There were an estimated 15,000 Jews in the Republic of Moldova at the end of 1993. The percentage of Moldovan Jews among the Jewry of the former U.S.S.R. declined from the census year 1989 to the end of 1993 from 2.7 percent to 1.8 percent. This decline may be attributed to a higher pace of Jewish emigration from this country; in particular, in 1992, 4,305 immigrants to Israel from the Republic of Moldova constituted 7.1 percent of all the immigrants to Israel from the former U.S.S.R. in this year; and 2,173 immigrants of 1993 constituted 3.6 percent in the “Soviet†immigrants’ wave to Israel.
There were two Jewish periodical publications in Moldova in 1993, both published in Kishinev (Chisinau), the more widely circulated being Nash golos — Unzer kol [Our Voice], in Russian and Yiddish.
In March 1994 the old Jewish cemetery was desecrated in Kishinev. There were several instances of anti-Jewish violence. [Dan.Rom.]
