    .

    In interwar

    Assembly of Deputies after elections in 1926, being returned in 1931 as an affiliate of the Democratic Nationalist Party. Topciu served additional terms during which he veered from agrarianism to fascism, affiliating with the National Agrarians (1932), the National Christian Party (1935), and the Union of National Awareness (1939). Touring the Budjak
    subregion, he had a major contribution in canvassing Gagauz votes for Romania's far-right groups.

    Topciu was finally recruited by

    Axis Powers. Having been chased out of Bessarabia by a Soviet invasion in 1940, he became an organizer of formal and informal efforts to assist his fellow refugees. Topciu managed to survived the establishment of a Romanian communist regime in 1948, though he was still harassed and had to pay a fine for his involvement with the black market; he lived his final decade in obscurity, at his new home in Bucharest
    .

    Biography

    Early life and Sfatul

    Topciu was born on September 2, 1888, among the Gagauz people in

    Asia Minor."[6] After training as a lawyer at an unspecified university, he became an activist on behalf of the Bessarabian peasants and frequented the political circles of Kishinev (Chișinău).[7] Like the fellow Gagauz Pavel Guciujna, he was also sympathetic to the aspirations of Bessarabian Romanians—including their quest for autonomy inside the Russian Republic, after the February Revolution. He was acquainted with activist Gherman Pântea, who allegedly followed Topciu's advice when meeting with Vladimir Lenin, leader of the Russian Bolsheviks, in April 1917, to probe him about the far-left's views on the issue of national determination.[8]

    Topciu also supported this autonomist agenda while attending the Congress of Bessarabian Co-operativists in late 1917.[9] On September 3, 1917, he became chairman of the provisional council in Bender (Tighina) Uyezd.[10] He was assigned as a peasant delegate to the Provisional Council of the Republic in Petrograd on October 7, but lost his seat with the Bolshevik coup of November 7.[11] Topciu's political adversaries claimed to have uncovered evidence that he had come to oppose Romanian nationalism as embodied by the National Moldavian Party, forming, and presiding upon, a committee of the Bulgarians and Gagauz. A 1926 note in Cuvântul newspaper had it that Topciu, "a native Gagauz, belonged back in 1917 to a Bulgaro-Gagauz soviet that had been set up in southern Bessarabia to fend off the Moldavians."[12] In 1937, Dreptatea republished a manifesto used by Topciu in his campaign for the legislative election of October–November 1917, contesting a Bessarabian seat in the Russian Constituent Assembly. This document spoke about "the Moldavians" as engaged in an usurpation of Russian statehood and in a forced Romanianization of the Bessarabian province, comparing them to the Black Hundreds.[13]

    Following

    republican militia; this mission ran parallel with the Romanian military intervention in Bessarabia, with Topciu also acting as a liaison for the Romanian Land Forces in Tighina.[16]

    Topciu's mandate in Sfatul ended on May 18, 1918, when the Bulgarian-and-Gagauz delegation replaced him with another community member.

    Assembly of Deputies list for the legislative election of March 1922 in Tighina, with Bulgarians Nicolae Petrov and Iacov Cunev as the runners-up.[23]

    Romanian agrarianism

    Topciu's sympathy toward Romanian nationalism was made explicit after 1926, when he became a contributor to Onisifor Ghibu's magazine, România Nouă.[24] A February 1934 article by Ion Dimitrescu suggests that his political colleagues were much amused by his continued inability to speak proper Romanian—his "highly original" phonetics and his "boorish accent that's not yet fully polished" (accentul bocciu insuficient dat la tocilă).[25] The same point was raised by parliamentary reporter C. Balș, who commented that Topciu was "still not reconciled with [Romanian] grammar".[26] As Topciu's political rival, Virgil Madgearu once confronted him about his linguistic incompetence, to which Topciu replied (noting Madgearu's own non-Romanian origin): "I speak Gagauz, and you speak Aromanian [sic], everyone speaks as best they can."[27]

