Publisher Description: The sovietization of Bessarabia during and after WWII implied in part its Russification. The communist regime fought fiercely against anything that meant Romanian identity: the Romanian language, the Latin alphabet, or Romanian national history. Beginning with the first year of occupation, the Romanian elite - priests, civil officers, politicians, and professors - were arrested and persecuted. Tens of thousands were assassinated or sent in the Soviet Gulag or prisons. |
