Summary/Abstract: One of the most interesting texts in a Romanian chronicle is to be found in the Hronograf of a Wallachian monk, Dionisie. In a very clear and simple style, he presents the history and use of chemical weapons in war, by the Russians. Other sources regarding the same subject are also taken into consideration, in an attempt to present a subject that has been largely unknown to the public.
