The Republic of Moldova claims a European lineage reaching back in time long before its 14th century accession to statehood. In the 15th century, it managed against all odds to avoid being conquered by Islam and_albeit an intermittent vassal after 1485_it maintained its autonomy and was never turned into a province of the Ottoman Empire. After this period, however, Moldova would not be so fortunate, as it altered between Russian, Romanian, and Soviet control until it finally gained its independence in 1991 from the Soviet Union. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Moldova, through its chronology, introduction, appendixes, maps, bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, events, and institutions and significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects, traces the history of this small, but densely populated country, providing a compass for the direction it is heading.
Autorul dovedeşte o incredibilă abilitate de a trata critic sursele – foarte numeroase, diverse şi, de multe ori, contradictorii – şi de a asambla datele extrase într-o naraţiune pe cât de luxuriantă, pe atât de coerentă. Nu doar că reuşeşte să aducă foarte multe informaţii noi, dar şi relevă cu claritate ce se cunoaşte, ce se poate intui/bănui şi ce nu se poate spune în stadiul actual al cercetării. Sunt convins că lucrarea va avea o receptare justă, determinând schimbări majore de interpretare în ceea ce priveşte atât interbelicul, cât şi comunismul românesc.

The Republic of Moldova claims a European lineage reaching back in time long before its 14th century accession to statehood. In the 15th century, it managed against all odds to avoid being conquered by Islam and-albeit an intermittent vassal after 1485-it maintained its autonomy and was never turned into a province of the Ottoman Empire. After this period, however, Moldova would not be so fortunate, as it altered between Russian, Romanian, and Soviet control until it finally gained its independence in 1991 from the Soviet Union. The A to Z of Moldova, through its chronology, introduction, appendixes, maps, bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, events, and institutions and significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects, traces the history of this small, but densely populated country, providing a compass for the direction it is heading.
