Diplomația fanarioților (1711-1821) [Articol]
(Lexon-Prim, 2023) Mischevca, Vlad
The Phanariot princes, as in the previous era of autochthonous reigns, had diplomatic agents at the Sublime Porte (Capukehai) and benefited from the same ceremonial forms. Thus, throughout the period of the Phanariot reigns (1711-1821), the Romanian Principalities, through their diplomatic agents from Constantinople, who performed the function of representatives of the voivode with diplomatic envoy status, accredited by the Ottoman authorities (Grand vizier), affirmed their status autonomous within the Ottoman Empire. The increase in the importance of the Capukechais during the Phanariot reigns was manifested by the increase in their number, their influence in the Principality and their importance in the diplomatic world of Constantinople. To obtain the desired status, that of voivode (hospodar) or dragoman and to be able to keep it for as long as possible, the Phanariot families had to wage a permanent struggle, by all means to annihilate their opponents, Phanariot’s like themselves. During this period, the history of the foreign policy of Moldova and Wallachia is, in fact, the history of the ties and political relations between the families of the Phanariot princes and the Great European Powers - relationships, which were often hidden, being much more complex and with multivalent implications in the politics of the era than believed.
DOMNII FANARIOȚ GRIGORE AL III-LEA ALEXANDRU GHICA ȘI CONSTANTIN DUMITRIU MORUZI ÎN CONTEXTUL ANEXARII BUCOVINEI (1775)
(CEP USM, 2024) Mischevca, Vlad
In 1775, the Habsburg Empire annexed the territory of northern Moldavia – Bucovina, with the former seat of Suceava and the cities of Cernăuți, Câmpulung, Baia, Siret. According to Article II of the Convention (in four articles) of territorial cession and demarcation, concluded in Constantinople between Austria and Turkey (April 26 / May 7, 1775), the cession of Bucovina was stipulated, establishing the new territorial limits. In the context of that mutilating partition from 1775, popular memory also remembered the tragic death of Prince Grigore Alexandru Ghica III, who was assassinated by the Turks on October 2, 1777. In the 18th century, Moldova suffered a lot due to the conflict of interests between Russia, Austria, and the Ottoman Empire. The first partition of Poland in 1772 between Austria-Russia-Prussia was far from reconciling the conflicting interests of these European powers and showed the possibility of new territorial conquests at the expense of weaker neighbors even in peacetime. The political activity, followed by the reign of Grigore III Al. Ghica (for 3 years) and of Constantin D. Moruzi (5 years), were marked by the mutual enmity of the two Phanariot princes.
