Request from the Moldavian Communist Party to send KGB officers to Moldavia in light of the âintensification of subversive activities directed against the republic by the special services and ideological centers of the Western countries,â of Israel, and of Romania. Travelers coming from Romania were deemed particularly dangerous because of their efforts âto inculcate our citizens with a nationalist spirit.â A âconsiderable part of themâ smuggled in âmaterials and literature that are dangerous from the political perspectiveâ while others âpropagated the separate course of the Romanian leadership, the idea of breaking off the former Bessarabia from the USSR and uniting it with Romania.â
