Alexandru Marghiloman and the Union of Bessarabia with Romania: Historiographical Aspects

Summary/Abstract: In Soviet historiography, subject to ideological dictates, the theme of the Union of Bessarabia with Romania, the role of the great personalities of the time, in the same line of the Prime Minister of România Alexandru Marghiloman, was distorted or neglected. The interest for the great event of March 27, 1918 in Bessarabia appears in the years of Restructuring promoted by Mikhail Gorbachev and especially after the proclamation of the State Independence of the Republic of Moldova. Bessarabian historians studied various issues related to the act of Union of 1918, published collections of documents, articles, monographs, organized scientific conferences dedicated to the Union of Bessarabia with Romania, personalities of that time. Among other politicians, historians also introduced A. Marghiloman. Examination of these studies shows that the Prime Minister of Romania was biased, subjectively exposed as a reactionary person, in solidarity with the Bessarabian “boyars”, against the agrarian reform and the ownership of land by the peasants. The published documents, the memoirs of the politicians of the time, the press show that Alexandru Marghiloman promoted the interests of the Romanian Nation, took into account the wishes of difierent social strata, and today’s historians have the task of objective examination, “without hatred and bias” of the great personality Alexandru Marghiloman.