    Topciu maintained his political profile as the old Uyezd was transformed into a Tighina County, serving as leader of he PP's county lodge. In this capacity, he supported an alliance with the National Liberals for the August 1925 elections to the agricultural chambers—in contrast to other PP militants in Bessarabia, including his Gagauz colleague Guciujna.[28] Topciu himself was sent to the Assembly after elections in May–June 1926, in what Cuvântul labeled as a surprising victory—"Romanians are astonished, while foreigners poke fun; as well they should."[12] He came in first of four PP deputies for that county, with Vladimir Chiorescu, Ion M. Leon, and Nicolae Stoianoglo holding the other three seats, and with Madgearu of the opposition Peasants' Party taking a remaining fifth seat.[29] Topciu earned more attention and ridicule from Cuvântul journalists in July, when he took the rostrum to declare that: "It was I who united Bessarabia with Romania!"[30]

    A former deputy after the elections of July 1927, Topciu found himself investigated by the Brătianu cabinet. In August, his home in Tighina was raided by the local prosecutor's office. Various documents were confiscated, and Topciu's arrest was announced as imminent.[31] On March 11, 1928, an "enduring animosity" between the him and Leon turned violent. Reportedly, Topciu had taken the liberty of presiding a meeting of the county council, of which he was not a member; this irregularity upset Leon, who stormed into the hall and hit Topciu, until being evicted by the Romanian Police.[32]

    In May 1930, Topciu was a Tighina County delegate at the PP congress in Bucharest.[33] By the time of new elections in June 1931, he had rallied with the Democratic Nationalist Party (PND) list, or "National Union", emerging to take the third Assembly seat in Tighina, after Leon and Tancred Constantinescu.[34] His defection disorganized the local PP; in August, academic Florin Sion was called in from Iași to act as his successor.[35] Commuting to Bucharest, in November Topciu helped form a cultural and political society called Agrarian Youth of Romania, which was chaired by Nicolae D. Cornățeanu.[36] In early 1932, he was also chairman of the Tighina Agricultural Syndicate. In this capacity, he supervised the public consultation at Tighina's Capitol Cinema, during which his colleagues complained about the effects of the Great Depression and the overall unsoundness of debt relief policies imposed by the PND.[37]

    Topciu was by then a supporter of poet-activist Octavian Goga, who discarded the PP to establish his own National Agrarian Party (PNA). The PND leader and Prime Minister, Nicolae Iorga, noted on April 10, 1932 that Topciu and Sergiu Niță had been "beguiled" (smomiți) by Goga, and were abandoning the governmental arc altogether.[38] Beginning in that month, Topciu helped to form PNA sections in Gagauz areas, and "managed to attract many of his brethren to the party."[39] Memoirs left by Gh. Cuza claim that he was drawn into the new group by its title, which suggested a commitment to mainline agrarianism, rather than by its hard right-wing component.[40]

    Topciu was frustrated by the law which awarded land to all pro-Romanian members of Sfatul, since he was technical disqualified by his absence from the union vote. Like Novakov, he sued the Ministry of Agriculture in 1928. Topciu's case was reviewed in February 1932, when he was awarded a 50-hectare estate in Ceadîr-Lunga, and again in August, when he was ordered to hand it back.[41] The former Uyezd chairman headlined the PNA list in the Assembly election of July 1932, being described in Dimineața daily as "quite well-known in the villages, and surrounded by valuable men".[42] Overall, the PNA only took 1,783 votes and eighth place in that county, which registered a major win for the National Peasants' Party (PNȚ), with 10,770 votes;[43] the group was at the time overshadowed by the ultra-nationalist National-Christian Defense League (LANC), a matter which contributed to Topciu's defeat.[44] Topciu was again a Tighina candidate in December 1933. He took 12.4% of the vote, and was confirmed on Christmas Day as the only opposition candidate to take a seat in that precinct.[45] Upon winning, he complained that the election of his PNA colleagues had been prevented by the Duca cabinet, with direct intimidation by the Gendarmes.[25]

    Radicalization

    Around that time, Topciu was associating with

    anti-Romanian" and "presently a Nazi",[13] Topciu was credited by Gh. Cuza, by then his PNC superior, with having "provided the party with massive support from the minority population of the county."[49]

