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.

The made investigation had the purpose reflect through the historical graphical sources the impact of foreign governing in Basarabia at the beginning of the XIXth century, and models of tsar administrative system for Basarabia region. During the investigation process the author has relayed on the historical graphical analysis and the com- parison of the situation of internal administrative system in the Country of Moldova as well as in the Russian Empire at beginning of the XIXth century.
By setting the evolution factors of a state organization form applied in the territories with heterogeneous population after the territorial conquests, it has been intended to reevaluate the effects created after such situations and the continuation of that big foreign administrative experience that would substitute the traditional system of Basarabia. The historical graphical reevaluation of tsar administrative activity from Basarabia certifies the fact that this foreign administrative practice in the area between Prut and Nistru at the beginning of the XIXth century had a negative influence on the beginning on the traditional model of local governing.
This fact is due to the methods used by the tsar authorities for the intensification of the process of implementation of its governing system in Basarabia region, and especially to the imperfection that was characteristic for Russian absolutism in that time.
