Moldova, Part 5
Description
An account of the resource
The Dniester Moldavian Republic is a small strip of land in between Moldova and Ukraine. Dniesterians have been trying to separate from Moldova since 1989, either by forming their own state or by joining Russia. They are not recognized by other countries as an independent state, and neither does Russia support their effort to join them. It is in Russia's best strategical efforts for the Dniester region (otherwise known as Transnisteria) to remain a part of Moldova because this way they can influence Moldova and Romania. Russia has had a brigade of "peace keeping troops" stationed in the Dniester region since 1989. This letter is written to the Joint Control Command (the name of the peace keepers) congratulating them on their 25 anniversary of keeping the peace between the Dniester Region and the rest of Moldova. The letter was written July 29, 2010.

Moldova, Part 3
Description
An account of the resource
This is a table equating groups of roman characters and cyrillic characters. In the 1920's, the Soviet Union attempted to unify Bessarabia (a region of Romania that used to be a part of the kingdom of Moldavia before the Ottoman Empire) and the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic (a region of the Soviet Empire). As a part of their attempt to create a new region, they applied the cyrillic alphabet to the language spoken by those of Moldovan descent. This language is virtually the same as Romanian and prior to the 1920's, was written in roman characters. In 1989, when the Moldova declared independence, the official language was changed back to being written in roman characters, except for in the region of Transnisteria, where the Cyrillic characters are still used to this day.

Moldova, Part 4
Description
An account of the resource
As the Soviet Union began its collapse, Moldova declared independence. Moldovan nationalists were giddy with freedom and proposed making Moldovan the national language. There was even talk of re-uniting with Romania. These changes did not sit well with the mostly Russian-speaking peoples east of the Dniester River, who subsequently declared independence from Moldova. A short war ensued that ended with the aid of the Soviet 14th army, which was still present on Transnistrian soil, and a peace treaty was signed. Since then Transnistria has been a de-facto independent state, recognized by none.

The topic of the resource
Russo-Turkish War of 1806-1812
Description
An account of the resource
In the Russo-Turkish War of 1806-1812, Imperial Russia annexed Bessarabia (formerly known as the Republic of Moldavia) from the Ottoman Empire. After noticing the weakening of the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire began encroaching on Bessarabia (or present-day Moldova) in 1806. After the Russian Empire began occupying the eastern half of Bessarabia (between the Prut and Dniester rivers), six years of warfare broke out between the Ottomas and the Russians. In the Treaty of Bucharest (May 16, 1812), the Ottoman Empire officially gave over the entire land to the Russian Empire, after owning it for 300 years prior. The annexation of Bessarabie marked an entirely new social, political, and cultural climate for the area. By gaining Bessarabia, the Russian Empire became a major power in the Danube River area and the Transcaucus Region.<br /><br />The image from below appears from an exhibit in the National Museum of Moldovan history, commemorating the annexation of Bessarabie to Russia as a moment of fusion between the East and the West. The image depicts Sultan Selim III of the Ottoman Empire on the top left side of the image giving away the land of Bessarabia to Russian Emperor Alexander I on the bottom right-hand side of the image.
