The land on which at present lies the Republic of Moldova was populated since ancient times by people called “daci” and it is believed that its name comes from the the words “molta” (i.e. “multum” from latin) and “dava” (fortress). Another theory says that the name was taken from the name of the River which at present flows through Romania. In the medieval époque there were three Romanian regions : Muntenia, Moldova and Transilvania. Each region complied to its own reign and acted as a separate country. Moldova comprised territories between Carpathian Mountains (border with Transylvania), Nistru (Dniester, bordered with Poland) , The Black Sea, Danube, Siret and Milcov. For a long period of time it was fighting for its independence which was jeopardized by the Ottoman Empire. One of the Moldovan reigns, Stephen the Great (Stefan cel Mare) remained a strong personality in the Romanian history for his brave victories in numerous fights for Moldova’s independence. He kept his country independent and proud through all years of his reign. After the death of Stephen the Great his place was taken by weaker personalities who were not able to oppose resistance to the ottoman assaults. Thus, Moldova was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in 1512 and subjugated to it for another 300 years. After year 1700 wars between The Ottoman and Russian Empires for Romanian regions were a common thing. As a result, in 1812, the Russian Empire managed to win the part of Moldova named “Bessarabia” which comprised regions between the Prut and Dniester Rivers (where at present lies the Republic of Moldova) . Thus, for another 100 years Bessarabia was part of the Russian Empire. Only after world war I (year 1918) were all Romanian countries able to reunite into one country. However, it was not meant to last long and in 1940, the Soviet Union occupied Bessarabia. After the breakup of the Soviet Union, in 1991, The Republic of Moldova becomes an independent country with its first president Mircea Snegur. At present Moldova is a communist country with Vladimir Voronin as its president.
