The official representative of the department, Maria Zakharova, said today that Russia condemns the opening in Chisinau of a monument in honor of the Romanian soldiers who fought on the side of the Nazi troops. This is World War II. However, the website of the Ministry of Culture of Moldova, to which the network media drew attention, says that it is a restored monument of 1937 in memory of the victories of the Romanian army over the Austro-Hungarian troops in 1917. The ministry added that today this monument also perpetuates those Romanians who fell victim to the Stalinist regime.
In 1937, when the monument was erected, Chisinau was part of Romania.
