Bender

Bender, also known as Tighina (Romanian/Moldovan: Tighina, Moldovan Cyrillic: Тигина, Russian: Бендéры/Bendery; Ukrainian: Бендéри/Bendery) is a city controlled by the authorities of Transnistria, the breakaway region of Moldova, although geographically on the right bank of the river Dniester. Together with the village of Proteagailovca, the city forms a municipality, which Moldova considers separate from Transnistria. Tighina is located in the buffer zone established at the end of the War of Transnistria. While the Joint Control Commission has overriding powers, Transnistria has de facto administrative control over the city and both Moldova and breakaway Transnistria have small police forces in the city.

    These are blatant lies. The old cemetry which was situated here was not a Romanian one, but actualy an old Russian military cemetry with graves dating back to XVIII century (officers and soldiers who died during the storming of Bendery fortress from the Ottomans). There are also graves of Ukrainian cossacks of Mazepa (XVIII century) and swedish soldiers of Charles XII (also XVIII century). There are numerous graves of Russian officers and soldiers from the XIX century. Romanian graves actualy comprised only a tiny part of all cemetry. And they were not demolished. All the crosses are in tact. As well as crosses of German and Hungarian soldiers from WWII. Shame on you, liers!
