Relaţiile politice ale Moldovei lui Ştefan cel Mare cu genovezii din Crimeea (1457–1469)
The Political Relations between Moldavia of Stephen the Great and Genoese of Crimea (1457–1469)

Summary/Abstract: The Political Relations between Moldavia of Stephen the Great and Genoese of Crimeea were studied by N. Iorga and Şerban Papacostea, the former considering that peaceful relationships prevailed, the latter underlining the conflictual episodes. The case study of the period 1457–1469 allows us to check these two directions at least for this fragment of time. The chronological and factual framework suggests that we must analyse the political relations between Moldavia of Stephen the Great and Genoese of Crimeea according to the geopolitical compatibility or incompatibility. The conclusion is that we must periodize these relations in three phases in which peace and conflict alternated, 1457–1469, 1469–1473 and 1473–1475. Furthermore, for the first period, we can talk about cooperation between the two political actors, above all in front of the danger of the Ottoman Empire.
