The images for Revision Lists for Bessarabia (Moldova) are not available for accessing online
Hello!
For about a week, images of 19th-century censuses in Moldova have been unavailable online. Is this a temporary change, or will the FamilySearch website no longer offer free access to this information?
Thank you in advance!

Recent legislation has changed in that country. Due to these changes, permissions have been changed at FamilySearch to prevent any of the restricted information that was previously on file from being viewable at this time. It is recommended you keep trying in hopes that access will be restored in the future.
You could try in the meantime other sites such as Ancestry.com, FindMyPast, or even go directly to the country's own National archives that hold the records, which are posted in the catalog record.

@VitalieSt If you search in Images many of these are still accessible and it doesn't seem to be only the older records. In fact, the restrictions do not seem to go by year at all. I will try to find out if this is in error.

Thank you very much for your help! It seems that there are some technical issues, and the information will be available within a couple of months. I was told this while working with the Lists at the National Archives.
