, and deeply believing in their future-there is an obvious connection between resistance to oppression and consciousness of national rights. For liberty and independence Gelu and Menumorut, as well as Glad and Ahtum fought in Transylvania; Tatos, Sestlav, and Satza in Dobrogea during the tenth and eleventh centuries; the Boloho- vens and Brodnics in Moldavia between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries; Litovoi and Seneslau as well as Barbat in thirteenth-century Wallachia; Basar- ab and Bogdan for the independence of Wallachia and Moldavia respectively in the fourteenth century. The independence and liberty of the Romanian principalities were defended by Mircea cel Batnn, ?tefan Must, Dan II, Iancu of Hunedoara, Vlad Tepe§, 5tefan cel Mare, Pavel Chinezu, Radu de la Afu- mali, and Petru Rare§-at Rovine, at Hindov, at the Danube, at Sibiu and Bat- grad, at Tirgovi§te, Vaslui and Codrul Cosminului, C"lmpul Pnnii, Slefeni and Feldioara, and many more places. These inestimable deeds inspired other ef- forts, sacrifices, and struggles to regain independence: such as Ioan Voda cel Cumplit at Cahul and Ro§cani and especially Mihai Voda Viteazul at Cilugir- eni-Giurgiu, Selimbar, and Suceava. Other heroes, brave men, and memorable places illustrate the difficult progress toward liberty, equality, independence, and unity:Cantemir and Briricoveanu at Stinile§ti and Urlali; Horea and Tudor in the Apuseni mountains, at Fades and Tismana, in Bucure§ti and at Drigi§- ani ; in the pan-Romanian revolution of 1848; the union of the Romanian principalities in 1859; Romania's independence in 1877; the achievement of national union in 1918. Other names, other dates, and other happenings en- riched the historical spiral of the Romanian people. Liberty, equality, inde- pendence, and unity engraved themselves as beautiful bas-reliefs representing not only the heroes and leaders, but also the brave multitudes-the people, the real makers of history. Another characteristic of the Romanian people's struggle for equality, li- berty, independence, and unity is their active cooperation, with an impressive solidarity, in the historic provinces. The essential ethnic feature-the conscious- ness of a common national origin-explains the cohesiveness of the Romanian people_ and nation, transcending artificial boundaries separating Romanian principalities from territories under foreign occupation: Transylvania, Buco- vina, Bessarabia, and Dobrogea. The community of struggle for equality, li- berty, independence, and unity-alongside the community of territory, lan- .

Under the terms of the Paris Peace Treaty in 1921 it was annexed to the Serbo-Croat-Slovenian Kingdom, that later became Yugoslavia. The new name of this territory, situated to the east of present Croatia, was VOJVODINA (also spelled Voivodina or Voyvodina). Its former Hungarian name had been Bacska and Banat. During World War II, in 1941, Germany occupied Yugoslavia. At the same time, Hungary took possession of and re-annexed VOJVODINA from divided Yugoslavia.

    Conversion and Empire: Byzantine Missionaries, Foreign Rulers, and Christian Narratives (ca. 300-900) by Alexander Borislavov Angelov A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor John V.A. Fine, Jr., Chair Professor Emeritus H. Don Cameron Professor Paul Christopher Johnson Professor Raymond H. Van Dam Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes © Alexander Borislavov Angelov 2011 To my mother Irina with all my love and gratitude ii Acknowledgements To put in words deepest feelings of gratitude to so many people and for so many things is to reflect on various encounters and influences. In a sense, it is to sketch out a singular narrative but of many personal “conversions.” So now, being here, I am looking back, and it all seems so clear and obvious. But, it is the historian in me that realizes best the numerous situations, emotions, and dilemmas that brought me where I am. I feel so profoundly thankful for a journey that even I, obsessed with planning, could not have fully anticipated. In a final analysis, as my dissertation grew so did I, but neither could have become better without the presence of the people or the institutions that I feel so fortunate to be able to acknowledge here. At the University of Michigan, I first thank my mentor John Fine for his tremendous academic support over the years, for his friendship always present when most needed, and for best illustrating to me how true knowledge does in fact produce better humanity.

  • The Szeklers and Hungarians from Romania
    STUDIA UBB GEOGRAPHIA, LX, 2, 2015, pp. 53-68 (RECOMMENDED CITATION) THE SZEKLERS AND HUNGARIANS FROM ROMANIA GR. P. POP1, A. NIŢĂ1 ABSTRACT. – The Szeklers and Hungarians from Romania. This study regards, as its main topic, the possibility of establishing at present, a geodemographical entity on Romania’s territory, since certain representatives of the Hungarian ethnical minority in our country, and with a particular insistence of those in the vicinity of the western border, always remember to bring into view the problem of establishing an autonomy, common to a Székely Land, located in the central area of our country, which would include Mureş, Harghita and Covasna counties. Without carrying out a detailed account of this situation, it needs to be mentioned, just as it will emerge of the following presentation, that such an approach has neither the most reduced geodemographical support, since the Szeklers, after being assimilated by the Hungarian ethnic group, are no longer present at the census of 20 October 2011. By taking into account the above mentioned aspects, in order to be able to respond to the insistent requests for autonomy in Transylvania, we proceeded to highlight, through a fairly detailed approach of the Hungarian ethnical minority, obviously in point of the number of inhabitants and of their distribution on Romania’s territory, resulting of this the fact that the number of Hungarians is of 1,227,623 people, value which related to those 20,121,641 inhabitants of Romania, means 6.10%. The total number of mentioned Hungarians is characterized by a pronounced concentration on Romania’s territory, standing out by creating a corridor with a diagonal aspect, on the northwest- southeast direction, consisting of seven counties, the first four (Satu Mare, Bihor, Sălaj and Cluj) being registered with 2.01% (404,561 inhabitants) of those 6.10% Hungarians, the following three (Mureş, Harghita and Covasna) accounting for 3.03% (609,033 inhabitants), and hence in the corridor are present 5.04% (1,013,594 Hungarians) of 6.10% at the level of the entire country.

