Frontiera de la Prut în perioada postbelică (aspecte istorico-etnologice)

  • Subiect: The border on the river Prut in the post-war period (historical and ethnological aspects) The border on the River Prut is a direct result of military aggression and territorial expansion of the Russian Empire, succeeded by the USSR. The Soviet occupation of Bessarabia separated the Romanians from both sides of the River Prut, imposing numerous social, economic, cultural and spiritual restrictions. Communist authorities from the USSR created a secure border regime on the River Prut, comparable to the fortifications of the Soviet camps. The frontier on the River Prut disturbed the traditional course of life in the villages of the Prut Valley, restricting their rights and freedom of movement, their daily habitat, economic practices, spiritual and cultural activities. Paradoxically, the securing and militarization of the border between two socialist states, Romania and the USSR, was accompanied by a fierce Soviet propaganda on the inviolability of the border, provided by the border guards supported by the citizens of the localities on the Bessarabian side of the Prut. The institutionalization of the border included multiple technical barriers, pickets and border posts, while the symbol of the separation of the brothers on both sides of the River Prut, that lasted for decades, became the barbed wire that was dismantled only in 2010. In the Prut Valley communities, many myths on border issues persisted, and after the fall of communism, a process of demythization and creation of new myths, inspired by the new realities of life on the European Union border, followed. The River Prut continues to separate Romanians from its both sides geographically, while at the same time bringing them closer spiritually, culturally, but less economically. At the moment, the will of Romanians on the both sides of the River Prut, as an emanation of the sovereignty of the people, is a priority and is determinative, and on it will depend the way and the terms when the River Prut will return to its natural state of inland waterway within the reunified Romanian space.
