eBook
A Satellite Empire
2019
Overview
Satellite Empire is an in-depth investigation of the
political and social history of the area in southwestern Ukraine
under Romanian occupation during World War II. Transnistria was the
only occupied Soviet territory administered by a power other than
Nazi Germany, a reward for Romanian participation in Operation
Barbarossa.
Vladimir Solonari's invaluable contribution to World War II
history focuses on three main aspects of Romanian rule of
Transnistria: with fascinating insights from recently opened
archives, Solonari examines the conquest and delimitation of the
region, the Romanian administration of the new territory, and how
locals responded to the occupation. What did Romania want from the
conquest? The first section of the book analyzes Romanian policy
aims and its participation in the invasion of the USSR. Solonari
then traces how Romanian administrators attempted, in contradictory
and inconsistent ways, to make Transnistria \"Romanian\" and
\"civilized\" while simultaneously using it as a dumping ground for
150,000 Jews and 20,000 Roma deported from a racially cleansed
Romania. The author shows that the imperatives of total war
eventually prioritized economic exploitation of the region over any
other aims the Romanians may have had. In the final section, he
uncovers local responses in terms of collaboration and resistance,
in particular exploring relationships with the local Christian
population, which initially welcomed the occupiers as liberators
from Soviet oppression but eventually became hostile to them. Ever
increasing hostility towards the occupying regime buoyed the
numbers and efficacy of pro-Soviet resistance groups.
