Abstract:
The article presents a modern view of the administrative and territorial component of the occupation policy of Romania in the Ukrainian lands between the Dniester and Southern Bug during World War II. This territory called the Transnistria Governorate was a specific delimitation of the military and political interests of the warring countries – Romania, Germany, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), which determined the structural changes in the territorial and administrative plan. Based on a wide range of important documents from the archives of Romania, Moldova, and the south of Ukraine, using various methods, including the quantitative one, the authors presented the administrative structure of the governorate and statistics on the staffing of the occupation system by the functionaries in the ratio: the locals and the occupiers.
