Kuhrer-Wielach: A fertile and flourishing garden: Alexandru
Vaida-Voevod's Political Account Ten Years after Versailles.
In the former Russian province of Bessarabia united with Romania in
1918, local inhabitants tried to make sense of the new reality by
mastering geopolitical visions and making their own identity
choices. Profoundly marked by the World War I, the disintegration
of the Russian Empire and the growing Bolshevik danger, a group of
Bessarabians, of both imperial and revolutionary elite, refused to
imagine the fate of their region alongside Romania but looked for
political alternatives, either in autonomy inside Romania and
Ukraine or as part of a restored (monarchic or democratic) Russia.
The book tells the story of a transnational network of Bessarabians
and White Russian émigrés in Paris and other European capitals
who during the 1919 Peace Conference played wisely on the
"Wilsonian moment" to propel the idea of a pro-Russian "will" of
the Bessarabians. Though unsuccessful in solving the Bessarabian
"question" in Paris in their favor, they succeeded in animating
anti-Romanian feelings and impacting personal and group identities
inside the region.
