Czernowitzers, dear friends,
"За Родину! За Сталина! / Za Rodinu! Za Stalina! / For the Fatherland! For Stalin!" we read on the rocket in the garden of a whimsical house on the Gypsy Hill in Soroca - yes, that's what it's called, see Google Maps. We suspect to whom the sympathies of the local Roma are directed in the current war in Ukraine:

This alone would be reason enough to visit the Gypsy Baron from Soroca, in civil live Artur Cerari. It looks like I planned all this, but as a matter of fact the interview with him was a „collateral benefit“. Actually, I was just looking for the old Soroca Synagogue, of which the United States Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad writes: "Constructed in the beginning of the 20th century, the former synagogue is currently owned by municipal authorities who have turned it into a fire station." Who resides next door to it? We guessed it already: The Gypsy Baron of Soroca!
Enjoy, next stop: CZERNOWITZ - FINALLY!
