Summary/Abstract: The author recounts the history of a resistance group led by Filimon Bodiu against Soviet occupation in Bessarabia. Soon after the reoccupation of Bessarabia by the Soviet troops, Bodiu was arrested. Succeeding to escape, he initiated a resistance movement against the Soviet regime with an eight to ten member group. The authorities annihilated the group in 1950-1951. Filimon Bodiu was killed in an encounter in November 1950. The survivors, his family members included, were tried in June 1951 and received harsh prison sentences.
