History
[edit]The village of Glinjeni was formed between four hills, as it was a place sheltered from strong winds and rains. The first families were: Țurcanu, Marcoci, Corlăteanu, and Cibotaru.
The village of Glinjeni belonged to the estate of the “St. Catherine” monastery on Mount “Sinai” (1668), paying an annual tribute of 1000 sheep, 1000 hives, and 500 piglets to this monastery.
The village is located in the Ciulucul Chișcărenilor Valley, and was part of the Chișcăreni volost. It was a village with 348 houses and 2987 inhabitants, a church with the Dormition dedication, and a Russian elementary school. Founded in 1668 in a hilly region.
By 1902, there were 800 houses with a population of 4225 inhabitants (2079 men and 2146 women). For comparison, one hundred years later, the demographic aspect presents as follows: 3438 inhabitants (1666 men and 1772 women), with the vast majority being declared Moldovans, according to the census form (3398), and 23 Romanians.
Stalinist repressions affected the village in 1941 when Timofei Lazarchevici was included in the list of people to be deported simply because he had been a Romanian state official, namely the head of the local post.
