Summary/Abstract: Professor Alexander Yacimirskiy (1873-1925), native from Bessarabia, was not only an internationally well-known expert on the medieval Slavic manuscripts, but also one of the outstanding figures of the Romanian studies in Russia. He published numerous works on the Romanian literature, folklore, ethnography, church history and especially about the Romanians’ cultural ties with their Slavic neighbors. Yacimirskiy’s heritage stored in the Russian archives (and first of all his correspondence) broaden our knowledge of his contacts with his Russian colleagues – experts on the Romanian and South-Eastern-European studies, as well as with the Romanian colleagues – who were influenced not only by his published works, but also by his advices and consultations. The new sources we bring forward also add some important details to our knowledge of his activities in the last years of his life, in the city of Rostov on Don, where he was evacuated with the Warsaw University in 1915.
