This work provides a retrospective of the events that led to the outbreak of the war on the Nistru, accompanied by photographs of the heroes who lost their lives in the battles to defend the independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova.
On March 2, 1992, the political conflict in the Nistru region escalated into a true fratricidal war. Under the fabricated pretext of "defending Russia's southern borders," political adventurers from the former Soviet metropolis encouraged Transnistrian separatism by arming secessionist paramilitary groups. At the same time, thousands of mercenary Cossacks and prisoners released early from jails, along with tanks and missiles, were sent against Independent Moldova, in a desperate attempt to revive the fallen empire.
Russia's undeclared war against the Republic of Moldova left behind hundreds of dead and wounded, shattered families, and villages in ruins. More than 50,000 peaceful residents from the conflict zone were forced to flee their homes, seeking refuge from the horrors of war.
For the sake of freedom and the future, Moldova's defenders faced death, enduring the hardships and humiliations of war.
During the Nistru war, 198 soldiers of the National Army and 89 personnel from the Ministry of Internal Affairs lost their lives, while 40 combatants went missing without a trace, and nearly 300 were left disabled.

Among Early Paleolith monuments on the territory of Moldova, Bobulești V site prominently ranks in the Răut river basin. It was situated on the surface of the Răut river third terrace between Gura Camencii and Bobulești villages, Florești region. On the surface of the terrace, badly destroyed by yearly floods, over three thousand of flinty objects – Early Paleolith nucleus, chips and tools typical for apprentice monuments of the region have been gathered. Dwellers of the site used Klektonian technique to chip off flint. Typological classification of the Bobulești V tools is made by the method of F. Bordes. Each object is described in order. Hollow and toothed tools, also many rostral shapes (N62) typical for Early Paleolith monuments of this region constitute a remarkable part of the tools.
Immediate analogies of the flint articles of Bobulești V site we find among Early Paleolith monuments Duruitoarea Veche, Mersyna, Ripiceni-Izvor, Luca-Vrubleveckaja which form a group of peoples sites of the Risskaya glaciation’s epoch.
