This remarkable portrait of Mihai Eminescu, created by artist Alexandru Gușanov, is based on one of the four known photographs of the poet. The photograph that inspired this portrait was taken in 1869 in Wenceslas Square, Prague, when Eminescu was only 19 years old. The oval composition and harmonious color palette highlight the prominent personality and charisma of the young poet, capturing an expression that conveys both melancholy and intellectual depth. Alexandru Gușanov (1929-2005), a Moldovan painter of Ukrainian origin, distinguished himself through his extensive work, comprising approximately 5,000 pieces - portraits, landscapes, and still life paintings. Settled in Moldova since 1945, Gușanov graduated from the Republican Art School "I.E. Repin" in Chișinău in 1952. His works were showcased in numerous national and international exhibitions and were highly appreciated in countries such as France, Hungary, Russia, and Yugoslavia. The artist dedicated a significant part of his career to creating portraits of historical and cultural figures, including Dimitrie Cantemir, Mihail Kogălniceanu, and Alexei Mateevici, which are part of the National Museum of History of Moldova's collection.
The subject of the portrait, Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889), is the most significant poet in Romanian literature, whose works reflect profound thought, sensitivity toward nature, and national identity. At the age of 19, when the photograph that inspired this portrait was taken, Eminescu was in the midst of his intellectual formation, preparing to become the iconic voice of Romanian culture. Among his most famous works is the poem Luceafărul (The Morning Star), a masterpiece of universal literature.

Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. III [XVIII], nr. 2, Istorie. Muzeologie
Bessarabian press at the beginning of XX century represents a complex and controversial reflexion of the events that took place in this area, events that are still difficult to understand for researchers.
Due to socio-political changes occurred after revolution 1905-1907, official press lost its control over media market of huge Imperia, including Bessarabian province. The evidences discussed in this paper, identify a large amount of newspapers titles between years 1900-1918 (mostly in Russian language) that belonged to individuals.
The paper represents a synthetic and documentary perspective on history of Bessarabian press in the context of imperial censorship. The phenomenon of press in tsarist imperia cannot be perceived and studied adequately, if not compared with censorship institutes. Our mission is to study and highlight the specifics of Bessarabian press at the beginning of XXth century. We have some reasons to fix these objectives: – Lack of historical data about titles of newspapers appeared in Bessarabia between years 1900-1918; – Identification of documentary sources, to identify the volume of information about press’ censorship in Bessarabia at the beginning of XXth century; – Recognition of special conditions of applying the tsarist censorship law in Bessarabia, on the basis of Manifest from October, 17, 1905.
