In 1992, during the bloody conflict at the time of the Soviet Union's collapse, 1000 people, both military and innocent civilians, were lost near Bendery. A memorial museum of the Bendery Tragedy opened September 1, 1997, the fifth anniversary of the tragedy.
Creation of an exposition in the museum became the first attempt to comprehend - in chronological sequence and reflect by methods available to the museum - the events in the city of Bendery at the end of the 20th century, which began with political strikes in August-September, 1989, eventually resulting in civil war by the summer of 1992.
The photos, documents, and materials presented are historically correct.
