Synopsis

This book delves into the turbulent period following the Russian Revolution, specifically exploring the annexation of Bessarabia by Romania in 1918. The author meticulously analyzes the circumstances surrounding the events leading up to the annexation, focusing on the actions and decisions of the Sfatul Tserey, Bessarabia’s National Assembly. The book goes beyond simply recounting the historical events, offering an in-depth examination of the political and social dynamics at play. The author scrutinizes the legitimacy of the Sfatul Tserey’s decisions, ultimately arguing that the annexation was not a true reflection of the Bessarabian people's wishes. He highlights the role of external forces, including the Romanian military and Allied Powers, in influencing the Sfatul Tserey's actions. The book serves as a powerful testament to the complexities of national self-determination and the potential for manipulation and coercion within a volatile historical context.
