For the first time, a modern Russian reader has the opportunity to learn about the events of Romanian history from the times of the Dacians and Ancient Rome and until very recently from the lips of Romanian historians themselves. This fundamental scientific research, carried out under the auspices of the Center for Transylvanian Studies of the Romanian Cultural Center, is distinguished by the wealth of factual material and the non-triviality of the scientific approach. The authors sought to touch upon all the most pressing and controversial issues in the history of their country, which are the subject of debate not only in Romania, but also beyond its borders. This is truly a new book; it was published in Romania in 2004, and in 2005 it was translated and published in Russia.[1]
