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.
Interconfessional relations (orthodox-greek-catholic) during return to orthodoxy in 1918-1928. On the example of Transilvaniya)

During the period of 2000-2007 the author of the present article studied the problems regarding the return of a part of population of Transylvania from the Greco-Roman religion to Orthodoxy after the Union of 1918.
For the first time the author of the article brings in the scientific circulation new materials discovered in the Archives of Transylvania. He points out the existing theories at that time concerning the church property (“the assets of the Church are the property of Christ or of the poor people (p. 3), or are the property of the Pope and respectively of the episcopacies subordinated to the Pope etc.”). The author has examined the difficult process of redistribution of church assets when the parish decided to pass from Greco-Catholicism to Orthodoxy. Very often it has been necessary the intervention of the Romanian State in the solution of inter-confessional problems.
On the base of different materials and documents of that time, including those of the Romanian Parliament, the author demonstrates that the Transylvanians have faced with a lot of problems related with the return to the Romanian Orthodox Church, as for example, the obtaining of the christening acts, the maintenance of orthodox priests, the determination of the religion of children, etc.
