Summary/Abstract: This text is an uncensored study carried out in August 1965 and filed in the Central National History Archives, more specifically in the database of the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party (the Administration Section). This study was most probably carried out by the historians working for the Documentation and Research Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the purpose of informing the Romanian delegation that was to go on an official visit to Moscow between September 3 and September 11, 1965. The document is titled "Bessarabia, Bucovina, Hertza Region, Chilia Channel and the Snake Island” and does not take into account the taboos of the official history of that time. Given the tense situation between Bucharest and Moscow, the problem of territory theft committed by the Soviet Union in 1940 (Bessarabia, North Bucovina, Hertza Region and 5 islands in the Danube Delta) and on February 4, 1948, was not even suggested, even if it was a breach of the Paris Peace Treaty in 1947 by annexing the Snake Island.
