Summary/Abstract: The evolution of the events at the end of the Second World War leaded to the retreat of the Romanian administration from Bessarabia and Bukovina. Among the retreated institutions were the State Archives in Chişinău and Chernovtsy relocated in Bibeşti, Gorj County, respectively, Micăsasa, Târnava Mică. The end of the World War forced Romania to enforce the stipulations of the Truce Convention signed in Moscow on September 12, 1945. Hence, the documents of the two evicted regional branches of the State Archives were handed over to the Soviet authorities in order to be transported to USSR. The documents preserved by the National Archives of Romania reflect this process and contain inventories of the restored archival patrimony.
