Alexandru Usatiuc-Bulgăr (1915–2003) was a Moldovan activist and a political prisoner in the former Soviet Union.

Biography

Between 1969 and 1971, he was a founder of a clandestine National Patriotic Front of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina, established by several young intellectuals in Chișinău, totaling over 100 members, vowing to fight for the establishment of a Moldavian Democratic Republic, its secession from the Soviet Union and union with Romania. In December 1971, following an informative note from Ion Stănescu, the President of the Council of State Security of the Socialist Republic of Romania, to Yuri Andropov, the chief of the KGB, Usatiuc-Bulgăr as well as Valeriu Graur, Alexandru Șoltoianu, and Gheorghe Ghimpu were arrested and later sentenced to long prison terms.

Usatiuc-Bulgăr was condemned to 12 years in prison.[1][2]

He was the president of the Association of former political deportees (Romanian: Asociația foștilor deportați politici).

Legacy
