Abstract:
This paper highlights the disastrous impact of the Tsarist and Soviet regime on the religious cultural heritage of Bessarabia. It essentially removes the negative impact on the ethno-cultural and educational system, through the policy of forced Russification of the indigenous population. The atrocities committed are elucidated by the destruction of cultural objects as well as religious edifices and their transformation into social-sports objectives, psychiatric hospitals, agricultural warehouses, wine-wine and painting exhibition halls, etc. Atheistic politics left its negative mark by marginalizing those who resisted the phenomenon at risk of being executed or sentenced to years of imprisonment. Not only the church faces fell under this incidence, but also the population who resisted hard to save the cult objectives. A telling example serves the oppression of the population who resisted not to allow the closure of the Răciula Monastery (which took place in the late 50 th century). XX, ) with negative social repercussions resulting in loss of life and massive deportations and long-term detentions.
