documents from Moldova are not available
Hi! Does anybody know what happened to Moldovan church records and Revisions?
They have been unavailable for quite a few months. I found a similar post from November.
I am not aware of any changes in laws that would prohibit these files from being online. In fact, the files have been available for many years.
People at the National Archive also have no clue what this problem is about.
I was wondering if anyone knows what the problem is and whether it would be solved? Has anyone reported this to the administration of the website?

@EvhneiaSkripnik When this was first reported in November permissions were still being updated on all of our records, but it appears for this collection restrictions remain inconsistent with no clear pattern. Our rights management team is migrating to a new system, so resolution may take time but I will submit this for review.

Hello, I would like to follow up on the ongoing issue with Moldovan (Bessarabia) church records and revision lists being inaccessible.
This problem has been reported by multiple users since November, and it still persists. There is currently no clear information or timeline regarding restoration of access.
Could you please clarify the current status and expected resolution? This collection is very important for genealogical research.
Thank you.

@Angelika Iwanyuk We do understand the importance of these records in your research. The Revision Lists for Minsk are now in process of review for inconsistencies similar to those in this collection and possibly it will aid in getting a faster response for Bessarabia.

I wonder a little, if the current political situation in Moldova might be influencing things. Such as, are some accesses being locked down at the moment while attempting to harden things against cyber attacks. I wouldn't know for certain, naturally, but there is a unique situation in Moldova at the moment.
