This July 6 marks the 74th anniversary of the biggest wave of Stalinist deportations. On the night of July 5-6, 1949, the Soviet regime rounded up tens of thousands of Bessarabian peasants, took them to forced labor camps in Siberia, and confiscated their property. Between 1941 and 1951, there were three waves of deportations, and historians estimate that the total number of Bessarabian deportees would be between 80 and 120 thousand.

Today, several demonstrations dedicated to commemorating the victims of deportations are organized in localities throughout the country. The program of actions includes rallies, document exhibitions and scientific conferences at museums, libraries and university halls.
