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.

On a museum exhibition “The Universe of Calendars”

Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. V [XX], nr. 2, Istorie. Muzeologie

In the end of 2010 the National Museum of Archaeology and History of Moldova opened the exhibition “The Universe of Calendars”. It was a retrospective review of about 50 calendars published in Russia and Romania from the second half of 19th century to 1940s. Most of the items have never been exhibited.

Organizers of the exhibition did not intend to display the museum collection of calendars in the whole. For the exhibition there were selected the best examples, and the most valuable of them are the Novorossiysky Calendar for 1852, Calendru anticu for 1863, the Calendar for All for 1870, the Illustrated Address Calendar of the Bessarabian Province for 1913 and some others.

The exhibition presented to the visitors a calendar as a kind of publication, focusing on the calendars in book form. At the same time, it was an attempt of a scientific approach to the study of calendars that allowed seeing in them not only a historical material, but also a cultural phenomenon.
