Putin and the self esteem

I guess the Russin prime minister Vladimir Putin has a very good opinion about himself and tries to establish a kind of new order in Russia and not only.

Desgustat ca Secu inca loveste

Astazi am avut un mare soc. Am aflat ca reputatul medic si academician, om de o inalta tinuta morala - aparenta pana acum - conferita si de apartenenta sa la o mare familie boiereasca ce a facut 'putina' istorie in Principate, a colaborat - voit sau nu ce e drept - cu fosta SECU, cu baietii cu ochi albastri.


Balaceanu-Stolnici avea nume de cod „Laurentiu“

Constantin Balaceanu-Stolnici a colaborat cu Securitatea ca sef de sectie al institutului condus de Ana Aslan. Notele informative erau semnate „Laurentiu“.

Primele contacte cu Securitatea ale lui Constantin Balaceanu-Stolnici au avut loc in 1974. E anul in care, la invitatia Anei Aslan, dupa cum povesteste chiar el, s-a transferat de la Spitalul nr. 9 la Institutul de Geriatrie si Gerontologie. Renumit la acea vreme in intreaga lume, sanatoriul institutului avea cu precadere pacienti straini. Si, intrucit initial cladirea din Otopeni apartinuse CC al PCR, o aripa era rezervata nomenclaturistilor. Ca urmare, securistii roiau in institut, iar sursele lor preferate de informare erau medicii. Cind a ajuns seful uneia dintre sectiile institutului, Constantin Balaceanu-Stolnici a intrat automat in vizorul securistilor.

Pacienti straini de prim rang

Contactele cu securistii nu aveau insa ritmicitate. „Erau perioade cind veneau o data pe luna, erau perioade cind veneau zi de zi“, povesteste seniorul liberal. Informatiile cele mai vinate de securisti erau cele despre pacientii straini. „Erau mari personalitati din politica, economie, cultura, presa“, spune Balaceanu-Stolnici, amintindu-si, de exemplu, ca l-a tratat pe marele psihanalist francez Lacanne si ca l-a consultat pe Yasser Arafat. „Erau si teroristi arabi printre pacienti, care spuneau chiar cu mindrie: «Eu sint cel care am organizat rapirea vasului cutare» sau «Eu am deturnat trei avioane»“, completeaza acesta. Informatiile vizau bolile de care sufereau si discutiile cu pacientii. „Secretul profesional nu exista si nici nu exista in Romania. Daca nu le spuneai, oricum mergeau la fisa si aflau tot“, spune fostul sef de sectie al institutului.

Declaratii schimbate

Cit priveste forma in care Constantin Balaceanu-Stolnici furniza informatii Securitatii, declaratiile acestuia s-au schimbat pe parcursul celor citeva discutii purtate. Initial, el a declarat pentru „Cotidianul“ ca declaratiile au fost doar verbale. Securistul venea, il intreba, iar el raspundea. „Nu a fost nimic scris, ci doar verbal“, a spus acesta. Ulterior, a rectificat cele spuse si a recunoscut ca unele dintre declaratiile date securistilor au fost scrise, dar semnate cu numele real. In cele din urma, Constantin Balaceanu-Stolnici a admis ca a dat si declaratii semnate cu un nume de cod. „Nu am semnat niciodata un angajament. O data sau de doua ori mi-au spus sa semnez cu alt nume, Laurentiu“, a recunoscut Constantin Balaceanu-Stolnici. Declaratiile seniorului liberal s-au schim-bat si in ce priveste remuneratia primita pentru notele date.

Astfel, daca initial acesta a sustinut ca nu a primit bani, in final a admis ca, cel putin formal, a fost platit. „Au spus ca au scos bani pe numele meu, dar i-au bagat ei in buzunar“, a mai spus seniorul liberal. El a mentionat ca fiul unui notar ar fi luat acei bani, dupa care ar fi fost „omorit, calcat cu masina“ de catre Securitate, dar nu a furnizat detalii suplimentare.

O evolutie sinuoasa
Ca descendent al Balacenilor, veche familie boiereasca, destinul lui Constantin Balaceanu-Stolnici a avut o evolutie abrupta. Nascut in 1923, acesta a terminat Facultatea de Medicina din Bucuresti in 1947, devenind preparator, apoi asistent la catedra de anatomie. In 1952 a fost insa dat afara din facultate, iar dupa doi ani si de la Spitalul Colentina si exilat la Policlinica Cantacuzino, pina cind, in 1964, a cistigat concursul de medic primar la Spitalul nr. 9. O mina intinsa de Ana Aslan a dat carierei lui Balaceanu-Stolnici, specializat in neurologie, o cu totul alta directie. Acesta a ajuns sef de sectie la Institutul de Geriatrie, pe care din 1991 l-a si condus. In 1993, Iliescu l-a dat afara, dupa cum insusi spune. Singurele prejudicii majore pe care i le-a adus comunismul au fost interdictia de a mai preda la Medicina si titlul de docent, pe care Elena Ceausescu nu a fost de acord sa-l primeasca.

