Romanian King Michael, the last representative of the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen family that ruled Romania from 1866 to 1947, was not only a witness but also a key player in many key events in national history. Drawing on Russian archival documents, many of which are being introduced into scholarly circulation for the first time, this monograph introduces readers to little-known chapters in the life of Michael I and his family, the monarch's entourage, and the leaders of the Romanian political elite. It explores Michael's role in the coup d'état of August 23, 1944, the break with Nazi Germany, and Romania's transition to the Allied Forces. The monograph also highlights Michael's political activities, his contacts and connections with the top leadership of the USSR, the Soviet military administration operating in the country, and representatives of Great Britain and the United States on the Allied Control Commission. The dramatic events surrounding the king's abdication under pressure from Romanian communists and his time in exile are examined.
This fascinating account of the life and fate of the Romanian monarch is the first in Russian historiography and is addressed to historians, international relations specialists, educators, and the general reader.
