The Moldovan Bloc in the Country Council: The Creator of Bessarabia’s Destiny

Summary/Abstract: In this study, the author analyses the role played by the Moldovan Bloc, the majority parliamentary faction in the Country Council (Sfatul Țării), in the years 1917–1918. The most important decisions of the Bessarabian legislative assembly, such as the declaration of the Moldovan Democratic Republic on 2 December 1917, the proclamation of its independence on 24 January 1918, the unification of Bessarabia with Romania on 27 March of the same year, were initiated and carried out by the deputies of the Moldovan Bloc, supported by other parliamentary representatives. The author points out that the history of the Country Council, including the activity of the Moldovan Bloc, must be understood and assumed in its entirety, as an inseparable part of the contemporary spiritual inheritance.
