Informative Tracking of Ethnic Poles by Soviet Repressive Bodies on the Territory of the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic

Summary/Abstract: Through this article, the authors aimed to promote the historical truth about the atrocities committed by Soviet repressive bodies on the territory of the MSSR. Citing various reasons, the repressive bodies pursued the locals, considering them to be conspiring against the Soviet power. During the Soviet occupation of this region, many Poles living in Bessarabia became victims of political repressions, some of them being sentenced to death and others deported to Siberia by the communist totalitarian regime. The Soviet secret services were also active among the war prisoners in the camps of the MSSR. Due to the degrading conditions, some of them died during detention. Thus, the authors express the hope that the information provided in this article will be useful to Polish researchers involved in the process of identifying the victims of political repressions among ethnic Poles, as well as condemning the crimes committed by the Soviet totalitarian regime.
