from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ion I. Russu (also Ioan Iosif Russu , born December 4, 1911 in Sălişte , Torda-Aranyos County ; † September 9, 1985 in Cluj-Napoca ) was a Romanian ancient historian , epigraphist , provincial Roman archaeologist and linguist .

Life

Ion I. Russu, the son of the teacher Irimie Russu, first attended the grammar school in Cluj and from 1924 in Turda , after his father had been transferred there. Russu passed his matriculation examination in Turda in 1928 and then studied history at the University of Cluj from 1928 to 1932 . From 1933 to 1935 he stayed in Rome on a scholarship from the Accademia di Romania and deepened his studies, especially in the field of epigraphy and linguistics .

After his return, Russu first worked as a high school teacher, later as an assistant and institute director at the University of Cluj. When the city and region in the Second World War in Hungary ceded and the University of Sibiu was moved, Russu continued his teaching and research work and reached its 1942 promotion to Dr. phil. After the end of the Second World War and his return to Cluj, Russu came into conflict with the communist rulers in 1947, who banned him from teaching. From then on Russu had to limit himself to his research. From 1947 until his retirement in 1973 he worked at the Institute for History and Archeology of the Academy of Social and Political Sciences of the Socialist Republic of Romania (Academiei de Științe Sociale și Politice), which elected him as a corresponding member in 1970. Russu was editor or co-editor of the journals Anuarul Institutului de Studii Clasice (1938-1949), Acta Musei Napocensis (1964-1971) and Anuarul Institutului de Istorie și Arheologie Cluj-Napoca (1973-1980). He directed archaeological excavations in 1959 at the Brâncoveneşti fort and in 1977 at the Bucium fort .

The Romanian Academy held a conference in his honor on the occasion of his 100th birthday. A statue in memory of Russu was inaugurated on October 25, 2015 in his birthplace, Sălişte.
