 Total War Center Forums - View Single Post - Decisive battles that people don't talk about!
Moldavians: 30,000 - 40,000 out of which 10,000 - 15,000 standing army (mostly light cavalry or munted infantry), 2000 Szekelys and 1800 Hungarians (both sent by the Hungarian Kingdom, mostly infantry), 2000 Polish light cavalry (support from the Polish kingdom), 20 cannons, the rest being Romanian peasants.
The regular Moldavian infantry and the Hungarian and Szekely allies are on the hill dominating the bridge, behind the fortifications (trenches and wood and earth ramparts).
The Moldavian resistence probably helped the survival of the Hungarian kingdom for 50 years (the Hungarians were decisively defeated at Mohacs, in 1526) thus delaying the Turkish advance towards the Central Europe.

 The battle of Obertyn
The Moldavian army was routed and the remnants fled over the Moldavian border where the Polish were unable to pursue.
Knowing that the Moldavians had the advantage of a secure border and a superior tactical mobility, (see Moldavian pages) Tarnowski used the garrison of Gvodzots as a lure to pin the enemy to a specific place where he wanted to give battle and could prevent their immediate retreat.
Tarnowski's aim was to cut the Moldavian retreat to Obertyn and thus the route to Moldavia itself.

 A New Nation in Europe: Romanians or Moldavians?
The schism between the Romanian and Moldavian peoples and cultures occurred in the nineteenth century, when two separate bourgeois nations (in the communist nation theory, the third stage of development) were formed with the rise of capitalism.
That means that approximately two Moldavians in a hundred were city dwellers, and of course only a few them were culturally capable to grasp the meaning of the national idea (most of the people were illiterate even in the cities).
The Moldavian intellectuals and the remnants of the bourgeois strata retained the culture and the language.

 "Limba noastra" - essay on language in Moldova
One thesis said that Moldavian were an independent Eastern Roman language (Sergievski, about 1940), another one (Ceban) proclaimed that, because of intense contacts between Moldavians on the one hand and Russians and Ukrainians on the other, the formerly Roman language was being transformed into a Slavic one.
To Moldavian intellectuals, correct use of their native language was very important, because they knew that this was the only way to preserve their language as well as their national heritage.
Another point is, that many Moldavians left the rural areas and went to live in one of the Moldavian cities, leaving their relatives behind in the village (in 1940 13% of the total population in Moldavia lived in cities, the number increased up to 48% in 1990).

The existence of the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (MASSR, 1924-1940) served as a historical background for re-establishment of Trans-Dniester statehood as it is situated on the same territory.
In June 1990 Kishinev officials declared void and illegal the “Molotov-Rippentropp” Pact and the decree of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of 1940 on establishment of Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic on the territory of Bessarabia and MASSR, thus having recognised as lawful the re-establishment of statehood on the territory of the former MASSR.
Trans-Dniester Moldavian Republic has a legally elected President, the Republic’s highest legislative body is the Supreme Council of Trans-Dniester Moldavian Republic, the Govermnent is appointed and headed by the President.

 Tr@nsit 21 online: Sorin Antohi - Institute for Human Sciences
Moldavians and Wallachians, later Kingdom (Regat) Romanians, usually take their Roman origins to be one ingredient among two (with the Dacian "substratum") or more (with Slavic and other elements added to the melting pot), and generally reject the Transylvanian School's (highly politicized) theories and practices.
This form of national wishful thinking dates back to the 1840s, when a large group of Moldavians and Wallachians were attending Paris schools and universities, and were developing, under the charismatic influence and protection of Jules Michelet and with the steadfast political-diplomatic support of Edgar Quinet, the project of modern Romania.
In this project, the West was to play a paramount role: irrespective of their various ideological creeds, political allegiances, and vested interests, the Romanian generation of 1848, as well as the ones that followed up to WWI, agreed on a program of systematic imitation of the West.

The Moldavians will be equally happy to serve you mamaliga with ‘chiselita’ (stewed fruit), with fresh sour cherries, cherries, grapes or watermelon.
So summarize, that meal is an ideal companion to any garnish, to say nothing of the original Moldavian grape wine: its taste becomes spicier, brighter and much more pronounced, should you top a good glass of wine with a slice of hot mamaliga and sheep cheese.

Nationalization of the land and free distribution of it among the peasantry was the key-note of the Russian Revolution.
This resolution, passed by the Moldavian soldiers and officers on the Roumanian front, meeting in Jassy Oct. 10-12, 1917, is characteristic: "All the land of Bessarabia becomes the property of the people, and passes without compensation into the hands of those who individually work it.
