The Chișinău Diocesan Girls' School opened its doors on May 3, 1864, addressing a pressing need: in Bessarabia there were no institutions dedicated to the education of clergy's daughters. According to the 1864 circular, teaching was conducted in the Romanian language, a provision applied throughout the diocese. The school's first headmistress was Anastasia Rizo, of noble origin, invited by Archbishop Antonie.
The curriculum, approved by the Ministry of Public Education and the Chișinău Diocese, combined theoretical subjects with practical training. Students studied religion, reading and writing in Romanian, Slavonic, and Russian, arithmetic and exercises in calculation, world history and geography. The program was complemented by church singing and practical skills such as sewing, embroidery, knitting, as well as household management - baking bread and prosphora, preparing meals and preserves, caring for livestock, and cultivating gardens.
The composite, taken in 1911 at the studio of Z. N. Sumovski in Chișinău, depicts 29 graduates and 13 teachers. At the center are portraits of Bishop Serafim (Ciciagov), headmistress N. R. Mihelson, teacher V. E. Bejerian, and priests F. Ghiliarov and P. Jurikas. Among the teaching staff was Paraskovia Vasilievna Cuciurenko, a calligraphy teacher for 37 years, who in 1911 became senior educator and assistant headmistress. For her dedication, she was awarded the gold medal "For Long Service."
On the reverse of the vignette is a label from the store and workshop of frames, paintings, mirrors, and window glass owned by A. D. Kon'gova, Chișinău, Gogol Street no. 37, near the State Bank.
This graduation composite was donated at the end of 2025 to the National Museum of History of Moldova by the Dadiștian family from Drochia.
Deponierung Alexanders der Guten in Belgorod-Dnestrovsk
Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. I [XVI], nr. 2, Istorie. Muzeologie Chișinău, 2007
In der Artikel ist ein genug bekannte, doch kaum überprufte Schatzfund von Alexander der Gute (1400-1432) vorgestellt. Die späteste entdeckte Münze lasst uns diesen Schatz mit der ersten unabhängigen Regierungszeit von Stefan dem II zu datieren. Diese Datierung ist später als schon gewusst. Es ist fast sicher, dass das keine spezielle Deponierung war, trotz einer Geldkatze mit den Münzen, die in der Nähe vor den Haupttoren der Festung verloren wurde. Auch eine Kataloge der moldauischen numismatischen Funden des 15. Jahrhunderts aus Grabungen und Sammelungen der Periode 1970-1983 wurde veröffentlicht, die in dem Archäologischen Museum in Odessa sich befindet.
