    Icoane ruseşti, ţărani răsculaţi şi politică protecţionistă în Imperiul Habsburgic la 1784-1785
    (Karl A. Romstorfer, Suceava, 2024) Dumitran, Ana
    In the days immediately following the start of Horea's Uprising, three Russian icon merchants were arrested in the Aiud fair, suspected of being among those who had incited the peasants to revolt. Some of the icons that might have been sold at the time are in the collection of the Alba Iulia Museum. Their research followed rumours that merchants were distributing their wares with the announcement of an imminent Russian attack and that anyone who could not show such icons to prove they were a true Christian would be killed. The inquiry ordered by Emperor Joseph II after the suppression of the rebellion confirmed the clever marketing of the Russian merchants, who were banned from entering the Empire from 28 July 1785. In the following years, glass painting - a craft that was just taking off in the central provinces of the Habsburg Empire - would conquer the eyes of every Transylvanian Romanian, while cheap Russian icons would invade the Romanian village world outside the Carpathians.

    Лампады русской работы для храмов Палестины (1693 год)
    (Saint Petersburg State University, 2021) Chesnokova, Nadezhda Petrovna
    The church lamps made in 1693 in Moscow at the request of the Jerusalem Patriarch Dositheus are by no means the only gifts from Russia to the churches of Palestine. However, they stand out because they were made according to a special pattern sent by the patriarch. In addition, Greek inscriptions were carved on them at the request of Dositheus. This practice, it seems, has never been noted in the sources before. The lamps were dedicated to the Holy places, for which the Greeks competed with the Catholics at that time, and conceived by the Jerusalem Patriarch as a symbol of the Russian tsars’ patronage over them. Basing on archival documents, the author of this article reconstructs the entire history of the creation of these late 17th-century works of Russian decorative art. The article is supplemented with the appendix “Inscriptions on Russian lamps sent to Jerusalem, original and revised versions, 1693”.
