SUMMARY.pdf Sergei Suleak "We return onto the Moldavian land as avengers". In the 65th year of the victory over fascism, the theme of the "Soviet Occupation" of Bessarabia arises once again. However, the events of those years show that the local population considered the Romanians as occupiers. After the beginning of WWII, the Bessarabians entered the ranks of the Red Army. In 1940, thirty-eight thousand Bessarabian soldiers deserted the Romanian army and joined the Red Army. Having occupied Bessarabia at the end of July 1941, the Romanian authorities created the province of Bessarabia. In the fall of 1941, forty-nine ghettos were created in Bessarabia and one hundred seventy in Transnistria. Over three hundred thousand Jews and fifty thousand gypsies perished in the concentration camps of Transnistria during the Romanian occupation. The war brought Moldavia irreparable damage. The economy of the land was totally destroyed and over six hundred fifty thousand people perished. Nikolai Babilunga "Voting with feet" by the population of Bessarabia in 1940 - a real referendum. During the years of the Romanian occupation the majority of Bessarabians did not consider themselves "Rumanians". The inhabitants of the Old Kingdom in the position of occupiers (bureaucrats, officers and policemen, colonizers and clergy, landowners and bankers, soldiers sent into the country from Romania itself, and a handful of collaborators linked to the occupiers) left Bessarabia in 1940. The basic population of Bessarabia did not think about leaving but greeted the liberating soldiers in exuberance with flowers, fruit and wine. Only an insignificant part of Bessarabians left - in total, no more than 2 %. This percentage includes the 1940 and 1944 exodus.

Mikhail Iurasov The question about the date of the baptism of the ancestors of the Rusins by St. Methodius. In a recent publication by the Austrian historian P. Shrainer of the Byzantine manuscript of the 15th C. (cod. Par. gr. 2303), which is preserved in Paris, it is reported that in the year 6390 from the creation of the world (881-882 AD) the Ros people was baptised. Although, judging by the text of the document, the author of the manuscript was a contemporary of the documented events, historians are not certain which group of Rus' are under question. The main reasons of the uncertainty of the specialists is because of the heyday of paganism in Eastern Europe at the time and the firm belief that the Rus' lived only in the mid Dnieper region. Along with this, exactly in 881-882 AD, St. Methodius journeyed from Moravia to Constantinople. During this journey the primary teacher of the Slavs and his students could have been in the basin of the Upper Tisa and in the lower Danube region descending along the Siret and Pruth rivers. Having baptised a part of the East Slavs, who were considered Rus', Methodius informed the Emperor Basil the Macedonian and Patriarch Photius about this event resulting in the news of the baptism of the Ros people. This could have been noted by one of the Byzantine chroniclers, a contemporary of the event. Maksim Zhikh Concerning the problem of the ethnic self-identity of the early Slavs: according to the work of Florin Kurta. On the basis of medieval sources of much research the author convincingly refutes several of the works of the known American Slavist Florin Kurta. Kurta considers that in general the Slavs did not exist before the 6th C. and that they were formed in the "shadow of Justinians fortresses and not in the bogs of the Pripiat". Their "making" (according to Kurta) "was a result not 191 Summary so much due to ethnogenesis as to the invention, fabrication and labelling by the Byzantine writers". However, the analysis of the sources doesn't give a basis to consider the opinion of the American researcher correct with regard to the beginning of the ethnogenesis of the Slavs. Mikhail Nesin The Galician Assembly under Iaroslav Osmomysl.