    On August 25, 1935, Chișinău hosted the first PNC Bessarabian congress. This affair was largely staged by Topciu: "To transport people to Chișinău, he ordered 6 railway wagon to be brought in at Tighina station, and 2 wagons at Ceadîr-Lunga station".[50] During the proceedings, he also presented the only female affiliate—described by Cuza as "a Gagauz or Bulgarian woman, though I can't say for sure"; "the unfamiliar melody of her speech brought a smile to the faces of those sitting behind the podium."[51] Cuza and the PNC's Bessarabian leader, Constantin N. Tomescu, initially quarreled with Topciu, who, as an old-time agrarianist, "did not understand the need for a new rhythm of national struggle [and] did not want to submit to the strict discipline of Cuzist ideology". This conflict gave way to a "close camaraderie, [in which] I learned to appreciate his qualities and flaws."[40] The two men were publicly associated with each other and with Nichifor Robu as early as January 1936, when they toured Suceava County to campaign in the by-elections. The local National Liberal paper, Glasul Bucovinei, alleged at the time that they had engaged in electoral intimidation, including by temporarily "kidnapping" in Cacica the PNȚ candidates, namely Mihail Ghelmegeanu and Teofil Sauciuc-Săveanu.[52]

    Gh. Cuza viewed his Gagauz associate as fully compatible with the PNC doctrines, since these addressed all "Romanian minorities of the Christian faith, with the aim of fraternal cooperation in the name of the common good." The shared platform focused on

    Roman Catholicism. The Orthodox mouthpiece, Telegraful Român, praised him as a Romanian patriot.[55]

    Meanwhile, Topciu's conflicts over agrarian issues has sparked a national controversy: in 1934, he accused Gurie Grosu, the Orthodox Metropolitan of Bessarabia, of having staged an illegal land grab in Bumbăta and Rezina.[56] On June 4, 1936, he contributed to another scandal involving the bishopric, after he showed up at the church meeting in Chișinău alongside Tomescu, who was wearing a swastika lapel. The PNȚ's Pan Halippa protested against this "pagan" display; Topciu violently interrupted his speech, being in turn struck down by Haralambie Marchetti.[57] Nic. Ionescu, of the nationalist monthly Prut și Nistru, saw Topciu's intervention as an attempt to restore order, against Halippa and Guciujna: "There was one man who held up a finger, and who instantly brought peace and quiet to the room; his name is Topciu. He improvised his speech on the spot, but it came out logically. He never riled up the crowd, and never lost his temper."[58] On September 27, Topciu and Colonel Eugen Adamovici presided upon a Comrat rally of the PNC, where Topciu received the organizational banner. On the occasion, he declared his loyalty to the Romanian Crown, informing the Gagauz public that Christians were engaged in a defensive war against "the kikes"—he viewed Jewish subversion as responsible for both the Soviet experiment and the Spanish Civil War; he also proposed a restructuring of the agricultural chambers and co-operatives, beginning with the elimination of Jewish business interests.[59]

    In the local elections in July 1937, Topciu ensured a comfortable win for the Tighina PNC, including a seat for himself on the county council.[60] Just days after, his stances created schisms within his PNC chapter: former LANC members rebelled against his leadership, describing him as a profiteer who had capitalized on their popularity. They also resented him for assigning political offices to the newer PNC recruits—including Vladimir Sereda, formerly of the PNȚ.[44] Topciu described the controversy as a one-man intrigue by Vladimir Croitoru, whom he expelled from the party in September; by then, Sereda had been confirmed as the PNC organizer in Bulboaca.[61] Ahead of a new legislative election in December, he toured Bessarabia alongside Cuza and two Bulgarian PNC-ists, Gheorghe Colac and Vladimir Novițchi. He was prevented from campaigning in places such as Comrat by the terminal illness of his first wife,[62] Evdochia. She ultimately died in August of that year.[63]

    FRN ascent and downfall

    Topciu was returned to the Assembly as the only PNC deputy elected for Tighina (with 19.9% of the vote).[64] In the aftermath, he emphasized national unity, arguing that: "the National Christian Party is here to assist each and every man, regardless of their political persuasion."[65] On January 31, 1938, he was tasked with drafting Tighina's PNC lists for the scheduled elections.[66] Liberal democracy was ended within less than a month by King Carol II, who staged a self-coup and promulgated his authoritarian constitution, including a nominal ban on all parties. Topciu found himself prosecuted for still engaging in partisan propaganda after that date, but was acquitted in June by a Bessarabian military court.[67] Before the end of the year, Carol began exercising his dictatorial authority through the National Renaissance Front (FRN). A secretary of A. C. Cuza's Union of National Awareness, Topciu followed the other party leaders in joining the FRN during October 1939.[68]

