The general aim of this conference was to investigate the encounters between the Baltic and the Black Sea regions‟ societies since the Middle Ages. The goal was to unearth the complexity of these bonds not only at state level (political, diplomatic, military, trade relations), but also the encounters, forms of syncretism or networks of a commercial, social, cultural, religious nature which are beyond or beneath the state relations and are presumably not only richer, but more interesting and challenging for a researcher as well. Additionally, parallels between the two regions as two buffer zones situated in-between the great empires or great powers of modernity were also assessed. Papers dealing with the effects of world wars, totalitarianism and the Cold War either as comparative approach or in terms of relations, confluences and influences were also invited. Furthermore, the conference also welcomed research results dealing with diasporas, émigré communities or individual destinies in the frame of the general theme of the conference. As such, this conference constituted a real change of research paradigm, relatively little having been previously achieved in this respect. The results of the conference as the two issues of our review will prove were notable. A number of twenty-eight speakers belonging to twenty-three institutions from nine European countries approached these issues from various angles, the largest number of participants being constituted of historians, alongside whom stood specialists in international relations, minority studies, political sciences, etc. In the editing of this issue, we have focused on the panels dealing with “Settlements, transfers, encounters and clashes in the Modern Age” and “Baltic, Nordic and Black Sea regions in the international relations: 5 Revista Română de Studii Baltice şi Nordice, Vol. 3, Issue 1 (2011) intersections, meetings, crosscurrents” to which the papers signed by Stefan Donecker, Klaus Richter, Mihaela Mehedinţi, Costel Coroban, Veniamin Ciobanu and Claudiu-Lucian Topor belonged. Let us take a closer look at each of these papers individually. Stefan Donecker and Klaus Richter‟s papers approached their subjects from the perspective of histoire croisée, the former researcher studying the humanist hypothesis of a Wallachian origin of Lithuanians and Latvians, while the latter considering the cultural transfers and the role of rumors as manifesting between Kińinyev and Lithuania in a charged climate marked by the wave of anti-Jewish pogroms occurring in the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century. The scholarly fantasy circulated by University of Wittenberg‟s scholars regarding a Wallachian migration to the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea endured for about one century and half. This prompts Donecker conclude that on the mental maps of Central European scholars, “Dacia respectively Wallachia were not too civilized […], but still civilized enough to provide a reputable and very prestigious ancestry. A Wallachian origin was, indeed, an honorable genealogy.“

  • Economic Violence Or the Law of War? Swedish Contributions From
    KATARZYNA WAGNER University of Warsaw Faculty of History ORCID: 0000-0002-5454-6151 Economic violence or the law of war? Swedish contributions from the period of the Great Northern War as an example of extraordinary provisions imposed on the residents of the cities within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Keywords: contributions, taxes, Polish-Swedish wars, Great Northern War, Polish-Lithu- anian Commonwealth, 18th century Słowa kluczowe: kontrybucje, podatki, wojny polsko-szwedzkie, Wielka Wojna Północna, Rzeczpospolita Obojga Narodów, XVIII w. INTRODUCTION Słownik Języka Polskiego [Dictionary of the Polish Language] offers three defini- tions of the term ‘contribution’: ‘1. a pecuniary tribute imposed on the defeated state by the victorious state in the course of a peace treaty; 2. historically, during a war: forced payment in money or food collected by the military; 3. historically, a charge levied by a ruler on a country he had conquered; protection money, tribute, tax’1. While analysing modern tax sources, it turns out that—due to their specificity as well as to the time and manner of their collection—the definition proposed by the Dictio- nary, albeit true, is incomplete, and it is imperative to include additional components. The analysis of the definition proposed above will be possible thanks to regis- ters of Swedish contributions imposed by the occupier on specific cities. This paper aims to answer the question about the practice (and legitimacy) of Swedish troops imposing contributions on the inhabitants of cities in the Polish-Lithuanian Com- monwealth. Another issue will be to determine what place they occupied within the general system of contributions upon which the Swedish way of waging wars was based.

When Sweden invaded Poland, in June 1655, it went to war with an army which reflected not only the state’s military and cultural strengths but also its fiscal weaknesses. During 1655 the Swedes won great successes in Poland and captured most of the country. But a series of military decisions transformed the Swedish army from a concentrated, combined-arms force into a mobile but widely dispersed force.

  • 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.
