Între anarhism și social-democrație. Influența anarhiștilor asupra clasei muncitoare din România până la 1914
Between Anarchism and Social Democracy. Anarchist Influence within the Romanian Working Class until 1914

Summary/Abstract: Starting from the second half of the XIX century, modern politics were introduced in Romania and besides conservatism and liberalism that became established doctrines, left wing ideas tried to gain a foothold too. The beginnings of socialism in Romania can be found in the 1870’s and while eventually Marxism became the dominant leftist trend, at first there was a rather large pool of ideas brought by different groups like university students who studied abroad, those from Romanian universities and intellectuals form the Russian Empire who migrated to Romania. Those groups were the foundation for the first socialist movement that tried to spread socialism within the working class but the rather small number of anarchists were unable or unwilling to establish working class organizations. During the revival of socialism within the working class after 1900, anarchists like Panait Zosin and Panait Mușoiu tried to convince in embracing their ideas and by using archival sources and newspapers from the era we will try to better understand the motives behind the few workers who embraced anarchism.
