Despite to the fact that now were found some inaccuracies in this paper, we
consider that the work of St. Ciobanu remains a pioneer in elucidating the
history of Chisinau.
About Chisinau’s appearance, as well as the internal flow of its life, tells
us more Gh. Bezviconi. In another work, the author examines the way of
conferring noble titles in Bessarabia during the years 1812-1918, making a
list of noble families, which contains ranks and positions they occupied in
the administration of Bessarabia, including Chisinau. Among these figures,
shows the author Panteleimon Sinadino, noble Greek origin, mayor of
Chisinau (1905-1910) and the last three Duma deputy city.
The world trade city of Chisinau has been reflected in the pages of the works
of V. Zhukov and N. Babilunga. Thus, V. Zhukov claims that in the early
twentieth century Chisinau was the most important trade and craft center of
Bessarabia and one of the most representative of the Russian Empire, placing
fourteenth place in terms of the population number in the entire empire. The
paper examines a number of the particular aspects of of urban life’s organization,
such as: prices for labor day, townspeople ratio of income and expenditure,
the minimum consumption per capita, etc., issues which have enabled us
to pursue more detailed level and living conditions of Kishinev.
The same period, the years 1970 to 1980 of the last century, dates the
work of V. Zelenciuc. These include more about clothes townspeople in the
twentieth century, the author mainly focus on folk and on the Moldovan
stage costume. However, the most recent data and arguments made by the
researchers I. Palit-Palade and M. Batca on clothing items and fashion trends
of the early twentieth century, are convincing to the fact that male and female
costume disappeared the geographic area of Chisinau still in the mid-nineteenth
century, some aspects of it are worn on holidays, only at the periphery.
The appearance of the town was the subject of numerous research studies
and articles published in the periodical press of Chisinau. Although bear
prints style of publishing, such items are intended to inform the reader of
today, largely residents of the capital, Chisinau history of monuments, such
as: Cimitirul Central, Catedrala Schimbării la faţă, Complexul istorico-arhitectural
from downtown and others.
Study of urban population of Bessarabia during the late nineteenth century
- early twentieth century history is the subject of recent D. Poştarencu’s
concerns. The author addresses several aspects of this issue: the ethnic,
social, and confessions by the urban population by sex from Bessarabia, its
educational level, etc.
