The collection was organized shortly after the first installment arrived in 1974. The last increment was given to the Archives in November 1986, at which time the entire collection was processed anew. The present register incorporates material from the original register as well as the rest of the documents that were added to the collection since then. The bulk of the collection consists of Osuský's correspondence, speeches and writings, and research notes, as well as of various documents and materials pertaining to Osuský's long career and activity in the anti-communist movement, to Czechoslovakia since World War I, the Czechoslovak government-in-exile during World War II, and post-war émigré affairs. Of great importance are Osuský's papers disputing the constitution of the Czechoslovak provisional government in London, Beneš's constitutional presidency, and the role of the State Council (see, in the speeches and writings file, "Londýnské štátné zriadenie," "Dr. Beneš's Authoritative Regime," "Beneš's Government in London," "Legal Position of Dr. Beneš, of the Šrámek Government and the Czechoslovak State Council," "Řízená demokracie při práci"). In his paper "Continuité de l'état tchéchoslovaque," Osuský explains his theory of the continuity of the Czechoslovak state based on the recognition of the Czechoslovak National Committee by the French government. Also interesting in that series are Osuský's writings on Beneš himself, in which he criticizes Beneš's 'modus operandi,' his anti-Slovak and pro-Russian policies, and his role in the Munich events that led to the subsequent dismemberment of Czechoslovakia (see, in particular, "Beneš a pravda," "Beneš and Commitment," "Beneš Manipulator," "Benešová vláda a Slováci," "Osuský Notes on Munich," "The Collapse of Czechoslovakia: Events Leading to the Munich Agreement"). Of special note are also Osuský's numerous writings on Germany, Russia, the Soviet Union, namely "Encirclement of the 'Capitalist Countries' by the Soviets," "Peaceful Co-Existence," "Communist Law and the Soviet Federation of Nations," "Rule of Law Under Communist Regimes," as well as his essays on Europe, Hitler, Stalin, etc. Also of significant importance are documents relating to the beginning of the Czechoslovak exile movement in 1939 and 1940, in particular, Osuský's negotiations with the French government officials, which resulted in October of 1939 in the signing of a treaty relating to the reconstruction of the Czechoslovak Army in France, and to the creation of the Czechoslovak National Committee in Paris (see in the career file the original of the agreement "Accord relatif à la reconstitution en France de l'armée tchéchoslovaque"). In the biographical file are also included legal documents relating to the lawsuits brought by Osuský against Hubert Ripka and Bohuslav Beneš, which demonstrate, among other things, the lack of ability of the Czechoslovak émigré community to stop engaging in bitter personal fights and start to unify and coordinate the activities of

  • 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.

  • Romania and Finland in the Aftermath of the Operation Barbarossa (1941)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Directory of Open Access Journals Revista Română pentru Studii Baltice şi Nordice, Vol. 2, Issue 2, 2010, pp. 249-284 ROM “ALLIES WITHOUT ALLIANCE” TO CONCERTED ACTION: ROMANIA AND F FINLAND IN THE AFTERMATH OF OPERATION BARBAROSSA (1941) Silviu Miloiu Valahia University of Targoviste, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This study describes the relationship between two small and lesser states joining the German attack against Soviet Union in an attempt to recapture the territories lost to Soviet Union in 1940. It is conceived as an in-depth analysis of the Romanian-Finnish relations based on the criticism of archival sources discovered in the Romanian, Finnish and British archives. Becoming “allies without alliance” almost overnight, the relations between the two countries acknowledged a quick shift from low profile bonds to an agreement based on a combination of balance of power and joint action. The aim was to remove the threat Russia was posing to the two countries and to increase their influence at a peace conference to be open following the expected defeat of their big neighbour. Romania was the advocate of closer ties between the two countries keeping in line with its search for influence rather than autonomy in its foreign relations, while Finland was more prudent consistent with its choice for autonomy rather than influence. Rezumat: Acest studiu descrie relaţiile dintre două state mici şi mijlocii care s-au alăturat atacului german împotriva Uniunii Sovietice într-o încercare de a-şi recâştiga teritoriile pierdute în favoarea acestei mari puteri răsăritene vecine în anul 1940.

ACASĂ, ÎN LANCRĂM, DESPRE DIPLOMAŢIA LUI LUCIAN BLAGA Nu l-am cunoscut direct pe Lucian Blaga. Ca şi pe atâţia alţi savanţi ai României. Eram poate prea tânăr ca să mă pot apropia de el, era prea departe de Bucureşti, exilat într-o chilie a Bibliotecii Universitare din Cluj, unde supravieţuia necunoscut de tinerele generaţii; îndeplinea o obligaţie mult sub pregătirea sa şi dimensiunea de enciclopedist, dar continua să gândească şi să scrie. Asemenea celor născuţi în anii ’40, aveam să aflăm despre cel mai mare filosof român al secolului 20 abia în a doua jumătate a anilor ’60. Pas cu pas, ca atâţia alţii, i-am parcurs unele din cărţi, nu cu uşurinţă, căci pregătirea mea unidimensională era departe de a-i pătrunde gândirea şi opera. Eram însă bucuros că într-o etapă de oarecare deschidere i se lăsa lui Lucian Blaga posibilitatea să ajungă din nou la cititorii săi şi noi ne puteam împărtăşi din creaţia lui, fără frica de a fi pedepsiţi pentru accesul nepermis la „literatură subversivă―.
