Russian researcher claiming Dacians were of Slavic descent banned from Romania

Romanian authorities have denied Russian researcher A.I. Umnov-Denisov’s entrance in Romania when he came for a conference about what he calls the Slavic origin of the Dacian people – the tribes known as the predecessors of the Romanian people.

The Russian researcher was sent back to Russia from the Bucharest International Airport Henry Coandă according to a Facebook post by the Russian Embassy. The Russian researcher had come to Romania to present his pan-Slavic thesis that claims that the Romanian language is not linked in any way to Latin, as it is commonly known and accepted.

The Russian researcher was also about to hold lectures at the Vasile Parvan archeology institute in Bucharest and the Andrei Saguna University in the Black Sea city of Constanta.
