Summary/Abstract: Already on the Bessarabian territory, after its annexation to the U.R.S.S. (June 28, 2008), the Soviet political police bodies contributed decisively to setting up and consolidating the Soviet regime in that territory. Their basic task, in order to secure the loyalty of the population and implementation of the “Soviet reforms”, was to annihilate the “anti-Soviet elements” and also any activity hostile to the regime. They therefore resorted to intimidation, provocation, misleading, murder, deportation, expulsions, etc. All these things led to the death of hundreds of thousands of Bessarabians, and those who survived certainly had an unhappy life.
