Summary/Abstract: The volume is the result of a research theme initiated in 1999 within the N.I.S.T. and which focused on the situation of the Cadrilater (Southern Dobruja) in the interwar period from the perspective of the interference of communist-type activities in the Balkans, carried under cominternist tutelage and of Bulgarian irredentism. Several research directions were pursued: the activity of the Internal Dobrujan Revolutionary Organisation ( V.D.R.O.); the activity of the Dobrujan Revolutionary Organisation (D.R.O.), a communist-type organization, detached from the V.D.R.O. in 1925 and who acted mainly in the Southern Dobruja under the guidance, at least theoretically, of the Romanian Communist Party (R.C.P.) and the Comintern; the attitude of the R.C.P. towards the national problem, with emphasis on the situation of Southern Dobruja, as well as the activity of the regional R.C.P. in Dobruja; the involvement of the Communist International in the Balkans and its relationship with the R.C.P. and the U.S.S.R.'s attitude in this regard. The presented documents outline both Bulgarian and Romanian theses on Dobruja and especially its southern part, the reader having the necessary elements for forming his own opinion.
