This remarkable portrait of Mihai Eminescu, created by artist Alexandru Gușanov, is based on one of the four known photographs of the poet. The photograph that inspired this portrait was taken in 1869 in Wenceslas Square, Prague, when Eminescu was only 19 years old. The oval composition and harmonious color palette highlight the prominent personality and charisma of the young poet, capturing an expression that conveys both melancholy and intellectual depth.
Alexandru Gușanov (1929-2005), a Moldovan painter of Ukrainian origin, distinguished himself through his extensive work, comprising approximately 5,000 pieces - portraits, landscapes, and still life paintings. Settled in Moldova since 1945, Gușanov graduated from the Republican Art School "I.E. Repin" in Chișinău in 1952. His works were showcased in numerous national and international exhibitions and were highly appreciated in countries such as France, Hungary, Russia, and Yugoslavia. The artist dedicated a significant part of his career to creating portraits of historical and cultural figures, including Dimitrie Cantemir, Mihail Kogălniceanu, and Alexei Mateevici, which are part of the National Museum of History of Moldova's collection.

The subject of the portrait, Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889), is the most significant poet in Romanian literature, whose works reflect profound thought, sensitivity toward nature, and national identity. At the age of 19, when the photograph that inspired this portrait was taken, Eminescu was in the midst of his intellectual formation, preparing to become the iconic voice of Romanian culture. Among his most famous works is the poem Luceafărul (The Morning Star), a masterpiece of universal literature.

L'impact du fleau de la peste dans revolution des relations commerciales de l'Empire Russe avec la Principaute de Moldavie (1812-1831)

Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. VI [XXI], nr. 2, Istorie. Muzeologie

L’évolution des relations commerciales de l’Empire Russe avec la Principauté de Moldavie a été influencée d’un certain nombre de facteurs objectifs et subjectifs, internes et externes qui sont realisés par diverses formes et intensité. Le problème, c’est que ces facteurs ont influencé le progrés ou même le régres des processus de la vie économique de l’Empire Russe et de la Principauté de Moldavie pendant le premier tiers du XIX- ième siècle.

Parfois le commerce bilatéral a été influencé de diverses maladies et épidémies qui ont mis en péril la vie et la santé des habitants et même ont imposé les états d’établir des actes normatifs pour protéger ses frontières.

La limite supérieure chronologique (1812) désigne une nouvelle étape dans le développement des relations com- merciales de l’Empire Russe avec la Principauté de Moldavie qui a une tangente directe avec l’annexion du terri- toire d’entre le Pruth et Dniestr et les premières attestations du fléau de la peste dans les Principautés Roumaines, l’Empire Otoman, l’Empire Autrichien, même les goubernies voisines et qui ont imposé l’administration impériale russe à établir un plan stratégique pour la protection des frontières d’Ouest d’Empire.

La limite inférieure chronologique (1831) confirme les dernières vagues de peste attestés dans la Principauté de Moldavie, la supréssion du cordon sanitaire – douanier au Dniestr et l’unification douanière de la Bessarabie avec l’Empire Russe. Donc, les restrictions établies par l’administration impériale russe pour la protection des frontières de peste, ont conditionné la fermeture des frontières d’Ouest de la Bessarabie, enregistrant la diminussion de l’échange des marchandises et une transformation d’ordre sociale, politique et économique.
