A FORGOTTEN NAME: GENERAL EUGEN COTIUJINSCHI

Summary/Abstract: Romanians have a long history of fighting for national unity and recognition as a nation. Despite being divided by power-hungry empires, they have shown immense courage and heroism throughout the centuries. Many military figures have emerged from this struggle, some of whom are well-known from school. Unfortunately, others have been forgotten, especially those who were intentionally erased from collective memory during the communist period for ideological reasons. General Eugen Cotiujinschi is one such figure who deserves to be remembered and rehabilitated. Despite being unfairly overlooked, his life story is one that should be shared with the public. Cotiujinschi was the son of a Moldovan priest and rose to become a Lieutenant General in the Russian imperial army, participating in three wars. His example is one that can inspire younger generations today.
