The Romanian Military Cemetery from Bălţi– Thoughts about Fallen Soldiers

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article analyzes the attempts to falsify the history of the Second World War, first of all the tendency to lay equal responsibility for its origin on Hitler’s Germany and the Soviet Union, as well as to consider Socialism as Nazism. The author disagrees with the opinions of those who misinterpret the liberation mission of the Red Army in the countries of the Eastern Europe and aim at presenting it as occupation. The steps taken to rehabilitate and praise war criminals, Nazi’s allies and traitors are criticized. In connection with the 70 th anniversary of defeat of the Romanian, Hungarian and Italian forces in the Stalingrad battle, the author points out historical responsibility of several politicians, such as I. Antonescu and M. Horthy, who for the sake of territorial acquisitions condemned their From 1944 on, the Russian Soviet authorities pursued in the Republic of Moldova – aka the Romanian province of Bessarabia – a merciless policy of erasing all Romanian military cemeteries, in total disregard of the internationally accepted principles. Such is the case of the military cemetery in the town of Băl
i where Romanian soldiers fallen during WWI were buried. Thus the hatred against any Romanian historical presence was extended even to those soldiers who fought the Germans on the same side with the Russian soldiers. As a general rule politics should respect all the fallen soldiers who did their duty fighting for their country. Meanwhile all those political and military leaders who did carry out criminal activities of conquest and terror should not be glorified.
