Moldova had troops in Afghanistan?  |
| Posted by: Carol I January 02, 2006 02:45 pm | ||||
At the time of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, present day Republic of Moldavia was still a Soviet republic in USSR.  |

| Following the custom of the Russian Patriachate, the Moldavian Metropolitanate subordinated to the Russian Orthodox Church maintains a series of religious awards (orders and medals). They are available for viewing at www.soviet-medals-orders.com under "Other countries → Moldovan Religious Awards (Orders & Medals)". |

OK, but what does that mean? They had troops there or they adopted USSR medals? And why would they keep it 15 years after Afghanistan. take care |

| Many Romanians from Bessarabia served in Soviet units that were deployed in Afghanistan and the war left some marks over there. |

There were some reports stating that Moldavian commando units composed of Afghanistan veterans were quite successful in the Transdniestran conflict before the Russian intervention. |