  • Dejan Radičević, Perica Špehar Some Remarks on Hungarian Conquest Period Finds
    ACTA ARCHAEOLOGICA CARPATHICA VOL. L, 2015 PL ISSN 0001-5229 Dejan RaDičević, PeRica ŠPehaR SOME REMARKS ON HUNGARIAN CONQUEST PERIOD FINDS IN VOJVODINA ABSTRACT D. Radičević, P. Špehar 2015. Some remarks on Hungarian Conquest Period Finds in Vojvodina, AAC 50: 137–162. The last reviews of sites and finds dated to the 10th and 11th centuries on the territory of modern Vojvodina were made quarter of century ago. Development of the methodology of archaeological investigations, re-examination of old and appearance of new sites and finds, as well as the ongo- ing evaluation of the results of archaeologically explored necropolis in Batajnica, all suggested the necessity for a work dedicated to the problem of colonization of Hungarians as well as to the analyses of the phenomena typical for that period in Serbian part of Banat, Bačka and Srem. K e y w o r d s: Hungarian Conquest Period; Vojvodina; Batajnica; soil inhabitation; necropolis; warrior graves; horseman graves Received: 13.04.2015; Revised: 29.05.2015; Revised: 17.08.2015; Revised: 31.08.2015; Accepted: 10.11.2015 INTRODUCTION In Serbian archaeology insufficient attention is dedicated to the problem of inhabitation of Hungarians as well as to the research of ancient Hungarian material culture1. The reason lies in the fact that the territory of modern Vojvodina, in the time of more intense archaeological explorations of sites dated to the discussed period, was part of the Habsburg Monarchy. Archaeological material was sent mostly to the museums in Szeged or Budapest, so it became primarily the subject of interest of Hungarian specialists.

  • Mircea Măran a Brief History of Romanians in the Serbian Banat
    Mircea Măran A Brief History of Romanians in the Serbian Banat Abstract: Romanian inhabitants live in nearly forty villages in that part of Banat which used to belong to the former state of Yugoslavia and which now belongs to the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, i.e. Republic of Serbia. The Romanian inhabitants were colonized in the area, i.e. in the space of contemporary Vojvodina, mostly in the 18th and the first decades of the 19th century from the eastern parts of Banat. A number of villages were inhabited by settlers from other parts of Romanian ethnic space, before all from Oltenia, Transilvania and Crişana. The newcomers were settled in the places existing since the Turkish, and even medieval times, while in some cases completely new settlements were established. After the World War I and the dismemberment of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Banat was divided between the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and Romania. The status of the Romanian minority in Banat was regulated by international contracts signed after the World War I, as well as by various Yugoslav-Romanian contracts. Therefore, conditions were created for the Romanian national minority in the Yugoslav (Serbian) Banat to exercise their national rights, which enabled their survival in the region to the present day. Today, the Romanian minority is found on the territory of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Despite their significant decrease in numbers, they still have a rich cultural life and are active in different domains of the society. They preserve their identity due to the existence of schools taught in the Romanian language, of the Romanian Orthodox Church, as well as due to national mass media that have program in the languages of the minorities as well.

  • Between Old and New Rome
    Jonas Thungren Lindbärg “A burdensome matter it is today to abandon the delicate and subtle customs of the Latin people, i.e. the Franks, and to return to the Between Old and New Rome dullness of the old Armenians.” Thus wrote the Armenian archbishop Nerses, not without a hint of Armenian and Bulgarian Contacts with the Papacy around 1204 sarcasm, when defending his endeavour to unite the Armenian Church with the Roman in the late twelfth century. What this old dullness was is less clear but it seems that Latin customs had indeed become both Jonas Thungren Lindbärg desirable and powerful, for this ecumenical endeavour met with success and only a handful of years later something similar occured in the Between Old and New Rome Old and New Between Balkans, when a newly founded Bulgarian empire submitted to the Roman Church as well. The rulers of these realms would not only profess their loyalty to the Roman Church but would also carry papal banners into battle and exchange letters with the pope. This study examines how these rulers used their relationships with the Papacy, as well as how the pope used his relationship with them. It is a study of ideas and of symbolic power, of how kingdoms and empires were imagined and expressed. It is a study of the new and the old, of two new power-centres emerging from the old peripheries of the crumbling Byzantine Empire, of leaders weaving together real and imagined histories with new influences in order to establish and profess their legitimate rule.

THE AUTOCEPHALY OF THE ROMANIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH: 125 YEARS SINCE ITS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT by Theodor Damian Father Theodor Damian, PhD, is Professor of Philosophy and Ethics at the Metropolitan College of New York. He presented this paper at the annual meeting of CAREE, held in March 2011. Introduction From antiquity, the ancestors of the Romanian people, the Geto-Dacians, living in the Carpatho-Danubiano-Pontic area, were well known, according to ancient sources, for their profound spirituality and monotheistic religion. That is why Christianity, first preached to them by the apostle Andrew, was welcome and rapidly took root in their minds and hearts. For centuries, the Romanian Orthodox Church, as a spiritual mother of the Romanian people, bestowed eternal values on it, forming its identity and helping it live with dignity among the other peoples in the area.
