Elena Alistar, one of the two women deputies in the Country Council, also had some memorial materials that were well received at the time of their appearance, and today is a very precious material for those who want to know the true course of events from 1906-1918.
Elena Alistar was born in 1873, in Vaisal, Ismail County, today Vasilievka, Bolgrad District - 1955, Pucioasa, Dâmbovița County, reburied at the "Bellu" Cemetery in Bucharest).

She was arrested on August 19, 1914, accused of pro-Romanian agitation and was in the Chisinau penitentiary for 45 days. Released due to lack of evidence, she retired to Iasi. On August 16, 1916, she was mobilized as a military doctor. In the autumn of the same year, he was hired as a doctor at the hospital in Costiujeni (October 28, 1916, December 12, 1918). Participated in the founding of the Moldovan National Party in Bessarabia in April 1917. Member of this party.
She founded the Bessarabian Women's Cultural League, from which she was elected, and later became a member of the Country Council. Mandate validated from 21.11.1917 to 27.11.1918. In the Country Council, he worked in the First Editorial Board and the School Board. At the same time, in Sfatlu Țării it is part of the "Moldovan Bloc" faction. In 1917, she founded and led the “Făclia” Cultural Security for Women Medical Students, the Moldovan Women's League, etc.
On March 27, 1918, he voted for the Union of Bessarabia with Romania. He was 42 years old at the time of his validation. He was a doctor at the hospital in Costiujeni and lived in Chisinau on Mesceanskaya Street 20.
After the Union, she was appointed director of the Diocesan School for Girls in Chisinau (December 12, 1918-1938), which she transformed into an elite school. On June 28, 1940, he took refuge across the Prut, first settling in Iași, later living in Pucioasa commune, Dâmbovița county, where he died. She was reburied in the Isanos family grave.
Today, a former street (former Glavan) in Chisinau shares the name of Elena Alistar.
His love for the nation was cultivated in his parental home. She studied at the Diocesan School in Chisinau, then married the priest Dumitru Alistar, and it is very rare that she would have remained in the memory of the villagers from Rezeni commune only because she was a good and kind priestess. He lived in Rezeni between 1898 and 1909. when her husband died, she, at the hands of the engineer and publicist Mihai Vântu, left for Romania, settling in Iași and enrolling in the Faculty of Medicine of the University.
He manifested his journalistic skills in 1912 when he wrote several articles on the occasion of the centenary of the annexation of Bessarabia to Russia, and then, for the first time, he was blacklisted by the tsarist army.
Bessarabskoe Slovo newspaper publishes curious information about Elena Alistar:
"In 1912, information was received that Elena Vasilevna Alistar (born Balan), who is studying in Romania, is an extremist Romanian fan. He printed his articles in the Romanian press, propagating Bessarabia with Romania. He studied at the University of Iași and received help from the National League of Romanians, headed by the well-known Russophobe C. Stere. With the help of the same league, Elena Alistar educates in the Iasi schools two children of peasants from Rezeni village, Chisinau county, the sons of Porfirie Botnari and Trofim Târgalo, whom she brought to Iasi in order to prepare a contingent of propagandistic peasants, who would spread the ideas of the Romanian nationalists among the Moldovans from the Bessarabia governorate. As we were recently informed, Elena Alistar arrived in Rezeni a little earlier than Russia announced the general mobilization and, as only Germany declared war on Russia, she returned to Romania. After a while, she returned to the village of Rezeni, where she began to spread rumours that there would be a war with Romania, but the natives had nothing to fear, because, as Alistar said, the Romanians would do no harm to anyone and they shall occupy Bessarabia in peace and quiet. "
On August 20, 1914, Elena was arrested, but the accusations of the gendarmes were very contradictory and unconvincing, and she was soon released.
The course of events took a different turn, with Russia and Romania finding themselves in the same camp as the Allies. When German troops occupied Bucharest and the entire elite of the country withdrew to Iasi, Russian aid was seen as the only hope of salvation. Although Elena's intuition eventually proved to be correct, on January 13, 1918, the Romanian armies invaded Bessarabia, the present-day territory of the Republic of Moldova.
At that time Elena Alistar was re-elected to the Country Council by the Moldovan Bloc and was the only woman deputy.
he retired in 1939 from the position of director of the Diocesan School. and henceforth it was only a reversal of the medal: evacuation, war, fear of being extradited to the Soviet Union, disregard for the new authorities, and, most painfully, ruin of the ideal, Bessarabia was again part of the USSR.
In 1955, she died in Romania, in Pucioasa, and only three people lived at her head: her sister, her husband, the priest Dimitrie Balaur and Mrs. Isanos. When the fate of the refugee Bessarabians improved, the relatives managed to transport her remains and bury her in the tomb of the Isanos family, at the Bellu cemetery in Bucharest.
