The author addresses the vicissitudes in the fate of the Monument to the Union (Monumentul Unirii) in Chişinău, the idea of which was proposed by P. Halippa in 1919. For twenty years the question of the construction of this monument in Chişinău stirred the minds of politicians, scientists, cultural figures, worried the whole society. Journalists from different periodicals also joined the discussion. The monument was to become a symbol of patriotism and was regarded as a tribute of thanks to all those who fought for national ideals and achieved the Unification. The idea of its creation was to consolidate society, reinforce the political act of March 27, 1918, preserve and strengthen the enthusiasm and hope of the Bessarabians. To achieve this idea, a Committee was established, which followed the legal, official way of implementing the task. The project of the monument was designed by the Bessarabian sculptor Alexandru Plămădeală and approved by the Higher Commission for Monuments under the Ministry of Religion and Arts. After the project was officially approved, the construction of the monument was to begin, especially since the Committee also managed to collect the necessary funds for this. But in 1937 another committee appeared that decided to perpetuate the act of unification of Bessarabia with Romania by installing in the city center a monument to Ferdinand I, a few minutes’ walk from the place where it was planned to erect the Monument to the Union. It was the Committee of Officers and Soldiers of the Former Moldovan Army, headed by Gherman Pântea. The appearance and activities of the new committee caused confusion in society. The Bessarabian intelligentsia tried to resist the idea of building a monument to King Ferdinand I instead of the Monument to the Union. A campaign was launched to denigrate the committee of P. Halippa, who wholeheartedly cherished the idea of creating a monument to the Union. The epic with monuments was completed at the end of 1938. Dialogue between the two committees was impossible. There were proposals for their merger, but G. Pântea refused. The Committee for the Creation of a Monument to King Ferdinand I received the highest approval for the implementation of its project. In these circumstances, the Committee for the Creation of the Monument to the Union transferred the funds collected by it to the construction of the Palace of Culture. The opening of the monument to King Ferdinand I was to take place on September 25, 1938, but the event had to be postponed due to the clarification of the conflict situation between the two committees. The opening was postponed to November 6, 1938, but it was not until February 5, 1939. The monument to Ferdinand I was erected on the site of the monument to the Russian Tsar Alexander II. Experts in the field of architecture criticized the quality of work. The author of the monument to Ferdinand I was Oscar Khan. For many years in the Bessarabian society there was much controversy, skepticism and doubts about the need for a monument to the Union or a monument to King Ferdinand I. The intellectual forces of Bessarabia, divided by different theoretical concepts and practical solutions, failed to unite and consolidate society, on the contrary, some intellectuals contributed to its dissociation. The architectural landscape of Chişinău was not enriched by a monumental work that could strengthen the sense of national solidarity. Today, 100 years after the unification of Bessarabia with Romania, it is necessary to correct this omission – to erect the Monument to the Union in Chişinău. |
