Abstract: The ambiguous solutions offered by the Paris Peace Agreement, after the First World War, failed to succeed in completely solving the delicate issues of the Central and Eastern Europe, the application of the nations’ principle failing to satisfy the claims of the numerous ethnical groups, strongly individualized, with a clearly determined national and ethical sense. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to analyze the “Rutean issue”, the way it was acknowledged by part of the XX th century historiography, from the perspective of the influences it had upon the events that occurred in Maramures, in the winter of 1944-1945. What we want to highlight are not the events, quantitatively reduced, seen their short temporary and spatial amplitude, but the fact that the events with a strongly secessionist feature imply an important overboard component, the already existence of some litigious antecedents, strategic interests of the involved parts, a significantly revanchist charge, but also sincere motivations, especially from the human communities directly involved in the events, animated by well-known principles such as national rights, equality, free access to education, by turning to their own culture, etc. Seen from this perspective the secessionist movement from Maramures, is more significant than a simple spontaneous revolt of an ethnical group “disadvantaged” by the Romanian policy. It also offers the background of understanding of the studied event and moreover, answers to the questions regarding the solving and finality of this issue. The sources that lie at the basis of our study are mainly taken from the diplomatic foreign archives, military and RCP’s, thus wishing to offer not only a critical perspective that the passing of time suggests but also the dissentients’ and the structures of power’s of the above mentioned period. It is a two-part structured paper: the former imply an incursion in the “Rutean issue” and in the actions that marked the attempts of establishing an independent Ukrainean state around the First World War and after 1943, the latter aiming at presenting the main aspects that the secessionist movement from Maramures had, the connection with the events in the north of the Tisa, the Soviet army’s role and the Romanian authorities’ attitude. |
