Universitas, ChiÈinÄu, 1993; Volumul 1Paul Vataman, Figuri sorocene, ChiÈinÄu, 1993, p.161After the 1938 Administrative and Constitutional Reform, this county merged with the counties BacÄu, Baia, BÄlÈi, BotoÈani, IaÈi, NeamÈ, Roman, and Vaslui to form Èinutul Prut.The area of the county was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940 and became part of the Moldavian SSR. The area returned to Romanian administration as the Bessarabia Governorate following the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union in July 1941. A military administration was established and the region's Jewish population was either executed on the spot or deported to Transnistria, where further numbers were killed.BOOK,weblink James Stuart Olson, Lee Brigance Pappas, Nicholas Charles Pappas, An Ethnohistorical dictionary of the Russian and Soviet empires, Greenwood Publishing Group, 1994, 9780313274978, 484, As the Soviet Union's offensive pushed the Axis powers back, the area again was under Soviet control.
