Note: Regarding the Romanian alphabet, for simplicity purposes and other logistical issues, towns in Moldova are listed in the Roman alphabet (after 1917) and without the Romanian accents.
Regarding transliteration, town names are transliterated from the Russian spelling (all documents prior to 1917). Therefore, the entry for the capital of Moldova is spelled Kishinev, not Chisinau (current spelling).
