2. Balta is a town in Ukraina, near the Nistre river. In 1924, Stalin created a Moldavian ASSR (Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic) in Ukraine, with Balta as its Capital. The republic had Romanian as its official language and officialized the Latin script.
Colonel Balta was elected president for four years by a large majority in April 1868, and inaugurated on 2 August His administration was on the whole prosperous and popular; but he burdened the country with immense loans for the purpose of building railroads.
In revenge, the usurper gave orders to kill Balta, and the latter was shot in his prison as he lay ill, July 22 (others say 26), 1872.
Balta was strongly urged by General Gutigirez, his minister of war, to declare himself dictator.
