Biography

Isidor Sârbu was born in the village of Corjova (Dubăsari District) of the Russian Empire.

In the early 1930s, he had 30 hectares (74 acres) of arable land and 8 hectares (20 acres) of orchard. During the collectivization, he was considered a kulak. On March 14, 1933, Sârbu was arrested and brought to Tiraspol prison, where he spent three months. In the same day, his property and house were confiscated. After three months, he returned to Corjova, where his family rented a small room in the house of Dumitru Halippa for five rubles.[1]

In 1934, they moved to Dubăsari. But on April 10, 1935, NKVD ordered Sârbu and his wife to move to Pervomaisk. They took with them only the smallest child, an 8-year-old daughter. They fled from Pervomaisk and returned to Corjova, where is arrested in January 1936. Sârbu was condemned to three years at Tiraspol prison, but was liberated earlier, after two years and a few months. On January 26, 1938 he and his wife were arrested in Corjova and condemned at two years and respectively 1 year of prison at Tiraspol. One of his children, Olga (1921–1938), died in May. On January 26, 1940, he returned to Corjova.
