Sadaclia is a village in Basarabeasca District, Moldova.[2] It is situated on the east bank of the Cogîlnic River.

Etymology

[edit]

The name "Sadaclia" comes from the name of a Tatar-Nogai tribe that were removed from the area after the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774 by the Tsarist government.[3]

History

[edit]

The village of Sadaclia was first documented in 1793 and was founded on a ruined Tatar village. After the Tatars left, a settler community of 20 Moldavian mazili families, 4 ruptași families (peasants and small landholders) and 10 Polish families settled in the area. Later several Ukrainian families settled here as well. Following the annexation of Bessarabia by the Russian Empire, the Russian government granted vast tracts of land to the Russian General Sibirschi and to Lady Eufrosinia Muruzi. These peasant colonists received 1,920 desyatinas of land for their 63-64 families.[4]

The Chistoleni Monastery near Sadaclia traces its origins to 1932-1933 when Metropolitan Gurie Grosu established a hermitage on 50 hectares of land donated by the villager Vasile Pistol (also known as Chistol), from whom the monastery derives its name. In the early parts of the Second World War it was converted into an internment camp, bringing monastic life to a halt. From 1941-1944 it was converted into a nunnery, with St. Parascheva as its principal patron. After the Soviets returned it was converted into a typhus hospital, then a general hospital and finally a local collective farm. The original monastery gradually fell into ruin. After Moldova's independence it was re-established as a nunnery dedicated to St. Nicholas in 1997. After which new buildings and churches were constructed.[8]
