EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - The Soviet Red Army in Kishinev, 1940. Taken during the tumultuous era of World War II, this anonymous photograph offers a glimpse into the power dynamics and political landscape of the time. The image showcases rows upon rows of uniformed soldiers, standing tall with unwavering determination. Their presence symbolizes the might and influence of the Soviet Union under the leadership of dictator Joseph Stalin. As one gazes at this historic snapshot, it is impossible not to ponder on the immense impact that Stalinism had on Moldova (then known as Moldavia) and its capital city Chisinau. Furthermore, this photograph serves as a reminder of an important event - the Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina. These territories were annexed by Stalin's regime following the signing of Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact between Nazi Germany and USSR. Preserved within a private collection, this fine art piece carries with it layers upon layers of historical significance. It invites us to reflect on both personal narratives lost to anonymity and broader geopolitical shifts that shaped our world today.
