The work In Memoriam. In Memory of the Heroes Who Fell at the Nistru (1992) was developed within the Center for Culture and Military History and published under the auspices of the Government of the Republic of Moldova, the Bureau for Reintegration, and the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Moldova. Authors: Gheorghe Bălan, Vitalie Ciobanu, Gheorghe Cojocaru.

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.

Манаджемент археологического насследия и кража древностей в Республике Молдова

Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. IV [XIX], nr. 1, Arheologie. Istorie Antică

В данной статье автор анализирует вопрос об археологическом наследии и о нелегальной краже и продаже древностей в Республике Молдова. На основе нескольких примеров показывается солжность ситуации в области охраны археологичесго наследия, распространение феноменнов «чёрной археологии» и незаконная торговля древностей в Республике Молдова. Несмотря на то что национальное законодательство содержит административные и уголовные санкции направленные против тех которые совершают преступления, что ведут к повреждению и разрушению археологического наследия, до сих пор небыло никто небыл привлечён к ответсвенности. По неофициальным данным, в Республике Молдова, имеются более 1500 метал детекторов которые используются «чёрными архелолгами». Следы этих копателей можно заметить на самых известных памятников – Костешты, Яловенский район, Древний Орхей и.др. Незаконная торговля древностей в Республике Молдова реализуется в отрытую, доказательством может быть, так называемая «биржа» которая проводится в каждую суботу в здание ресторана «Garcorix», улица В. Александри 78 в городе Кищинэу, где можно найти помимо почтовых марок, современных монет и археологические предметы. В этой ситуации, правительство Республике Молдова должна, как можно быстрее разработать эфективную и долгосрочную программу по защите археологического наследия.
