Today, on the Independence Day of the Republic of Moldova, I congratulate the citizens of the Republic of Moldova on the 33rd anniversary since their liberation from the Soviet occupation, since they escaped the shadow of Russian tanks, and I assure them of the full support of the ICR on the European path from which, I am convinced, the Republic of Moldova can no longer be averted," said Liviu Jicman, the president of the ICR, quoted in the press release.Two events at the Chisinau Bookfair will be devoted to the work "Panorama of Post-communism in the Republic of Moldova" (Vol. I and II), coordinated by Liliana Corobca and published by the publishing house of the Romanian Cultural Institute, during which methodological aspects of the research will be debated, as well as various relevant topics for the transformations facing the Republic of Moldova.On Thursday, the Romanian Cultural Institute invites readers of all ages to discover the relationship between text and image in children's literature, in an event dedicated to the late writer Spiridon Vangheli.The second title that the Romanian Cultural Institute will launch at the Bookfest Chisinau International Book Fair is the monography "Purcarete and Boroghina.