    Topciu took a seat in the Senate of Romania in the one-party elections of June 2, 1939. Selected as a representative of the agricultural profession,[69] he co-sponsored legislation to fully reestablish a system of guilds.[70] Alongside Halippa and other, he was a guest for the Feast of the Baptism celebration held at Chișinău on January 6, 1940, used by Carol as a celebration of Greater Romania.[71] In February 1940, he was also serving as manager of the Winemakers' Syndicate; in this capacity, he helped draft a new law on the protection of Romanian wine.[72] On January 7, he had married a second time, to Lucreția Fășie-Ralea,[73] sister of the sociologist and FRN politician Mihai Ralea.[56] He became a legal tutor of her two sons from a previous marriage, Radu and Mircea Fășie.[74] Carol was considering a limited reward for his "Cuzists", promising them three prefectures, two of which were in Bessarabia—Topciu was supposed to lead Tighina County, and Gh. Cuza was assigned Bălți County.[75] On February 11, the king reduced his offer, only assigning offices to Topciu and Istrate Micescu (the latter of whom refused all such appointments, in protest against what he saw as a marginalization of the Cuza faction).[76]

    Topciu abandoned his Bessarabian properties on June 28, 1940, immediately after the region was stormed into and annexed by the Soviets; as Duminică notes, he feared arrest by the NKVD.[41] This happened to Major Zeletin, his right-hand man at the Tighina PNC, who was detained at Vorkutlag until 1955.[77] Topciu moved permanently to Bucharest, where he had become a landlord, having built himself a 6-storey mansion on the corner of Tunari and Eminescu Streets.[78] On July 4, the Gigurtu cabinet was formed, signaling Romania's attempted rapprochement with Nazi Germany, and he joined it as Undersecretary of State for Agriculture.[56] On July 7 he helped establish a Committee for Assisting Refugee Agriculturalists, tied to the Union of Agricultural Syndicates and overseen by Garoflid.[79]

    The Carol–Gigurtu regime came down on September 4, 1940, when

    Axis Powers on the Eastern Front and a temporary (1941–1944) recovery of Bessarabia. In mid-1942, he published two political essays about the positioning of Romania's agrarian economy within the German New Order. As paraphrased by Universul daily, these advised Romanians to "support the efforts undertaken by our most patriotic Marshal Antonescu, who has committed himself to making Romania more beautiful and stronger."[82] Immediately following the anti-Antonescu coup of August 1944, he was detained at a camp in Caransebeș as a political captive, but was soon after allowed to go free.[56] In the aftermath, he continued to assist Gagauz refugees such as Ion Capsâz of Tomai, who became doorman of his Tunari offices, and who, in turn, assisted others fleeing the Budjak.[83]

    Along with all other officials of the 1940–1944 regimes, Topciu was legally stripped of his voting rights and eligibility ahead of the November 1946 election.[84] In April of that year, the Romanian People's Tribunals, which investigated war crimes, had issued an invitation for "D. Topciu of Bucharest, last known domicile at No 6 Tunari Street" to participate in an interrogation.[85] He survived the establishment of a Romanian communist regime in early 1948, but was arrested in June under suspicions of sabotage,[86] and prosecuted in October. The charges referred to his status as a manager of Nistriana-Matex Society in 1941–1944. Specifically, he and other six people, including a Dumitru D. Topciu, who was his son,[41] were due to face trial for having allegedly trafficked "thousands of meters of silk" on the black market.[87] He was sentenced in December 1948 to pay a fine of 6,000 lei; his son was not charged.[3] Topciu is known to have lived his final years in Bucharest, dying there in 1958.[88] He was buried at the local Bellu Cemetery.[56] The politician was survived by Lucreția, to her death in November 1974,[89] and by his two children—Dumitru Jr, a trained lawyer, and Eugenia, who worked as a physician.[56]
