The okolnichi is first mentioned in Smolensk in 1284. This was during the reign of Grand Duke Fedor who, as we have seen, spent many years at the khan's court, married a Mongol princess, and, in general, might be called a "Mongolophile".

1943, George Vernadsky, Michael Karpovich, A History of Russia: The Mongols and Russia, by George Vernadsky:

Noghai also campaigned in Hungary as a partisan of that country's eccentric Mongolophile ruler Bela IV (1284-5). In his relations with the Saray khanate Noghai was, in the end, less fortunate.

Moreover, the Chinese side obstinately follows a course to aggravate the Mongolo-Chinese relations and to interfere in the internal affairs of the Mongolian People's Republic.

The experience of Mongolo-Soviet collaboration gained over the years has shown the effectiveness of building and operating large joint enterprises and economic associations -- such as the Ulan-Bator railway and […]

Even to this day, the parochial divisions of Wales are, probably, much the same as they were in the Romano-British period, save that where the population increased, subdivisions into subordinate cures took place.

The ties between Tudor Vladimirescu and the liberation movement in Serbia also deserve to be mentioned, and especially the fact that the Adunarea norodului (the People’s Assembly) seemed to be of Serbian inspiration. Thus Romano-Serbian relations were tied in a new and institutional aspect, which unfortunately had no consequences.

At the beginning of the 19th Century there were seven autocephalous or autonomous churches in the Balkans: Four of the Serbian language (Montenegro, the Patriarchate of Carlovitz, the Archbishopric of Belgrade and the autonomous Church of Bosnia-Herzegovina), two Romanian speaking (Romania and Transylvania), and one Romano-Serbian (Rucovina).

Blondel needn’t have been so concerned about Tisza’s negotiations as Hungarians hostile to Romanian demands were themselves sabotaging any efforts to offer concessions. Certainly the reporting in the Pesti Hirlap of the text of a Romano-Serbian treaty, supposedly signed on 24th June 1913, described as aiming at dismemberment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was recognised by the official papers of Vienna and Budapest as an attempt to put an obstacle in the way of the talks.
