Basarabia şi relaţiile româno-ruse la începutul Primului Război Mondial (august-decembrie 1914)
Bessarabia and Russian-Romanian Relations at the beginning of the First World War (August – December 1914)

Summary/Abstract: Bessarabia did not represent a real problem in the Russian-Romanian negotiations at the beginning of the First World War, as was the case of Transylvania and the relations between Romania and Austria-Hungary. In fact, neither of the two countries involved in this dispute, Romania and the Russian Empire, was having a plan or strategy regarding this province. Both cabinets tested each other’s views about the issue, but it did not evolve into a desideratum, in the Romanian case, or into a real concern, in the Russian case. Rather, Bessarabia appears in the diplomatic documents as a means of negotiation when the pressure of discussions was becoming too high or when these negotiations were not developing in the expected direction.
