Summary/Abstract: This study, drawing of academic resources and documents from the archives, analyses the evolution of the relations between Romania and Russia following the Crimean War, a period when Romania continued to be under the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire, which continued to claim the prerogative of representing the new state in matters related to foreign affairs. In order to emancipate itself from Ottoman tutelage and affirm its own sovereignty in the conduct of foreign policy, the Romanian diplomacy proceeded to establishing direct contacts with the Great Powers. In the case of Russia, the Romanian authorities sent special diplomatic missions to the court of Czar Alexander III, laying the groundwork for the establishment of diplomatic agencies, first in Sankt-Petersburg, in 1868, and then, in Bucharest, in 1874.
