JUSTICE

1907 Romanian Peasants' Revolt

• Starting 1864, the peasants in Romania became free men able to own their land

• Even though that appeared to be of a big step, in fact they could not afford to have

enough land for themselves

• During that period just a few large landowners owned more than half of the arable

land of the country

1907 Romanian Peasants' Revolt

The revolt began in the village of Flămânzi (the name seems predestined, as it

literally means "hungry men")

The revolt soon spread across most of Moldavia, with several landowners' properties

destroyed and many arendators killed or wounded

On 18 March a state of emergency was declared. The Romanian Army began firing on

the peasants; thousands of peasants perished and more than 10,000 were arrested.

PEACE

Aurel Vlaicu-the man who built the first airplane in Romania

Aurel Vlaicu was born in Binţinţi (now renamed Aurel Vlaicu), Geoagiu, Transylvania. He

attended Calvinist High School in Orăştie (renamed "Liceul Aurel Vlaicu" in his honour in 1919) and

took his Baccalaureate in Sibiu in 1902. He furthered his studies at Technical University of

Budapest andTechnische Hochschule München in Germany, earning his engineer's diploma in 1907.

After working at Opel car factory in Rüsselsheim, he returned to Binţinţi and built a glider he flew in the

summer of 1909. Later that year, he moved toBucharest, in the Kingdom of Romania, where he began

the construction of Vlaicu Nr. I airplane; it flew for the first time on June 17, 1910.

During his short career he built

three original, arrow-shaped airplanes,

with flight controls in front, two coaxial

propellers, NACA-like ring around the

engine, and independent suspension-

tricycle-landing-gear with brakes. At the

time of his death, a two-seated

monoplane Vlaicu Nr. III, ordered

by Marconi Companyfor experiments with

aerial wireless radio, was only partially

built. After Vlaicu's death the plane was

completed by friends, and several short

experimental flights were made during

1914. Further tests were hindered by the

unusual controls of the airplane, no other

pilot was familiar with.

In 1916, during the German occupation of

Bucharest, Vlaicu III was seized and

shipped to Germany. The airplane was

last seen in a 1942 aviation exhibition in Berlin.[citation needed]

RESPECT

He was born in Ștefănești, a village of Botoșani County.The Luchian family moved to

Bucharest in 1873 and his mother desired that he would follow his father's path and

join the Military School. Instead, in 1885, Luchian joined the painting class at the Fine

Arts School, where he was encouraged to pursue a career in art by Nicolae

Grigorescu, whose work was to have a major impact on his entire creative life.

Painter of flowers, who added magic into the color representation. Realized portraits,

landscapes, flower paintings. He is also known for painting several churches` walls.

Even though he had a spinal cord disease he continued in his artistic work.

His last masterpiece “Lautul” not only reveals the multitudes forms of respect but

also the manners through which is gained.

Respect for Stefan Luchian seems to be like a boomerang, in a way that you have to

share it with the ones surrounding you in order to be able to return at its initial stage.
