The case of the arrest of the farmer Dumitru Rotaru from Gaureni village, Nisporeni district (July 1941) confirms the knowledge about the activity of the repressive organs of the USSR on the occupied territories in June 1940. D. Rotaru’s file was made according to the practices already known to specialists: an informative note from the village council on the fortune, the family and the past of the person concerned, two or three complaints of some “witnesses”, the arrest warrant, the interrogation of the suspect and the sentencing to hard years of forced labor. But in the case of Dumitru Rotaru, NKVD “lost him”, lost sight of him. After serving his sentence, NKVD (MSS) officers from the Moldovan SSR made efforts to find him and find out details about his survival in the Gulag. But D. Rotaru did not get caught.
