Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the goals of Russia’s Eastern policy was to turn Moldavia and Wallachia, the two Romanian principalities north of the Danube, from Ottoman vassals into a controllable buffer zone and a springboard for future military operations against Constantinople. Russia on the Danube describes the divergent interests and uneasy cooperation between the Russian officials and the Moldavian and Wallachian nobility in a key period between 1812 and 1834. Victor Taki’s meticulous examination of the plans and memoranda composed by Russian administrators and the Romanian elite underlines the crucial consequences of this encounter. The Moldavian and Wallachian nobility used the Russian-Ottoman rivalry in order to preserve and expand their traditional autonomy. The comprehensive institutional reforms born out of their interaction with the tsar’s officials consolidated territorial statehood on the lower Danube, providing the building blocks of a nation state. The main conclusion of the book is that although Russian policy was driven by self-interest, and despite the Russophobia among a great part of the Romanian intellectuals, this turbulent period significantly contributed to the emergence, several decades later, of modern Romania.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Across Russia: From the Baltic to the Danube From Paris to Stockholm is a long distance on the map of Europe, hut in these days of swift and well-arranged transit, long distances are easily and rapidly traversed. One can cross the continent by rail, and by continuous travel make the journey in five days; but if he finds rest as well as recreation on the sea, and loves a boat, he can cross the English Channel and go from London or Hull to Gothenburg, and thence b}r rail, or through the Gotha River and the Swedish lakes, to the capital of Scandinavia. Let no one fancy, however, that the German Ocean will be untrue to its record. Boisterous and rude, like the ancient Teutons, it sports with its guests in 110 gentle fashion, and brings enemies prostrate before its shrine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Danube has been for two centuries the great connecting link between the European West and the European East. Most commercial and cultural exchanges between the two parts of Europe took place with the help of or along the Danube. The West involved was, above all, southern Germany and the cisbithynian part of the Habsburg monarchy. The East was the formerly Turkish ruled territories, the Balkan peninsula and the Black Sea. The latter was, for the last two centuries, the center of conflict between Russian and Turkish hegemo nial aspirations. The events of the Balkan wars and of World War I almost ex tinguished Turkish influence, an event long expected: The outcome of World War I fortified, to an unexpected degree, the influence of Russia, which now became almost synonymous with the term of the European East. For a few years the middle and lower Danube threaten ed to disappear behind the Iron Curtain which marked the extent of Eastern influence.
