Dubăsari (or Russian Дубоссары Dubossary ; Ukrainian Дубоссари Dubossary ) is a district town on the Dniester in Transnistria . With almost 26,000 inhabitants, it is the fourth largest city in Transnistria after Tiraspol , Bender and Rîbnița and the district capital of Dubossary Rajon . Dubăsari is conveniently located because the north-south connection M4 , the main Transnistrian road from Tiraspol to Rîbnița, and the east-west connection M21 from Chișinău to Odessa intersect here.
history
The name of the city comes from the plural form of the old Romanian word dubăsar , "boatswain", which in turn is derived from dubă , "small wooden boat".
Dubăsari is one of the oldest settlements in Moldova . Objects from the Stone Age and burial mounds , presumably of Scythian origin, were found in the vicinity. The modern Dubăsari settlement was first mentioned at the beginning of the 16th century as a settlement of Moldovan farmers. It became part of the Russian Empire in 1792 and was granted city rights in 1795. Until 1920 the city belonged to the Kherson Governorate .
From 1924 to 1940 Dubăsari was part of the Moldovan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic , which was a sub-unit of the Ukrainian SSR (within the Soviet Union ). In the course of the industrialization of the Soviet Union , in the phase before the Second World War , heavy industry was settled. After the Soviet Union had expanded its rule to the Prut as a result of the Hitler-Stalin Pact , Dubăsari became part of the newly formed Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic (MSSR). During the war against the Soviet Union, which Romania fought on the side of Nazi Germany , Dubăsari was occupied by Romania and part of the occupied area of Transnistria . Around 185,000 Jews and Roma were killed in this area by German and Romanian associations . In the autumn of 1941, between 6,000 and 18,000 Jews were murdered in Dubăsari and the surrounding area, depending on the estimate, and many more were deported. In the summer of 1944 the city was again taken by Soviet troops.
During the Soviet era, Dubăsari developed into one of the most important business locations in northeastern Moldova. Between 1951 and 1954, a hydroelectric power station was built in the city that provided most of the electricity for the entire MSSR.
From 1989 Moldova worked increasingly towards breaking away from the Soviet Union. Moldovan-Romanian nationalism gained massively in importance, which ultimately culminated in the abolition of Russian as the country's second official language. In eastern Moldova, today's Transnistria, the majority of the population spoke Russian and tended to stay with the Soviet Union. There the demands for a separation from Moldova or at least for full autonomy became louder.
In Dubăsari there were protests against the nationalist policies of the Moldovan government, which reacted with severity. At the end of 1990, three young protesters were shot dead by police in the city and 16 others injured. The situation worsened and, after the final dissolution of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991, developed into an armed military conflict, the Transnistria conflict . In the spring of 1992 an open war began between Moldova and Transnistria, which was meanwhile working towards complete independence as a separate state.
Dubăsari and its suburbs were one of the main battlegrounds in this conflict due to their central location and economic relevance. The region around Dubăsari was the only part of the front where the Moldovan army managed to achieve significant successes against Transnistrian troops . So the suburb of Cocieri and the district of Corjova could be taken, but Dubăsari itself remained in Transnistrian hands. The city's infrastructure suffered considerable damage during the fighting, with the population falling from 35,530 in 1989 to only around 23,650 in 2004 (without the Corjova district, which is controlled by Moldova). In the meantime the population has stabilized again, in 2010 it was just under 26,000. Since the end of the conflict, the city has been controlled by the de facto independent Transnistria . Today's border between Transnistria and Moldova runs right through the city.
population
In 1989 the population was 35,530, including 15,414 Moldovans , 10,718 Ukrainians , 8,087 Russians and 1,587 people of other ethnic origins. According to the 2004 census in Transnistria, the city had only 23,650 inhabitants, including 8,954 Moldovans, 8,062 Ukrainians, 5,891 Russians and 743 people of other ethnic origins.
economy
From 1951 to 1954 a dam and the 48 MW hydroelectric power station Dubossarskaya GES was built in Dubăsari, which took over a large part of the energy supply of the Moldovan Socialist Soviet Republic and is still of great importance for Transnistria today .
