TheBender Uprising was organized by localBolshevik groups inBender/Tighina on 27 May 1919, as a protest of the local Russian population against theannexation of Bessarabia by theKingdom of Romania in December 1918 (united in a federation with Romania since April 1918,Bessarabia wasannexed by the latter on 10 December).Red Guards from local factories were organized under the command ofGrigoriy Borisov [ro], and were supported by 150 troops of the 3rd Brigade of the 5th Division of the3rd Ukrainian Soviet Army. Together, the Ukrainian troops and the rebels captured the local railway station, post office and telegraph office. During that evening, however, theRomanian Army together with a unit of French colonial troops arrived at the scene and swiftly suppressed the uprising. Although many rebels fled across theDniester River, at least 150 of them were captured and executed.[1][2]
