Summary/Abstract: The political and military relation between Romania and Russia during 1916 were marked by several milestones as follows: the signing of the political and military convention on 4/17 August, the military cooperation in Dobruja and in the Eastern Carpathians, the provision of the conditions for an important part of the Romanien armed forces to regroup in Moldova in early December. The collaboration was not only direct, through the Romanian and Russian military missions attached to the Great General Headquartiers, but also indirect, through the correspondence between the political and military decision-making factors in the two countries. Under the circumstances of the major crisis in December 1916, Russian authorities unsuccessfully attempted to subordinate the Romanian state military capabilities east of the Dniester. The collaboration between the two allied countries proved to be, because of the Rissian authorities attitude, a factor that contributed to Romania’s insecurity.
