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.
Prince Mihail Sturdza and his relations with Russia
Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. VIII [XXIII], nr. 2, Istorie. Muzeologie
Mihail Sturdza, prince of Moldavia from 1834 to 1849, was a controversial figure in the modern history of Moldova. Mihail Sturdza was not just a political instrument of Russia in Romanian principalities, nor a governor of an ordinary Russian guberniya that was in his administration. Russia had created sufficient means to exercise control over the principalities, especially through the Russian consuls, as well as through information services. Prince Mihail Sturdza managed to skillfully use the protectorate of Russia to create political ascendancy in Moldova.
Close cooperation with the tsarist authorities, services rendered to Russia in the war of 1828-1829, personal contribution to the development of the Organic Regulations constituted sufficient evidences of Mihail Sturdza’s loyalty to Russia for the protectorate. He was supported from Petersburg by his cousins Alexandru Sturdza (1791-1854), one of the greatest theologians of the time, one of former advisers of Tsar Alexander I, and Ruxandra Sturdza. During his reign, he was trying to get out from under Russian tutelage, which he failed. Despite this, he enjoyed the consideration of Russian officials.
