Abstract:
The topic proposed for analysis stems from a number of erroneous statements of the Soviet and post-Soviet Russian historiography referring to Romania’s neutrality in the early years of the First World War. Therefore, we have brought to light some information originating from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Empire, in an attempt to identify the true interests and the backstage diplomatic games that took place during this period, as well as the position of various officials, concerning one issue or another, emerging as a result of the position taken by Romania. The data comes from documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and mainly from the daily journal of this institution.
