Khotin Uprising

  • ... that Romanian soldiers quelling the Ukrainian insurgency of Khotin were told to dress up in the winter clothes of suspects whom they executed? Moisa, p. 14: Înainte de a porni la drum, generalul Cleante Davidoglu a ţinut un scurt discurs mobilizator în faţa soldaţilor, ce arăta situaţia complicată în care se aflau unităţile armatei române din Basarabia. Astfel, „haine nu avem să dăm, a spus el, dar a dat ordin ca să înainteze către Hotin...”. Discursul generalului Cleante Davidoglu a fost foarte ferm şi extrem de dur, fapt remarcat de Nicolae Coroiu. Trebuia pedepsiţi toţi cei care atentau la integritatea teritorială a tânărului stat român [...]. Astfel, povesteşte Nicolae Coroiu, li s-a cerut ca acolo „unde se găsesc arme la case să-i împuşte, să dea foc caselor şi să se îmbrace cu haine de la cei vinovaţi”. Intervenţia armatei române a fost una extrem de fermă la adresa celor care susţinuseră pe bolşevici sau pe franctirorii din zonă. ("Before heading out, General Cleante Davidoglu gave a short mobilizing speech in front of his soldiers, informing them of the complicated situation facing Romanian army units in Bessarabia. Accordingly, 'we have no clothes to give you, he told us, but he gave the order to advance on Hotin..." General Cleante Davidoglu's speech was firm and extremely tough, as Nicolae Coroiu remarks. One had to punish all those who conspired against the territorial integrity of the young Romanian state [...]. Then, Nicolae Coroiu recounts, they were asked that 'where they find weapons inside the homes to shoot them [the Ukrainians], to set the houses on fire, and to dress up in the clothes of the offending parties.' The Romanian army intervention was extremely tough on those who had supported Bolsheviks or partisans from that area.")
  • ... that veterans of the Khotin Uprising formed a "Bessarabian Brigade" of the Red Army, but refused to do battle against the Ukrainian People's Army? Oliynyk, p. 136
  • ... that the Bessarabian Jews hid Romanian soldiers in their synagogues during the Ukrainian insurgency of Khotin? Stănescu, p. 26: În timpul ocupației bolșevice, numeroși grăniceri și ostași români au fost ajutați de evrei să nu cadă în mâinile agresorilor, unii dintre ei fiind ținuți ascunși în sinagogile orașului ("Under the Bolshevik occupation, numerous Romanian border guards and soldiers were helped by the Jews in order to escape capture by the enemy, with some being kept hidden in the city synagogues")
