History[edit]
Main articles: History of Chiinu and Timeline of Chiinu
Moldavian period[edit]
Founded in 1436 as a monastery village, the city was part of the Principality of Moldavia (which,
starting with the 16th century fell under the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire). At the beginning of
the 19th century Chiinu was a small town of 7,000 inhabitants.
In 1812, in the aftermath of the Russo-Turkish War (18061812), the eastern half of Moldavia was
ceded to the Russian Empire and Chiinu became the capital of the newly
annexed oblast of Bessarabia.
Imperial period[edit]
Chiinu, 1889
By 1834, an imperial townscape with broad and long roads had emerged as a result of a
generous development plan, which divided Chiinu roughly into two areas: the old part of the town,
with its irregular building structures, and a newer city center and station. Between 26 May 1830 and
13 October 1836 the architect Avraam Melnikov established the Catedrala Naterea Domnului with a
magnificent bell tower. In 1840 the building of the Triumphal arch, planned by the architect Luca
Zaushkevich, was completed. Following this the construction of numerous buildings and landmarks
began.
On 28 August 1871, Chiinu was linked by rail with Tiraspol, and in 1873 with Corneti. Chiinu-
Ungheni-Iai railway was opened on 1 June 1875 in preparation for the Russo-Turkish War (1877
1878). The town played an important part in the war between Russia and Ottoman Empire, as the
main staging area of the Russian invasion. During the Belle poque, the mayor of the city was Carol
Schmidt, considered one of Chisinau's best mayors. Its population had grown to 92,000 by 1862,
and to 125,787 by 1900.[11]
Pogroms and pre-revolution[edit]
Main article: Kishinev pogrom
In the late 19th century, especially due to growing anti-Semitic sentiment in the Russian Empire and
better economic conditions, many Jews chose to settle in Chiinu. By the year 1900, 43% of the
population of Chiinu was Jewish one of the highest numbers in Europe.[citation needed]
A large anti-Semitic riot took place in the town on 67 April 1903, which would later be known as
the Kishinev pogrom. The rioting continued for three days, resulting in 47 Jews dead, 92 severely
wounded, and 500 suffering minor injuries. In addition, several hundred houses and many
businesses were plundered and destroyed. The pogroms are largely believed to have been incited
by anti-Jewish propaganda in the only official newspaper of the time, Bessarabetz ().
Mayor Schmidt disapproved of the incident and resigned later in 1903. The reactions to this incident
included a petition to Tsar Nicholas II of Russia on behalf of the American people by the US
President Theodore Roosevelt in July 1905.[12]
On 22 August 1905 another violent event occurred: The police opened fire on an estimated 3,000
demonstrating agricultural workers. Only a few months later, 1920 October 1905, a further protest
occurred, helping to force the hand of Nicholas II in bringing about the October Manifesto. However,
these demonstrations suddenly turned into another anti-Jewish pogrom, resulting in 19 deaths.[12]
Romanian period[edit]
Following the Russian October Revolution, Bessarabia declared independence from the crumbling
empire, as the Moldavian Democratic Republic, before joining the Kingdom of Romania. Romania
granted important subsidies to its province and initiated large scale investment programs in the
infrastructure of the main cities in Basarabia and Northern Bucovina, expanded the railroad
infrastructure and started an extensive program to eradicate illiteracy. Only with the advent of
modern technology and industrialization, it slowly rose into prominence.[citation needed]
As of 1919, Chiinu had an estimated population of 133,000.[13] Between 1918 and 1940 the center
of the city undertook large renovation work. In 1927 the Stephen the Great Monument, by the
sculptor Alexandru Plmdeal, was erected.
World War II[edit]

In the chaos of the Second World War Chiinu was almost completely destroyed.[citation needed].A
devastating earthquake occurred on 10 November 1940. The epicenter of the quake, which
measured 7.3 on the Richter scale, was in eastern Romania and subsequently led to substantial
destruction.
After scarcely one year, the assault on the newly created Moldavian SSR by the German and
Romanian armies began. Beginning with June 1941 the city came under bombardment by Nazi air
raids. However, Romanian sources assign most of the responsibility for the damage to Soviet
NKVD destruction battalions, that operated in Chiinu until 17 July 1941, when it was captured by
invading Axis forces.[14]
Following the German occupation, the city suffered from the Nazi extermination policy of its Jewish
inhabitants, who were transported on trucks to the outskirts of the city and then summarily shot in
partially dug pits. The number of Jews murdered during the initial occupation of the city is estimated
at approximately 10,000 people.[15]
As the war drew to a conclusion, the city was once more pulled into heavy fighting as German and
Romanian troops retreated. Chiinu was taken by the Red Army on 24 August 1944 as a result of
the Jassy-Kishinev Operation.
After the war, Bessarabia was fully integrated into the Soviet Union. Most of Bessarabia became the
Moldavian SSR with Chiinu as its capital; around 30% of Bessarabia became parts of
the Ukrainian SSR.
