In the meantime, part of the country had been detached to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic. The latter proclaimed independence in 1991, under the name of the Republic of Moldova, but Russian (ex-Soviet) forces remain in the republic, playing a key role in the Transnistrian conflict.
In The Armistice Agreement with Rumania (September 12, 1944), it was stipulated in Article 18 that "An Allied Control Commission will be established which will undertake until the conclusion of peace the regulation of and control over the execution of the present terms under the general direction and orders of the Allied (Soviet) High Command, acting on behalf of the Allied Powers. In the Annex to Article 18, it was made clear that "The Rumanian Government and their organs shall fulfill all instructions of the Allied Control Commission arising out of the Armistice Agreement." and that The Allied Control Commission would have its seat in Bucharest. In line with Article 14 of the Armistice Agreement two Romanian People's Tribunals were set up to try suspected war criminals. The Treaty of Peace with Romania was signed on February 10, 1947 and entered into force on September 15, 1947.
