Moldova, officially the Republic of Moldova is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, located between Romania to the west and Ukraine to the north, east and south. It declared itself an independent state with the same boundaries as the preceding Moldovan SSR in 1991, as part of the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

120th Anniversary of Stamps of Sorokskij Uezd

(Thanks to Lou for the scan)

Soroksky Uyezd was one of the subdivisions of the Bessarabia Governorate of the Russian Empire. It was situated in the northern part of the governorate. Its administrative centre was Soroki.

Soroksky Uyezd was created in 1836 alongside Beletsky Uyezd from Yassky Uyezd which then ceased to exist. In 1918, after the October Revolution, the uyezd became part of the Kingdom of Romania until 1944, when Moldavian SSR was created as a result of Eastern Front land exchanges between the Soviets and the Nazis. Finally, in 1949, the "uyezd" territorial subdivision was abolished and three new raions (districts) were created, one of which retained the name as Raion Soroca.

150th Anniversary of Moldavia's "Bulls" 21 July 1858 - 31 October 1858

On the 21st July 1858, in the town of Jassy, the Capital of the Principality of Moldavia, there appeared Romania's first stamps. Moldavia, nowadays the northeastern part of Romania is of some historical importance. Already in 1365 a system of intrinsic government came into existence, which under the rule of Prince Stephan the Great (1456 - 1504) fought to maintain independence against Hungary, Poland and the Ottoman Empire. After Stephan's death his successor recognized the authority of the Porte but in return received considerable rights concerning autonomy and the choice of their own Prince - all this provided they remained loyal to their overlords. The Coat of Arms of the small area between the Carpathians and the Black Sea depicted the Auroch-ox, which is to be found on documents and seals of the 14th and 15th centuries. This heraldic symbol graces the four values issued: 27, 54, 81 and 108 parale.

At the end of the Crimean War (1856) the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia were under the protection of the Great Powers. In 1857 a omission for the reorganisation of the postal system of Moldavia proposed the introduction of stamps. The first step taken was to order from Vienna double circle postmarks, the strikes indicating a place name and the date and these came into use in April 1857 initially on stampless letters.

The first stamps were designed and prepared in the Moldavian Principality. A local engraver fashioned the four cliché. The iron blanks were imported from France. Each value was individually engraved and distinct recognisable differences can be seen. This is of great importance in expertising these stamps. The four original clichés together with those of the second issue are stored in the Bucharest Postal Museum. In places these are somewhat damaged by corrosion. In 1891 and again on several occasions in later years reprints were manufactured which can be recognised as such; details are given in Volume I and III of the Romanian Handbook.

The preparation of the first issue was carried out by hand, each stamp being individually printed by a simple press. The original sheet consisted of 32 stamps in four horizontal rows each of eight stamps. The two upper rows show the stamps "head up", whereas the two lower rows have the reverse arrangement. This was technically necessary because the printing press could not accommodate four rows at a time. We thus have eight téte-béche pairs (foot to foot) formed by the second and third row.