[...] Patru venerabili cu nume de cod

Constantin Balaceanu-Stolnici este al patrulea senior liberal a carui colaborare cu Securitatea iese la iveala. Alexandru Paleologu a fost singurul care a recunoscut colaborarea imediat dupa Revolutie. Al doilea a fost Dan Amedeo Lazarescu, tatal vitreg al actualului presedinte al PNL, Calin Popescu Tariceanu. Decedat in 2002, acesta a fost deconspirat de CNSAS, ca si Mircea Ionescu Quintus. Acesta din urma a primit verdictul de politie politica pe cind era presedinte al partidului. Quintus s-a judecat cu CNSAS pentru sentinta primita si a cistigat in final, la Curtea de Apel, pe chestiuni de procedura.

Se pare ca ei inca lovesc, se pare ca marele comunism care a distrus elita intelectuala si economica dupa cel de al Doilea razboi mondial inca actioneaza. Tortionarii 'lucreaza' inca pentru 'propasirea orandurii noi' si 'eliminarea elementelor dusmanoase' chiar si la 20 de ani de la Revolutie.

HALAL

Romania - Moldavia

Moldavia (Moldova) – The land of legend and history.

Last summer I was in the UK, in Lancaster, to be more precise. Meeting a lot of people from all over Europe meant a lot for me. Many of them when hearing I was from Romania started asking me questions about Dracula, Ceausescu or Ion Ţiriac and Nadia Comaneci. It was a pleasure to answer their questions. One day when asked where I was from I answered I was from Romania and I added “From the north-east of the country to be more exact. From Moldova or Moldavia how it is pronounced by the foreigners”. Oh dear!!! After that the History teacher within me came out and gave a short lesson about this historic region of modern Romania. Many people do not know anything about Moldavia and the Republic of Moldova, yet.
In the ancient times this land was not under the Roman rule as other regions of Romania. The Romans under Trajan’s command came in Dacia in 101 and established the Roman province of Dacia Felix (in the south of present day Romania) and they stayed here until 271 when the imperial administration quitted the area. On the occasion of conquering Dacia Trajan erected a wonderful column in Rome. This ancient monument still exists today and can be admired by the tourists.
What is now Moldavia, or Moldova in Romanian, was inhabited by the Dacians who remained outside the direct influence of the Romans. There are pseudo-historians who claim that the Dacians from what is today Moldavia had no contact with their brethren in the south. There is nothing more ridiculous! They kept contact and actually developed to the same rhythm as the south. The Roman settlers who came to Dacia influenced the pattern of everyday life, language and culture of the locals both in the province and outside its borders. Thus the Romanian people emerged as a synthesis of the Romans and the Dacians. The language they spoke was a mixture of local elements (of which little is known today but for some 200 words) and of Latin (Latina vulgaris).
In the Middle Ages the Romanian people lived in three principalities: Wallachia (Tara Romaneasca - in the south between the Carpathians and the Danube), Transylvania and Moldavia (between the Carpathians in the west and Tyras or Nistru in the east). During the Middle Ages the principality of Moldavia became one of the most prosperous region inhabited by the Romanians. Stefan cel Mare (1457-1504), or Stephen the Great in English, fought the Turks and other invaders and kept his country free and independent.
The 19th century was not the best period ever for Moldavia. The Russian tzars considered the strategic and economical potential of this region and in 1812 they occupied the area between the Prut River (west) and Nistru (east). The occupied part of Moldavia was transformed by the Russian authorities into a guberniya. The Romanian majority population was forced to use Russian in their relations with the administration, the local Romanian elite was prevented from reaching good jobs and many intellectuals were taken to Siberia. This brutal act separated the two halves of the largest Romanian principality. To a great extent the Moldavians on the left bank of Prut lost their national Romanian identity and language due to the lack of contact with the rest of the Romanians and to the brutal policy of the Russians.
Meanwhile on the right bank of Prut the Romanians in the three principalities decided to unify. So in 1859 Wallachia and Moldavia joined their administration under a single elected prince, Alexandru Ioan Cuza. In 1918 Transylvania, after holding a special council, decided to unify with Romania. This is how modern Romania appeared on the map of the world.
Today Moldavia is still divided into two parts by the Prut River. On the right side – which is in Romania – there are 8 counties (from north to south: Suceava, Botosani, Iasi, Neamt, Bacau, Vaslui, Vrancea and Galati). The Romanian region itself spans over 46,173 km² (19.5% of Romania's territory) and its total population is 4,681,555 as of 2002 (21.6% of Romania's population).
On the left side of the Prut was proclaimed the Republic of Moldova. This part of the historic Moldavia remained under direct Russian control until 1991 when it gained its independence from Moscow, at least formally. There were some attempts to unify with Romania but there was no real political intention to do this. The government form Chisinau still has problems with Transnistria, the region on the left bank of Nistru, which under the Russian unofficial control proclaimed its independence from the national authorities on the right bank.
