“The Book of Memory” preserves the face of Teodor Șișcanu, deported from Măcărești to Irkutsk in 1949

In the summer of 1949, the Soviet regime seized an entire family from the village of Măcărești and sent it more than 5,000 kilometres away, to the Irkutsk region. One of the deported children, Teodor Șișcanu, survives in an archival photograph published in The Book of Memory (Cartea Memoriei) — the official catalogue of the victims of totalitarianism. In the Ungheni district, the catalogue gathers around 2,900 names, and for those seized in 1949 the collective “address” had a single name — Irkutsk.

On Monday, 6 July, marking 77 years since the largest wave of deportations, dozens of Ungheni residents gathered at the Martyrs' Cross of the Nation, white flowers in hand. A memorial service, a moment of silence and a monologue about a night that has not ended yet. District council head Dionisie Ternovschi called keeping the memory alive a moral duty of every generation.

The state compensates assets confiscated by the Soviet regime. In Ungheni, the memory of the deportations counts thousands of names

The Government has allocated over 1.8 million lei to compensate six people whose assets the communist regime confiscated. The sum is small, but it opens a door to a vast and unfinished reckoning: in the Ungheni district alone, the official catalogue of the victims of totalitarianism gathers thousands of names, from more than 60 localities. The law gives victims and heirs the right to compensation — but how many actually claim it?
