A trecut ceva timp de la ultima sesiune tlon si simteam o oarecare lipsa / absenta / angoasa... Aici este inca Duminica dar in Ro este deja Luni – de-aici si decalajul intre ziua publicarii pe acest blog si celelalte 14.

Recently, on tumblr, FuckYeahEasternEurope asked me to explain my remark that the name "Romania" is relatively recent. I don't have much time for documentation, so this post will mostly be a braindump. Which, of course, does not mean that corrections and constructive criticism are not welcome.

Pana sa stabilim utopicul Romanistan (vezi prima parte), ar trebui sa ne facem o idee cam cati romi sunt in Europa. Si cum romii au fost ucisi si persecutati de secole in mod mult mai eficient in Europa de Vest, ii gasim astazi oficial in Europa de Est, unde sunt incontinuu parasutati dupa ce sunt vanati de politiile vestice. Cumva, Romania pare sa se fi impus ca destinatie preferata a acestor “renditii”.

When discussing history (as anything else), my primary source of “inspiration” is not Wikipedia but rather my own memory. I look up Wikipedia to find supporting evidence, however, as it can easily be accessed by anyone who’d want to verify or learn more. And in all this, the “go to figure” in my memories is the history teacher, Georgeasca.
