Impact of the Russian Revolution on the Romanian Army (1917). Courts-Martial Documents

Based on the documents of the courts-martial, this article aims to evaluate the influence of the Russian Revolution and revolutionary ideas on the soldiers of the Romanian Army. Although the diffusion of revolutionary ideas was limited among Romanian soldiers due to the language barrier and the existing animosity between Romanian and Russian soldiers, the courts-martial documents are relevant for some other problems faced by the Romanian Army during the First World War, such as defections, chronic shortages of weaponry or even nourishment.
