1806-1812 Russo-Turkish War and Its Implications for Romanian Orthodox Church

Summary/Abstract: In the aftermath of the Russo-Turkish war of 1806-1812, the Romanian territory between the Dniester and the Prut is annexed to the Russian Empire. The implications of this action will be seen, in the long run, in the orientation of the Romanian Principalities’ political elite, who will always remain, from now on, reticent and prudent towards the projects of the Russian politics in the Balkans. Furthermore, the Russian Empire will soon stop using, in the first place, in its propaganda the anti-Ottoman fight of the Balkan peoples united under the flag of Orthodoxy, preferring now to circulate the pan-Slavic ideology, where the Romanian aspirations couldn’t find any place any more.
